How would you say the AAC Ranger 2 compares to the M4-2000 mod 8 far as performance? I was thinking I don't really need a QD mount so a thread mound would work and the cost looks very good.

stay with the quick detach for an M4 jack...i would love to own any of the top shelf cans you have listed. My wallet and the crazy offer i got from my class iii buddy put me into a ss phantom that I use on a 12.5"
It's a good robust unit and other than being a boat anchor, I can't complain. If the throw down $$$$ was not an issue, I would pick the SF only to have something different as u see a lot of aac down here.
A buddy of mine has the ranger but i just don't like direct thread on most AR platforms.

Well I only know one person personally who owns a K can. He says the POI shift at 100 yds is less than 1.5" and is repeatable. That seems pretty good. By comaprison, on my 18" Noveske the POI shift with my M42K is 3" at 100 yards and repeatable (I never shoot my 6933 with the can off). Fortunately it's entirely elevation with no windage shift at all, which is easily corrected for.
Perhaps we should request members who own these cans to go out and do some formal bench testing and post pics of targets with both suppressed and unsuppressed groups, with no sighting adjustments?
Well from what I've heard here and on other forums I think I'll go with the AAC M4-2000 mod 8 for my Colt M4 A2 with 14.5" barrel. All that remains now is a 3-4 month waite.
In a few months I should have a Mini and 212, with access to a number of different platforms to try it out on, as well as a M4-2007, and possibly an M4-2008. I'll try to get some decent data, but mind you I will be a sample of but one end user.
I have an NT4, and have heard the other two. The KAC can has a deeper tone to it than the other two, which makes it more pleasant to my ears, despite not doing as well as the others in the "DB rating" category.
I'm sure all three meet the standards in durabilty, but you can really tell that the NT4 is built like a tank. It's a heavy sumbitch!

The AAC (I owned a Mod. 08) can is lighter, and the KAC can has less shift IMO.
They sound almost identical to me, the KAC sounds a little better to me because it's a little deeper.
Decibels don't mean much, except on paper.
We miss you, AC.
