Let's talk suppressors...

You should really measure from the end of the bbl, Company's Flask Hider differ in size. You have to see the added length of the system as a whole, leaving the vaibles out.

Exactly.

I like the first comment Rob made regarding what he won't accept in a suppressor- the tactics the company used at any time to promote or push their products forward.

I'm not basing this on rumor- I'm basing this on private emails and messages that went between a major promoter of a somewhat 'major' company and myself.

A little heavy and a little louder but damn great suppressors.

A couple of members of this board told me that they've heard the Surefire FA556K and the KAC M4QD side by side. Both were on 10.5" barrels, the Surefire was on a HK416 and the KAC was on a MK18. They said that they sounded the same.

I also have a M4QD NT-4 on the way. KAC said that the newer NT-4 model has twice the service life of the older M4QD. They won't disclose what they changed in the NT-4 model.

The action noise on an AR is pretty loud using hot ammo.

The major makers are all very close to one another in terms of sound suppression of the rounds fired.

QD; isn't. Well, maybe before you've fired 30rds it's worth something....

If you are looking at major players in the suppressor world, then you just need to "throw a dart" and buy it.

I don't much care for how AAC comes across on the internet, but they make a really nice can in the M4-1000. Which is basically an older M4-2000 with a little less durable construction. From what I understand, that would only be noticed in full auto shooting.

I really like my YHM .308 Phantoms, but I'm not sure that experience ports over to their 5.56 cans.

I really love SWR's friendliness and service, so I would consider their Spec-War2. Even though it doesn't test as well as the YHM and AAC.

I like the track record of the Ops, Inc stuff in harm's way -- probably can't go wrong there.
