Monday morning I was shooting my suppressed AR s off the porch of my camp. I was shooting water hyacinths as they floated down the creek. I took the can off the carbine and screwed & locked it onto my pistol as usual. when I shot the noise was too loud, I got powder in the face and my new Omega went flying and landed in the middle of the raging creek!! we are supposed to be in the dry season but the creek is flooded out of its banks and where the can landed is now about 20 ft. deep. now I have to wait until the water goes down to hunt for my can. hopefully it will be soon! I don't want to have to put a tank on and dive in that black gator infested water with my metal detector but will if I have to. moral of this story - MAKE SURE YOUR CAN IS ON TIGHT!! I am pretty sure mine was but I did have a problem twice before with it not locking on my Mini 14's muzzle brake but I thought it was just a problem with that brake. now I think the lock ring on my mount is not working properly. I'll probably replace it if & when I find my can.
hopefully the current didnt take it too far downstream on you and it did just essentially go straight to the bottom

Id be out there with a magnet and rope. Don't feel too bad, a couple weeks ago I was walking on the frozen bank of my creek and had my mp5k on a 1 point sling. The screw that holds the swivel to the rear cap on the receiver backed out and my mp took a swim in the creek. Luckily it was only about shoulder deep and I fished it out but it was a heart stopping moment when it went splash.
