    They have pulled the product listing from their site and are notifying dealers.

    LOL at "production issues". It's an M4-2000 they have had since about 2007 minus the most complicated part (the mount).

    **** them. This is just another example that AAC is dead, the remnants and future products are going to be cost-cut versions of everything else out there. I'll wait until SHOT for a dedicated 556 can, I'll be stunned Griffen is actually the best out there for this niche. SIG looks like the most likely company to put out a Ranger3-alternative right now.

    I would like to propose that, from this day forth, AAC be referred to as "Corporate Armament." All in favor?
    I'll add to that... Consolidated Corporate Armament.

It was one of the longer models and, at least with that amount of wear and increase in baffle aperture diameter, it was louder than a Ranger 2 as well as being the same overall length past the muzzle and about 5+ oz heavier.

    Right now, the Saker K with thread-on adapter for 16" rifle and quick attach setup for a future 10.5" upper are my plan.
    The Spartan 3 does have an inconel baffle.
