    any reviews yet? I couldn't find anything. Im interested to see the the r3 vs the mini4.
    Everything I say has no basis in fact. Please refrain from using things in context and use at your own risk.

    There won't be any reviews yet, as I don't think any have shipped.

    It's a thread-on M4-2000, so it [should] be very good.

    Hopefully someone in the industry can get a review up soon. Even if they had shipped, we'll still wait 6 months on the NFA til any of us regular guys can get our hands on one

    I'm actually considering getting one of these to rocksett onto my DD MK18. The way I see it, it's a $500 flash hider/muzzle break. That 10.3 really "needs" a can anyway, but why waste $800-$1200 for a "consumable" muzzle device when the gun "needs" to be suppressed anyway?

    Todd, IG, Jason, you guys see a hole in this argument?

    I see a $200 tax stamp hole and long term use on a 10.3" barrel without a muzzle brake to dampen some of the muzzle blast will surely leave a nice big hole in your blast baffles.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Fair enough. Couple counter-points:

    1) $550 is retail. I can probably get it for $350-$400 with some people I know, so that $500-$550 is tax stamp included.
    2) The muzzle blast would be the same on a $550 can as it would be on an $800-$1200 can. I'm well aware of using the brake mount as a sacrificial baffle, but then if/when you shoot without the can, you've got a super-loud gun. It's all inconel construction. How long do you think it would last?

    i wasn't considering one until I saw this thread, but I may now change my mind. I was thinking of an M4-2000 or a KAC QD-N4. However recently I had seen the new 5,56 can from SilencerCo and have been interested in it as welll.....decisions, decisions....

    It will last a good long time... you know going in that it will wear faster than on a 16" gun.

    I think it's a good option.

    even if worn way out, it will still cut down the blast considerably.

    A QD can with a muzzle brake mount WILL last longer, but how much? no one can tell you.

    I've seen M4-2000's run on 10" guns full auto for many thousands of rounds, using just the flash hider mounts. And those arguably cause more baffle wear than a thread mount, since the hiders 'focus' the blast on just three points...

    You're going into this with your eyes open, knowing that the can is a wear item. GTG.

    Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of those. Or with Surefire or OPS... just pull the trigger and enjoy it.
