No, but if you call they can confirm your serial number.
Maybe you plan on using them for life, but I imagine most end up forgotten about in the back of the safe after they get replaced with newer and better technology. They are a money pit to be sure, one that most will never recoup a single dollar from.
Yup. I have to get crreative to find reasons to use some of my cans over the new ones. Easiest way to do that is shoot with friends so you have a reason to use all of em.
Did they change the design to add strength? I was wondering if it was possible for the forward portion of the can to back off of the threads, creating the possibility of allowing movement of the baffle stack and allow gas to escape from inside the steel "sealed" core? Is that possible with the design? Would that create a sufficient pressure spike to rupture the tube?
I see you judge quality by price huh? Fact is a word "value" is at play here. If every one of HTA's can's were garunteed to perform the same, or even 5% of their cans were going to fail in this manner...i would agree with you. But you cats catch wind of one of their lines of can's having an issue pop up here and there(on a LIFETIME warrantied product) and all of a sudden the brand is bewitched. Non of your suppressor come with a guarantee. ALL are prone to failure, and all will experience failure. Dont kid yourself. Nothing is fool proof, ever. Youll just be crying harder when your $1500 can ****s the bed.
There are other good reasons to spend more on a can(weight, dims, perceived sound level), but to convince yourself that it will never fail makes you a fool. Atleast HTA was intelligent enough to put the serial # on the right parts, is easily user serviceable, is a great company that supports their product, offers competitive suppression, has a lifetime warranty, and comes in at a price point where you can afford more ammo, mags, and range time.
Please name your favorite brand of suppressor, ill see if i can dig up some failures.
Register with NFAtalk and ask them directly?? I've talked with the owner there a few times.
