If you people don’t tell us on this subreddit the moment the CAT/ST releases, I’m going to be VERY upset…

I WILL be asking to speak to a manager.

Seriously though boys, I don’t know if u/the_CAT_official can or normally announces the release here (I don’t know how the real world works), but if he can’t, we need to alert each other on this sub, scout’s honor.

I set up an email alert on Primary Arms but it just feels so sad and wimpy, like it’ll send the email a day late or something, idk.

Look guys… family, friends, health, money… these are all nice-to-haves, but let’s please try to keep our priorities straight with this. There is nothing more important than a 556 can with a 50+ PS suppression rating and deep down you know this…

God Bless

ETA: I should clarify, I have no beef specific to Primary Arms - at least they’re listing the item and giving you the option to get an email alert, which is more than we can say about other big names, but my general experience with the ‘get notified’ alerts has been pretty dogshit across most companies in the firearms world.

For high-demand stuff like this, the people demand pre-orders! KOmbat Solutions is coming in clutch. Alright, off my soapbox.

CACM 6Arc: When?

I feel myself slowly aging as I wait for the CACM 6 ARC to drop. My hair is going grey.

I am wondering how much longer we will have to wait? I’ve been ready since this time last year.

Cat SC/B1 - when in full configuration, the timing of the threads prevent the clips (mouseholes) from aligning. Is this an issue of any sort?

When I screw on the extended part of the SC/B1 in full configuration, you can see that the baffle clips dont come close to being inline with each other. Does this affect performance of any sort like dB, accuracy, POI, etc? Im sure I could crank it a tad further into the tapered but there's no way I could get it to line up perfectly.

Question regarding late batch CACM orders

Anyone heard word from the last batch of CACM 5.56 rifles from last winter? Been trying to contact CS and have not gotten a response in the last few months.

Wrench flats are a must

I’m finding wrench flats to be very useful on a regular basis. I typically use them to remove my suppressors but some folks use them to snug them down when attaching as well.

FYI, these wrenches work well:

https://a.co/d/0aGYQN52
https://a.co/d/09n5hm3u

They have a thin profile and I typically use them by attaching them so I can just squeeze them like a hand brake to release the tension. Only takes a few seconds.

I recently received a CAT RAT, and while I’m very happy with its performance, it was a real challenge yesterday taking it off despite the fact that I have three different strap wrenches. Had to bring it home and use my vice.

The two images above are of the CAT ST. The HUB version has flats and the QD version does not. The HUB version needs flats to install a mount, but they are optional on the QD. I’ve noticed that some QD CAT suppressors have flats, some don’t. I would like to suggest that you make it a standard feature to include. I’ve been interested in the potential benefits of QD but it’s disappointing the ST QD doesn’t have flats. This makes it a hard choice, and is pushing me toward the Tisha which was designed for HUB.

Anyone know how long CAT takes to ship?

Just bought a KK from CAT and was curious as to how long they take to ship? Everything I’ve read so far has me a bit worried ngl.

CAT customer service appreciation post

I know there have been some bad experiences recently, especially around the orders being lost, but I have to say the way CAT customer service has handled it all has truly impressed me.

I was one of the customers that had an order issue.

Mine was unique and I won't go into details, but they totally made it right and then some!

I got my refund and my free can. All within a very reasonable time frame.

Reddit messages and emails were quickly answered with real information, not just we'll look into it that we see from a lot of other companies. I even received a phone call to confirm some details.

That great customer service is why I've since bought a KK and AC556 to round out my collection.

Well done CAT!!

Suppressor advice for Kac 13.7 and 14.5 556.

Hi everyone,

Avid Cat fan. Already have a KK, AC556, RDM ODB, RDM WB, and CACM (full rifle+suppressor)

I have a 14.5 and a 13.7 Kac that i just picked up, and I'm trying to decide what suppressors to put on them. basically best all arounder.

14.5 part of my is thinking ST, but I also think a VB6 would probably be great here.

13.7 i'm thinking AI 5cm.

What are everyone's thoughts? Should i just get another KK? is there something i should wait for? Everything has AI nano on so all my cans are interchangeable.

Mini-Draco vs Krink

I’m a “get the suppressor and figure the mount out later” type of guy. Anyway, I got an RDM ODB and I’m looking to put it on either a Century Arms Mini-Draco (7.75”) or a PSA Krink. It’ll be an SBR range toy. My SHTF rifle is a 11” Bren 2 in 5.56. The Draco would be my first 7.62 gun but I’ve heard that round is easier to handle out of short barrels than a 5.56 fireball. Was originally thinking Krink because of my love for the AK74u in BlOps 1. Haha

Recessed 1/16 LH muzzle devices

Does anyone make a recessed 1/16 LH muzzle device similar to what Wolfpack Armory is doing with the recessed Night Howler plan B mount?

If not, WHY NOT? I want that shortness.

CAT WB compatibility with 6ARC

Does anyone here happen to know if 6 ARC would work with the CAT White Bread? I know it’s likely not optimized or ideal for 6 ARC, but let’s say I want to shoot around 100-200 rds of 6 ARC a year, would this be pose any issues? Most of my shooting will be on my 12” or 14.5” 5.56 rifles, but I do have an 18” 6 ARC that I use for hunting and, occasionally, for PRS.

CAT SC B1 - Reliability Concerns

Am I the only person having nonstop issues getting a SC to run reliably?

This SC functions reliably almost all of the time on USP Tactical, but that USP never malfunctions with higher back pressure cans.

The CZ P10C malfunctions in various ways (mostly short stroke related) when trying 4 different recoil spring weights and 6 different types of supersonic and subsonic ammo. People say it needs grease; I use white lithium grease. People say lighter recoil spring, did it. Tried all the types of ammo.

With the higher back pressure cans I have, all ammo, all springs, no grease, no problems.

Is there a lighter booster spring that I need to buy so that the can decouples from the barrel better?

VB6

I just received my VB6 from my FFL. I know I was ones of the first few to get an order in from Silencer Shop. I have plans for this on a 16” mod H 556 rifle. Just a heads up the can did only come with just a 5/8x24 nano. The fine gents at CAT said they are going to get one out for me. I’m ready to get this sorted and some time behind it.

Stuck CAT KK on rifle help

Hello,
So having a good time with my kitty Kat. Originally I had some issues with it walking off my nano mount, so I got used to torquing it down with a strap wrench . Seemed to stay on better overtime and I just left it on my rifle through a few range sessions after it seemed to stop walking. Anyway, now I cannot for the life of me get it off. Probably went too ham with the strap wrench.

I tried to get it off with the wrench, no joy. Shot 10 rounds, still no luck while it was warm and just ended up just shredding my strap wrench from the friction. Anyone have tips to get this off? My next plan of action was to buy a new strap wrench, soak the muzzle and suppressor in break through fo a few hours and hope for the best.

Thanks !
