didn't see a thread on this so thought I would ask the brain trust about their thoughts between the two. I like the left hand thread of the Xeno, but seems like the Rearden/Plan B has gained some traction. Both seem to be a wash as far as weight (adapter plus muzzle device). Costs are close enough that it's not an issue as well ($80 vs $140 for adapter, around $80/ muzzle device). With the new Xeno zero mounts, they have all of my threadings covered with Xeno. I assume the same for the Plan B (the only odd one that is a bit tough to find is 11/16x24 for the 45-70/Primal).
Currently have all of my stuff set up for Keymo as well as muzzle devices so may just keep going with the status quo. All cans are HUB. Only one barrel is P&W with Keymo so there is that. I may not change anything but thought I'd ask as I start to go further into the rabbit hole of "is there a better system". I have a couple more cans in jail now and keep rethinking my Keymo mounts. I've been swapping around a Dead Air Nomad 30 the past couple of years on a variety of rifles with zero issues. My main reason for considering a change is if the Xeno or Plan B might be more repeatable/accurate, and weight. The Xeno and Plan B are right around 4oz (adapter and 1/2-28 brake) vs 8.7oz for keymo. Saving 4oz out at the end of the rifle might be kinda nice. That's the difference between a regular and ti can right there.
A couple of random thoughts related to my setups- I do have at least one barrel/upper that is a 13.9 that is pinned and welded Keymo muzzle brake and another 13.9" that is a suppressor specific barrel that I had thought about P&W another muzzle device with a dedicated can for this one (since the gas port is pretty small and it doesn't run reliably without a can (FCD/SOA collab barrel w/ small gas port)). Currently have 11 centerfire rifles with threaded barrels (and all except 1 have keymo muzzle devices- FCD, NOX, DA, etc). Most are 1/2-28 thread, a couple are 5/8-24 and one odd ball 11/16-24.
Right now it seems like Rearden is the go to for most things PlanB (and Q), Dead Air is main for Xeno but FCD and LMT are both making Xeno mounts now.
