I just purchased the Specwar K 556 last week and am excited to try it on the SBR and 16" LW guns. Thanks.
    I've been running the Specwar K on my 10.5" Daniel Defense Mk18, and the Saker K on my 12.5" Noveske for the same reason: weight. I'll happily trade a few dB in sound reduction for a few ounces and inches on a rifle I'm shooting all day at a course...

    Out of curiosity, how much length does the K add to the barrel? When finished the 11.5 will be my go to HD gun so length is of prime concern....

    I didn't notice any on the 10.5" upper. You must remember that I was demonstrating worse case scenario. The cartridges I was shooting were destined for a 20" bbl. Therefore the powder burn rate was not fast enough for the short 7.5" barrel. This is why the can filled with unburnt powder and flashed at the end because the can was so hot the powder hit it's ignition point and flashed.

    And as Nick B stated. This savings in length and weight are worth it for CQB settings. You must remember that the 7.5" config was meant in interior operations at short range since the velocity of the 556 suffers so much with the shorter barrel. The lethality of the round is greatly reduced over distance. However it's damn perfect for a bedside gun.

    Also you could attach the flashhider end cap to negate the flash and you would still be a tad shorter than the Saker.

    What ammo were you using in the video?

    The ATF cashed my check for the Saker K the other day. The planned hosts for it right now are 12.5 and 14.5, and I will get the front cap FH if it is necessary. I'm sure that I will have to try it on everything from 10.3 to 18, so I will probably get the ASR Specwar MAAD mount, rather than change muzzle devices around.

    These Saker K cans are attractive.
    How does the compression mount, POI shift, accuracy and blowback stack up against the competition, namely Surfire and KAC?
    Also, I am curious, does the weight reduction of the K cans come from the shorter length alone or is there some internal redesign as I see both the Saker and Saker K are made of the same materials (same goes for the Specwar/K).
