Hi all,

Am going to be diving into the NFA game for the first time, and I would love some opinions on what are the best cans to buy for 5.56 and 7.62 ARs.

My priorities are light weight, maneuverability, and low gas blowback. Sound suppression is, obviously, also a concern at the ear specifically, but secondary to maneuverability and minimal blowback. I'm not opposed to direct thread cans, as each can will likely remain with its host.

I've been pondering the offerings from Thermal Defense and OSS, but am also contemplating the Dead Air Nomad Ti for it's light weight. Have no idea what any of these cans are like at the ear, and whether the Nomad is any good as far as blowback goes.

Thank you for your input.
