I have wondered if putting a suppressor inside of your handguard is a good idea so I decided to put it to the test. Do you think it is worth it?

Can you fit accessories in the m-lock over where the suppressor is or is it to tight?
Hey how tight was the mlok attachment for the light on the end of the handguard between the mlok nut/screw and the silencer?
What length is your barrel?? Looking to do a similar build.
"Tucked" cans kinda demand the use of gloves if your hand is going to be around the can area imo.
I wish someone made an old school quad rail that fit a suppressor inside. The quad is far enough away from your hands to be a good buffer. The M-Loc stuff sits too close to the barrel as it is. Ad a can and it's getting to hot to use right away.
Big question for ya: Did you have to perform any modifications to get the MI hand guard over the PWS gas piston system and were there any issues with functionality, prior to your video? I ask because I am considering it for my PWS MK109 Mod1.
did you install a shorter barrel? is it now an SBR?
Would like another video on the subject as I’m in this exact predicament. Also can you touch on mounting accessories with the can untied the handguard? Are the MLOK attachment on the inside of the handguard touching the suppressor at all? Can you use a IR thermometer next video as well.
Any info on the suppressor / hand guard?
It’s not much of an air gap with that Midwest industries I wonder how Aeros enhanced rail would have done
Why do you have a brace and a vertical grip?
What rail is that
No operation of the safety while clearing your malfunctions? Was that just due to being flustered?
I just got my first can, and decided to build a seekins precision 12.5" gun to replace my current 16" HD rifle.
I've always liked long handguards(basically an inch shorter than the barrel, i.e. a 15" handguard for a 16" barrel gun), not just because it offers more places/ways to hold the gun, but also because it allows me to mount flashlights and front sights as far forward as possible.
Since I'm switching to a 12.5" gun, I've been going back and forth on whether or not I want to use a 12" handguard, or something longer(probably 15"), that covers most of the suppresor(Seekins makes a series of rails made to fit over cans.)
My concern is of course heat, especially since this is going to my HD gun. Obviously it's extremely unlikely that I will go through enough rounds to make the handguard so hot that I can't even hold it in a home/self defense scenario, but I also need to be able to train and practice with it the way I'm going to have it set up for HD. This video seems to imply that it shouldn't be a problem, but do any of you out there have experience with this, especially running the can/handguard combo through classes? My other concern besides my hand getting hot is my flashlight overheating(though I can't imagine I'd get my handguard hot enough to do that), but even more so the tape switch and cord/wire I sometimes run under the handguard through the holes, using zip ties or something like that to keep them in place, and away from the barrel(though granted, I'm sure I can find a workaround to running the cord through the handguard.)
So anybody got an advice/ideas/precautions, etc.? If it matters, it's (going to be) a .223 wylde gun, and my suppresor is an OSS/HUXWRX 5.56k Helix, which is 1.6" in diameter. Also, does this prevent, or make it harder to mount M-Lok accessories/rails? Meaning the screws I guess?
You don't really talk about the handguard other than the maker. What was the inside dimensions of the handguard? What suppressor where you shooting? Where can I find the handguard?
I always wear a glove on my left hand..it would definitely help once it gets hot
Why doesn't your bolt hold back ?
How long is your barrel ?
Probably have better luck with that mag in the beginning with supers
Alright but what about with supers? Sorry if I didn’t catch it, but what can? And is that an Aero enhanced handguard? I’m about to build the exact same set up
You want some "tactival advice"? Get some of the dedicated 300 blackout mags from magpul. standard 300 blackout rounds may feed from a standard mag ok, but subs are too thick to feed through most mags designed for 223.
No it isn’t. Go for 200rds and say the same thing. 300subs maybe go for 250-300. If you’re running a 5.56 do NOT listen to this video! That can is going to heat soak that handguard so hot it’ll melt your gloves to it! That’s if you plan on actually running your rifle.
The gun appears under gassed with the subs and/or the buffer/spring weight is too heavy cause it wasn’t locking back on any of the mags used. It could be an under powered ammo too that would cause that.
I will say those ATI mags (to my knowledge) are advertised as only working with ARs chambered in 5.56/.223 I know for sure they say that they will not work in the Tavor or some other guns that would normally accept AR mags.
Very interesting video overall though!!
