Thanks a lot, brother! Glad I could help 
I recently discovered (by complete accident) how to better utilize natural lighting when snapping pics outside. I've obviously still got a ton to learn, but I've definitely progressed over the past many months. I haven't even attempted to shoot inside yet, but I'll give it a go one day when I have an abnormally high patience level (which isn't very often), because I know I'll just get really frustrated until I get it halfway right. 
Thanks again, man.
Semper Fi,
Paul

Paul,
Once you get a lighting setup you like, start making minor changes to see what works, and what doesn't. If you are doing indoor shots or using artificial light, you might want to look at picking up a tripod. Slow shutter speeds will beat you up if you don't.

I've got a pending Form 4 for a Surefire FA556K-212 suppressor that should be all mine in a couple months, but now after seeing this I have to go and buy a damn KAC can too!!
Unless maybe I can somehow modify my Triple Taps to accept a Surefire can....hmmmm, I think it's finally time to buy a Dremel!!
*ETA: Whoops, I got so caught up in my joking around that I totally forgot to say congrats on your new KAC suppressor, brother!
Have fun with it man!
Paul

I had my Larue SBR with M4-2000 (yes the irony is thick with that combo) and I'd say to my ears they sounded about the same dB level. The NT4 however was a deeper sound to it, in a good way.
I also think the mount is more positive on the KAC suppressor. However it does require a bit more muscle removing than the AAC product. However the M4-200 has a TINY bit of up and down, side to side, movement (a mm at most) whereas the KAC is SOLID. There's maybe a little rotational play, but that's fine and maybe 2-3 degrees. Overall it's awesome. I'd heard people say it was a heavy suppressor, but on the SBR it feels awesome.
I need to drop KevinB a line and find out which buffer should be used with the NT4 when used in combo with the SR-15 E3. And I need to find a good home for the unused NT4 flashhider.

KAC Triple Tap
All Inconel break, supposed to work very well without all as much blast common with regular breaks.

Right now only on the "used" market. Watch all the forums for sale sections.

Thanks. Nice rifles. I found a few assembled but I'm just wanting a stripped lower.

Stick,
could you post a few full size photos of your rifle with the m203. That thing
looks sick.

Very nice, Stick! Do you ever get the chance to shoot any high explosive rounds out of that, or do you primarily shoot the orange training rounds? I imagine it's a little challenging to get the really good explosive ammo, huh?
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a chance to shoot forty mike-mike HE rounds again, just one more time... It truly never gets old launching those things several hundred yards away and hitting your target dead center! I don't believe I've ever seen someone shoot an M203 and not have a huge smile on their face... even in combat.
It's definitely a crowd-pleaser to watch your fire team's grenadier/team leader lob a 40mm HE round and hit a moving car from your moving amtrac
Good times, good times!!
