I haven't bought anything from them in a while. I heard they were disbanding the AAC brand and firing employees. I don't have any recent news though.

IMO - No they are not relevant right now.
AAC does have a rep responding in the Silencer Section of ARF now, which was not the case a year ago. He is hinting at some new cans coming in the short future. And it appears that they are still responsive to warranty claims.
That said, I cannot think of any current AAC suppressor that I would buy, outside of a crazy good bro deal from an ATF agent who would ramrod my Form 4 in a week.
With respect to customer service...
I don't own SilencerCo, but man, they are killing it in customer service. Guy on ARF had 2 baffle strikes on the same trip (one may have been shot by his friend!?! Its a shit show on pages 2-3). SiCo ended up fixing both (had to shorten both but meant no new stamps). "Fixed" cans pictures are on page 5 so you can skip the drama.

Apparently, SureFire isn't policing the reviews on their site. From a year ago...

I didn't know that Remington had bought them. That explains why the DPMS I was looking at comes with an AAC flashhider/silencer adapter now.

I wasn't aware they were bought either. Wonder if that's why a few years ago they had amazing deals on TiRant cans. I got one for 400 I believe and they were running buy one get one free after that.

gov contracts?
Yes
Silencerco CS is legendary.
They're still out there, but due to the spike in suppressor manufacturers their luster has faded. I am waiting on a couple of AAC cans (45M & 556SD) and I own a SDN6. I recently had a positive experience with AAC/Remington CS after I purchased a bad AAC blastout diverter. I received a replacement in two days.

Same for me. Had a baffle and end cap strike on 762 Specwar (my fault). Sent it in and it was returned in a week. They also updated the ASR mount. All for the cost of shipping it in. They paid the return shipping.

AAC was bought By Freedom Group, same bunch that has Remington Bushmaster and a host of others.
Well when they took over part of the deal was that the owner Kevin Brittingham was to stay on as CEO
He stayed till the terms of he contact ended then they kicked him out and stiffed him for the balance of the sale price.
Kevin fought in court for 4years and won,Last I heard he's at Sig running there suppressor program
Now AAC is not half as good as they were before, That's what happens when accounts get in the gun business and only care about the bottom line,No passion for the product

Good lead. Brittingham has since left Sig to form his own company again. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...aunches-q-new-firearms-rd-manufacturing-shop/
Might be launching some stuff at SHOT 2017.

Model names are funny but they look like a continuation of his work at Sig. The good news is that even more suppressors are going to hit the market in 2017.

Out of curiousity, did the pin that holds the ratchet fall out? That happened to mine and it took three weeks to resolve because they were backordered for replacements (not repairs). I'm wondering if the wrong size hole was drilled out for the pin on their first run.
