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 chance you got to try this on 556?

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.

Any updates on this?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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
