    Good luck finding one local. I went through Silencer Shop. I've been hearing anywhere up to 2 mos for form 3s from other dealers, but with SS I've heard 5-15 days on F3s. No idea who they have on the inside...but they're doing something right.

    I like mini cans. The Mini-4 is something like 2.5" shorter and four ounces lighter than the M4-2000. That's a big deal.

    We shot Pappabears Mini 4, and that thing is pretty nice. I couldn't tell the difference from a full sized silencer when shooting it with no ear pro on. I think he had it mounted to a 14.5"

    Db ratings are meaningless to me. Stand slightly down range of a .223 with a silencer being fired, and you'll find that they are ALL painfully loud.

    That's because it has less back-pressure which makes noise at your ear equivalent or even less than with the full-size.

    Properly regulate the gas-flow and a full-size can begins to show its value.

    Possibly. A real good test we could do is to run the mini on his Bolt gun. It's got a 2000 on it. Eliminate all of the port noise and get a better Idea if we can hear a sound difference.

    You will.

    Why do I say so? I can hear the FRP on my 556-212. That is what, 3-4dB at the most? Easily less difference than between the mini and full-size.

    This was Iraqgunz's M4-2000. It was literally painful to the ears 30 feet out front and to the side of the muzzle.

    It's the sonic crack and all... which the silencer can't do anything about.
