    The 30 cal AAC can and maybe the Gemtech Sandstorm once? But yeah... cans that are generally too big/unwieldy to run on an AR on a regular basis... we kinda tried them out here and there.

    We've run over bored cans on a few set ups. Performance differences in gas volume, etc have been negligible. i.e. a 30 cal can on an AR-15 still adds gas and bolt speed, and doesn't seem to run significantly smoother/require a different port size etc. to optimize the configuration.

    All in all. I definitely like an over bore can in almost every application because there's a little less back pressure/gas in the face, AND you get some margin for error if a bad round/bullet tries to hit your baffles/cap.
    Odd. My socom 762rc is WAY less gassy than my socom mini 556. As in, massively so. World changing so.

    I think I've only fired one SF can. But it makes sense. My mini can appreciation is based on comparison with full size cans also in 5.56. I've never pro actively swapped out a 30 cal vs. the Mini for gas comparison. I might try it next time Pappabear has the Mini 4 out to shoot.

    It was literally so night and day that it led me to buy a KAC QDC because I cannot bare to stick that damn mini on a gun. It's absurd. I have also heard from many people that the mini has more backpressure than the SOCOM, even same-caliber 556 bore.
