[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1888999, member: 70595"] I started with direct thread on my gas guns and then changed to the ASR mount with my Omega 300. At first, I thought putting so much weight on the end of my 20" barrel might cause accuracy problems and I have nothing but time so I would direct thread. My accuracy was very good. My son kept nagging me to try a QD so I gave in thinking that I would show him how bad it is to add a couple ounces to the end of a barrel. I was wrong. My accuracy did not diminish. One of the only reasons I would go back to direct thread is that it is going to be a lot harder for you to forget to lock your threads and shoot your can off the end of your rifle. I have become very careful to ensure I lock my ASR QD mount. The good thing about using an QD is that I use the ASR mount that looks like a comp, that comp looking thing can and will take a lot of wear and tear off of the can acting as a blast baffle. I'm not sure if anyone will fire rounds fast enough to burn their cans but with the comp looking thing will help keep the first couple of baffles from being fire-eroded. Think throat erosion. I also learned that a direct thread mount gets pretty gummy when a lot of rounds are fired through the can and can be difficult to remove from your barrel after everything cools down. A QD takes a lot more dirt to lock up. Either way, buy yourself a decent strap wrench just in case. Don't screw a hot can onto a cold barrel or you will have problems removing the can later. Have some quiet fun out there! [/QUOTE]
