    My experience with the NT4 is that it is plenty quiet but longer cans are quieter, which is why they were made that long in the first place. Longer lasting I can definitely see. But I'm very weight conscious.

    As to the 3T, I've not fired one but I can't imagine it coming anywhere near the effectiveness of a two port muzzle brake. Does it?

I couldn't care less about meeting military requirements when it comes to my personal suppressors, but a threaded, replaceable endcap is a great feature that SF and company haven't brought to market.
    Why is it a great feature? You're either getting baffle strikes or not. I like my end caps welded on. Lighter, more durable etc.

    The reported advances in materials science have my interest but beyond that I'm disinclined to buy one.

    Absolutely. When you fire it, it's like the dot vibrates, but doesn't really move.

    Even when shooting my second favorite brake ever (Surefire MB556) the dot moves vertically a little bit.

    I have seen the 3 prong bend. Granted it was dropped, but I have heard the same same complaints before as well.

    I bought 2 of the new Surefire flash hiders/adapters here : http://www.webersguns.com/3prong-fla...cturers_id=263

    I have used the AAC and Smith Vortex flash hiders in the past and they are excellent hiders. The first thing I noticed about the new SF flash hiders when I had them in my hand was the weight and how beefy and strong they looked and felt. As we all know, anything made by man can be busted, bent or broke . I think you might very well bend or spring the barrel before you bend the tines on this flash hider/adapter. It will be interesting to see how well the new vented blast baffle in the SOCOM Series cans work at reducing the cyclic rate and back pressure of the weapon. Probably no need for a Switch Block or adjustable gas block.

    There's a long discussion already going on about this in the NFA section including a Surefire rep chiming in.

    The endcap isn't threaded or replaceable, there's a superficial endpiece that you can play with.

    That's not always because of the can. There's a lot of factors in how much gas you get in the face.

    So where are the mounts for those of us who have the older cans? I can't find them on the website.

    Edit: nevermind. I see where Garin said they will keep producing the older mounts, they just won't have them on the website.

    I forgot to mention this.

    Those look like rifle gas guns. If you had shot 'em with no gas in the face from an unmodified (not tuned for supressors) 10.5'' CAR gas gun, I'd be super impressed.
