    This coming from a man that makes a living makiing and selling cans. :-)

    I would choose the can myself.

    I want to go off-topic for just a moment to address something:

    However, one could argue that the AK105 is the best AK platform ever, which would mean SBR.

    I am a fan of the AK platform myself, and own and shoot two 12.5" guns in AK-102 and AK-105 clone configurations. I agree subjectively that this is the best configuration - do either of you have any empirical data on this or is it just your opinions as well? With the middys there is a wealth of data concerting dwell times and pressure curves all all of the other stuff that one can measure. Do either of you have similar data for the AK-105 platform?

    BTW very nice conversion rsilvers. Is that a Ted Marshall build?

    No, just opinion.

    If I had to give up either my SBRs or my CAN, I'd keep the CAN!!!

    I don't mind running my can on non NFA barrel lengths at all. In fact, I don't run my can on my SBRs... EVER.

    I'm getting a .30 caliber can first and an SBR later, much later

    sbr.

    no doubt about it.


    shortening a carbine makes it more usable.

    Sound suppression is NICE, but also makes the carbine heavier and longer.

    The sbr will make you a faster, more maneuverable fighter.

    SBR. Because eventually you WILL want a can for it. And then you'll have both.

    The excitement factor on getting a can was 10 times higher than getting an SBR for me.
