Anyone have a range report on one of these? Guy is local in Corpus Christi. Smells like snake oil but I'd like to be proven wrong.

That's the thing, they've been around for a long time, very few reviews anywhere. I have a friend enthralled with them. Anyone have a 9mm can in the CC area we could take over to their place and compare? I have a feeling it'd be a great eye opener to the NFA community.
CF could prove insanely expensive or impossible to fix if damaged, which is worth considering. Also, in all the research I've done in the past, I have basically heard nothing good to say about that company, which says a lot.
So would I as long as I had a video camera handy.
Better be in a safe location when you start pushing one on FA. CF is not a material with design parameters for high temperature suppressor use. They claim different but refuse to prove it and they have had suppressors come apart from mild shooting.
Carbon fiber itself is very heat resistant. The weak link is how it's bound together. If they are making these things in an autoclave, they should be more than up to the task. If the are using more conventional epoxies... yeah, not very heat resistant.
they have had some already auto disassemble on them.
There is a slew of issues using CF in center fire riffle suppressors. Differential growth, resin temperature resistance, poor performance in erosive/sand blasting environment, and poor impact loading characteristics under high cyclic loading.

I have tried this concept 5yrs ago using carbon/ceramic casings and the weakest link is the end caps at the threads because of fiber expansion. A sealed can is more positive but not serviceable nor cost effective by saving weight. I may pick up again someday were I left off using a different casing method.
