It was, I heard from bystanders it was visibly bouncing around on its mount/threads

I stand corrected, there is not a serial number range of recalled cans.
Here is an email exchange

Your friend was incorrect. Your Suppressors are fine.
Minimum Barrel Length 11.5 ", Only moderate full auto ...a couple of mags in a row...no belt fed
Don't shoot junk Ammo, no Reloads, no +P. Don't do anything stupid. We usually find that people tend not to tell the truth when they do stupid. We will be nice and investigate.

Here is a video of a dealer purposely trying to destroy our suppressor. Have you seen this ?

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.

Cheaper only costs less once.

That YouTube link says the video does not exist.

That YouTube link says the video does not exist.

I copy and pasted and the link i shortened from where I grabbed it.

I think all in all it's a crappy response.

 

[Bh10]

No surprise here. I am surprised they got HTA to replace it, I would've figured they would have said it was still well within their specs.

That is a horrible response from a company. I have always been neutral on HTA. I have 2 of their cans that I think underperform but they were cheap so I just considered it a lesson learned. But after this thread and reading that response, I will not be purchasing any other HTA product. WTF does "don't do anything stupid" mean anyway? Is that the new warranty language, when you buy a Toyota, will the warranty just say "don't do anything stupid" vague language favors the warrantor I guess

What miffs me is they imply that those who had cans kb were likely liars, it makes me wonder what is really wrong with the cans since this is not the first instance of this.
