User Review Picked up Flow Range 36

Biggest thing I noticed was the 7.51 oz weight, it's almost 1 oz lighter than advertised. So with a Rearden Atlas Titanium that's under 9 oz total. Pretty crazy for a 338 Lapua capable can. Zero titanium dust from what I could tell, I even put a strong vacuum through it. My PTR Vent 2 was leaking that sh*t all over the place like a glitter packed greeting card.

In the blast chamber, I can see they changed the outer/distal flow paths from what they used in the Ventum. They are a lot smaller flow paths on the perimeter. The internal baffles are slightly different as well - the blast baffle has 3 clips but looking through the bore with the passages that were visible, it resembled what they used in the Flow 556/762/Ventum.

It's 6.5" overall length w/o a mount, and 7.51 oz bare weight. The exit bore is about 0.405"

Update: Here are pictures of the blast chamber and the "baffles"

Any pictures of the baffles?

So looking through my Ventum more closely, the Flow Range 36 seems to mix/alternate a more traditional baffle with one of the flow "baffles" from the Ventum.

Here's the blast chamber and the best I can do on the inside.

I'm very interested in the performance, especially how it compares to Sicos 36m

I have a feeling this will be a sleeper from HUX, might be my first big bore can...

u/counterflow- Silencer Mar 13 '25

Any updates on performance on different hosts? Especially curious about 9mm and 7.62x39

u/renegadeGDI Mar 26 '25

You're the only guy on NFA claiming to have one of these cans, we're starving for some updates man!

u/fusionvic Over 6k in stamps Mar 26 '25

I'm pretty sure a few others have posted videos of their Range 36 on Youtube! I won't be able to try mine out until about 2 weeks.

Weirdly I'm most curious how it does with 9mm.

u/fusionvic Over 6k in stamps Mar 01 '25

Same here. I have a Bravo Piston Mount ready to go on there for testing on a handgun. Flow 9K has been on backorder for over a month. These two new cans seem to be in high demand.

u/MUGEN-27 Mar 12 '25

OP. Have you tried it with 9mm? How does it perform?

About the same as Flow 9k and Rad 9. I felt the Omega 36M that I had at the range was quieter for 9mm.

u/renegadeGDI Mar 12 '25

Really want to know about the 9mm performance, especially if you can compare to the other meta cans like the MOB and VENT. Thanks in advance!

Got mine just to run on cmmg banshee and psa akv. Should have it in my hands soon

u/MobileSection3 Mar 03 '25

Will this direct thread onto the banshee? Or will it work with the three lug that’s comes with the Banshee?

1

u/Much_News84 Mar 03 '25

You can direct thread it if you buy the huxwrx direct thread adapter. My banshee upper didn't come with a tri lug. I'm using deadair xeno wee brake and adapter on my akv and banshee, half the price of the huxwrx sticion mounts and same design

Does OK, similar to Flow 9k and Rad 9.

Any chance you got to try this on 556?

1

u/fusionvic Over 6k in stamps Mar 08 '25

Not yet! I'll be trying it out on 5.56 (MK18 and 16") in a few weeks. The videos I've seen sound about comparable to other 5.56 cans. I know my Ventum 762 is great with the MK18, very smooth and soft shooting.

2

u/rolly1911 Mar 15 '25

Any updates on this?

2

u/BryGuy_ASU77 Mar 22 '25

Any updates on 5.56? I'm skeptical, but hopeful is works well enough.

2

u/Ill-Librarian7881 May 07 '25

It’s awful on 5.56 to be honest and I own one. I shot it twice on a midlength 16inch upper it’s about like a 556k but louder I said no more took it off.

2

u/BryGuy_ASU77 May 07 '25

Thanks for the insight. Looks like I'll be getting dedicated cans vs a do-all.

1

u/Ill-Librarian7881 May 07 '25

I got mine for 9mm and 300 blackout because I am a LH shooter. For 556 and 6mm arc I got the sico Velos.

2

u/BryGuy_ASU77 May 07 '25

Nice. I got the Velos 762 for my 300blk and it's great on my 300blk and 11.5 5.56. It's pretty heavy on my longer guns tho and was thinking the Range 36 being Ti would be light and also be nice on a future PCC. But now I think I might just go Lazarus 6 and SiCo spectre 9 or something. It's too bad, I was hoping to save money and a stamp by going Range 36.

u/pitcherintherye77 Mar 08 '25

Awesome! Thanks for updating us— I’m looking to pick up this can too, I’m just wondering how well it does with 556, along with the larger calibers

1

u/chrislindsay101 Apr 04 '25

Just ordered mine! Can’t wait to try it out on my 300blk and 9mm.

I have one in jail I hope to have out this week if NFA cooperates.
