Any ideas on when the new AAC 762 SDN will hit retailers? Any ideas on the price? I hear it will be more than the regular 762 SD. I WANT ONE!!!
I really want one too, all indications is it won’t be at retailers until at least SHOT 2011.
The 51-tooth 762-SD is available now, retails for $875.
The new 51-Tooth 762-SDN-6 should be available around/at SHOT this year. It retails for $1050 plus mount.
Differences- the “N-6” is about 1.25" shorter, and due to some internal changes is a few dBs quieter.
The “SD” has an Inconel blast baffle and the rest of the baffles are stainless. The “N-6” has a full-inconel stack, including the endcap, explaining the price difference.
For 762 SBRs or full-auto, the “N-6” will hold up to more torture.
They weigh about the same.
They both make excellent multi-cal cans- 308, 300 AAC, 6.8, 5.56…
They will both continue to be made.
Hope that helps some.
you can go here: http://www.300aacblackout.com/ scroll down to near the bottom and there’s a link to download the infosheet for the 762-sdn-6.
Thanks alot Jason.
Well I know there’s at least one outside of AAC right now. 
I’ll be shooting it Tuesday.
Show off! 
LOL. What fun is it if you can’t brag a little bit? :sarcastic:
Dick. :jester:
Thanks for the update. I have to ask: is the “few dBs quieter” due entirely to the baffle design change? I’ve never heard of inconel being any quieter than stainless. So it must be the design, right?
Full auto users will appreciate the all-inconel stack. So will 7.62 SBR shooters.
I don’t own a full-auto & do not plan to own a 762 SBR. I doubt most customers own a lot of such guns (though there are always a few).
Couldn’t you simply offer a shorter, lighter, 51 tooth 762-SD with the re-designed baffles made of a mix of inconel/stailess, and offer it at the lower price of the current 762-SD?
Just asking, and thanks for what you guys do.
According to the Mers video, they added an extra inconel baffle to the SDN can while also making it shorter.
Must be nice to have friends that give you cool stuff 
It all has to go back when I’m done. Well, all but the ammo. Not really a way to go dig that out of the berm…
:sarcastic:
Either way you still get some cool bragging rights.
I look forward to the pics and write up. 
Please, ask away, glad to answer if i can.
The sound difference is completely due to the internal design, not materials. The materials simply up it’s durability.
A 762-SD built like an “N-6”, but stainless, would still cost more than the current 762-SD… extra baffle, spacer, more welding and modified baffles.
Fair enough & thanks for the explanation!
I am pleased with your company’s products (18T 762-SD owner) and I would recommend them to others. My can does not “back off a tooth or two” and does not loosen up at all. In addition to 5.56 duty, I will probably have a 26" tube for 300 Win Mag threaded for a AAC brake & use it on that too.
Like others, I will bring up minor constructive observations; I would like to buy a Blackout threaded left hand for 30 cal AKs but that does not seem to be offered.
Also, I’d like less/no “front toward enemy” marking, and maybe more Rachel on the site. OTOH, I am sure you have customers who don’t appreciate the lifestyle & want LESS Rachel and MORE “front toward enemy” type stuff. There is no pleasing everyone all the time.
Ha, thanks- I welcome comments, criticism, compliments, thoughts, observations, whatever.
“pleasing” everyone is the impossible task for sure, but we do try.
As for the particular thread- we are constantly expanding thread pitch offerings (I know it is never fast enough)… 30 cal LH- what is the thread pitch?
Rob, now that you spent some quality time with the can, what are you willing to share??
I’m obviously not Rob, with that in mind.
I’ve had one since before Military Times released the information about the caliber and upper. To say that I was skeptical about claims of begin more quiet than a MP5 would be an understatement, but I’ve got to say that I’m impressed.
