    I know I don’t care about nice. Please elaborate. If you had a bad experience, I at least, would be very interested in the whole story.

    That’s unusual, I haven’t had any quality issues. Can you elaborate exactly what the issue was?

    I don't have one of their suppressors, but I have run into a few of their other products.

    Personally, I would not recommend a YHM product to anyone I care about because of their design choices and what I see as QA/QC issues. If a company makes a less-than AR pattern rifle, I am not interested in their suppressors especially in a saturated market.

    If you've had awesome experiences with YHM that's awesome. Maybe they have the suppressor game figured out and everyone else just hasn't noticed yet.

    I'm just not willing to roll the dice based on what I've seen (and heard) especially with so many other viable and verifiable options out there.

    Why risk a possibly janky product when there are known alternatives? It's the American way to just do better.

    I mean no offense, but this reads like you're recommending against a Corvette because a friend of yours had a 1995 Cavalier that was a piece of crap, so all things GM suck and it's un-American to buy something inexpensive.

    If you have genuine experience of any kind with a YHM Suppressor I'd be interested in hearing it. I have two friends with YHM suppressors, one a 556 Turbo-K that has spent its whole ~6k round count life on an 11.5in AR with a binary trigger, and had no issues. Another with a 5.56 Turbo on a pinned/welded 14.5in M4gery that has seen less vigorous usage, but still has had no issues. No problems with mounts, no problems period beyond the typical gas blowback inherent on DI AR's with suppressors.

    Given the $200 tax involved and the wait time, I've noticed that any given company making suppressors tends to pay even more attention to QC/QA vs their Non-NFA accessories, etc.

    Since this thread is about 7.62 suppressors, it'd be great to limit the discussion about a brand to that specific line of products. Or, if one simply can't help oneself, relate specific instances of QA/QC issues with another product or line of products.

    I really hope that YHM releases a Resonator K (.30). Their Turbo K (5.56) is selling like hotcakes and for good reason.

    I have a couple of 7.62 Sakers for over 4 years now and have not experienced any problems to date. Although I will say that after using Surefire suppressors at work, my next one will be a SF.

    I've got two Sakers, they're much better now that I converted them to KeyMo. I thought that the MAAD mounts were fine until they locked up on me. Then SiCo couldn't answer phone nor email from me for months.
