Same here but I am going to have to call AAC. A member on the ACR forum contacted AAC about the possibility of shooting 7mm Rem Mag through his SDN6 and was told by Mike Mers that it would be fine as long as the barrel length was at least 24". If I can shoot .300WM out of a 26" barrel through an SDN6, my decision is made. :smile:
My vote is for .30 can. I wish i had gone that route. 1 can 1 stamp for multiple diff calibers
I understand your constraints, but the more I play with my SDN6 on my SBR'ed SCARs, the more I wouldn't want any more weight or length than the SDN6. Less would be better, but it's right at the max I would want out in front of the barrel.
I realize that there are trade offs, if LR shooting / suppression is a priority or smaller can for CQC type shooting.
Not sure on the suppression difference between the SF mini and the SDN6, but I imagine there is some loss with the mini.
Good luck! Decide soon and get the paperwork rolling if you want it in your possession in 2013! Form 3s are at 2 months and Form 4s at 6...
If this is your first can, go with the SDN6 (IMHO). It's versatile and works well. It's one of those "If I can only have one..." sort of things.
And if this is your first can, I'm willing to bet it won't be your last. I started out thinking I was done at one - I have three now. I'd get the specialized stuff later. Versatility in the short term!
I sent Mike Mers at AAC an email this morning that included the following question:
"Is it safe to shoot .300 Win Mag through a SDN6 if the barrel is 24” or 26” long?"
The answer I received was:
"Yes, you can do this. 26” is best and no shorter than 24”."
Mers didn't say anything else but I believe using the brake mount would be the best bet here.
Looks like I'll be ordering a SDN6. :smile:
Just heard from Mers again. He says brake only for the SDN6 on .300WM.
I wouldnt hop on an AAC 51T can today if you paid me. The socom mounts are exponentially superior, and at a lower cost the SpecWar also have a better mounting system. If AAC ever releases their new mount I might consider, but for now, on the 51T, no possible way.
That's what I'm worried about.
I know it's likely overblown, and MOST people probably have had no issues with theirs, but I don't know that I'm willing to take the chance with what for me will be a substantial lifetime purchase.
A factory mounting system should be 100 percent from the factory, IMO, and shouldn't require tweaking for it to lock up correctly.
My hangup with the Specwar is length primarily and secondarily weight. 9" is a lot to hang off the end of a 16" carbine or SBR.
I'm more confused now than when I started. :confused:
