    I like the Rogers stock. Although is I was to get the 308, I would prefer a fixed stock.

    I have a BCM, and highly recommend them.

    But if you like the Wilson, buy it and enjoy it. There's basically very few "bad" ARs anymore. Even the cheap stuff like S&W & RRA run reliably and dependably, and are more accurate that their users can utilize.

    Buy it, shoot it, and enjoy it.

    ETA: FWIW, an enthusiast's site like this one is the last place to ask "what do you think about brand X?". Most enthusiasts are brand snobs, and think their AR must be able to HAHO into Syria and run 10,000,000 rounds without cleaning. But the reality is that an M&P Sport or RRA would suffice.

    It's a hobby. Buy what you want, what you like, what you'll enjoy.

    I was a bit concerned about this, but the replies have been very objective and informative.

    UPDATE:

    I listed my Wilson EP on a FaceBook 1911 group page, mentioning my desire for an AR. Lo and behold, a young man from Ohio suggested an even trade--my EP for his Wilson Paul Howe, with scope package. I accepted. We both shipped our items yesterday morning, and will have them on Monday. Next on the list is to decide on a suppressor.

    Congrats! Sounds like you both got what you wanted. Enjoy your suppressor search! I have a Surefire 762K and an AAC 762 SDN for my ARs and one thing I've learned early is that suppressor technology/models change frequently and by the time I purchased these, did the paperwork and waited for my stamps to come it, new models were already being announced! Be realistic about what which caliber, which rifles, what purpose, which muzzle device/attachment you want and if it will be adequate without the can, future caliber purchases, which cans may be your second and third purchases down the road and account for the wait time. Keep in mind that 5.56 is still going to be very loud and not safe to shoot without ear pro even with a can.

    Thanks Nevermiss. You have given me much to ponder. I will have to replace the flash suppressor no matter what. I have heard nothing but good about Surefire. I read it requires its own muzzle device. Are tools required to remove them?

    It seems the Wilson can is pretty darn good as well. I need to decide to start the wait.

    I'm not sure which brake you have, but most can be removed/installed with a crescent wrench. Installation varies from manufacturer, but most recommend using a loctite type of compound to keep the brake from rotating and not the use of crush washers if you plan to use a can.

    I prefer the surefire brake compared to various AAC models when not used with a can because it does a pretty decent job of preventing muzzle rise, but it is still not as effective and the many various 3 Gun design brakes which are specifically designed to reduce muzzle rise but cannot accommodate a can.

    Suppressors are a lot like ARs. Most work very well and you probably won't be disappointed if you pick one from any quality manufacturer (SF, AAC, Wilson, Silencer Co, Gemtech, KAC, etc ). You can also look at and compare decibel data to help with your decision, but I doubt you would ever really notice a difference in the field.

    I know that Surefire is known to have less change in the point of impact when shooting with a can and without a can compared to other brands but I have not confirmed this with my own cans. I can tell you that my 762K does have a difference POI of about 1.5" and 100 yards with my LaRue OBR and this is repeatable when removing and reinstalling the can. There is information here on M4C as well as other forums that can help you with your search.

    I can tell you that my favorite pistol to shoot with a can is my HK USP Tactical with an AAC Tirant and my favorite AR is my Noveske 8" 300BLK Subsonic with the 762 SDN, but they are all fun! I am no expert is this field and I'm certain there are many more who can chime in with their experience and opinions too.

    Enjoy your search and make sure to let all your friends shoot it too!

    Thanks again sir. The rifle is built with a flash suppressor "welded" to the barrel. From what I understand, this part may be removed and replaced with whatever brake I should choose based on the can. Now I need to save up some money. It stinks having to buy the thing and wait six months to get it. Oh well.
