    Those with Sbr's and suppressor's

    Im joining the nfa ranks with a kac block 3 sbr tomorrow and was also thinking of getting a suppressor. So my question for those with sbr's is how often do you shoot suppressed vs. unsuppressed? The reason I ask is I'm thinking of going the NT4 triple tap route. But I heard if you plan in running suppressed wait for the mams. I'm sure the mams brake does function well but damn that thing hit every branch on the ugly tree. So if I was going to be suppressed 95% of the time I guess it wouldn't matter too much. Not to mention none of my friends have suppressors so I'll always be stuck wearing hearing protection anyway. Please chime in and let me know how much you run suppressed. Thanks

    My 10.5 is ran suppressed 90% of the time. Mainly because without the can it hurts almost as much for the shooter as it does for the shootee.

    They are loud. Have a KX3 on my 10.5" and it seems to help, for the shooter. ;-)

    Now, the 8" 300BLK that I just bought on the other hand, will rattle your teeth! Might consider buying a 7.62 KX3 until the Surefire cans come out.
    Time flies when you throw your watch.

    I am running an AAC MB on mine instead of a flash hider. It isn't just loud. You feel your bones vibrate. My buddy Stu fired a couple shots and told me to **** off. LOL

    Did he say that because he was jealous or was it really that bad for him? J/k

    Well all kidding aside, they can be pretty obnoxious especially if you are running a brake for a sacrificial baffle. I shoot mine almost always suppressed except for when people want a comparison or to see the pillars of flame from the Brakeout. The suppressor is also great for shooting at night as it gets rid of the giant fireball, and that works out well even though your friends may not have suppressors and you still have to wear ear protection.

    There is a huge difference between muzzel brakes & Flash hiders on SBRs. MB can be bad enough to rattle your bones and make your friends go away. Not to mention how bad it is for you if you are shooting around structures or barricades. I have a couple of SBRs with MB that I will not shoot without a can for this very reason. As for how much I shoot with or without a can. I shoot 75% without a can. I don't like the extra weight/length and I always were hearing protection reguardless. I use a can mostly at night or when I am shooting someplace that I do not want to attract unwanted attention.
    My new favorite can is the Surefire Mini. Light enough and small enough that I don't mind leaving it on. I have a KAC block II SBR, and I shoot it 90% of the time unsupressed. You will love the KAC!

    What do you use for a muzzle brake on your block II? I use a BC 1.0 on my sr 15. I was thinking of moving it too the 11.5 till I decide my route.

    If you are going with the KAC can I would stick with the NT4 flash suppressor.

    I have the TTT on my 10.5. It's coming off my 10.5 and I'm going with the SF FH556-212A instead. The TTT works and it works well for what it was designed for. However, it is painful. The concussion to the shooter is awful. Every time I drop the hammer I literally feel my teeth rattle. I use M193 as my main training round and can tell you that without a doubt, it is the biggest fireball maker I've seen. The heat is intense to say the least.

    I had my brother and friend fire about a dozen mags out of it. They both had the same comment…Are you ****ing crazy!?!

    I will say this though, the TTT kept that muzzle down and straight back. I was able to consistently put 30 rounds down at 50 yards and keep the shots in the "A". With an A2 FH, a little worse.

    The pros that the TTT gave me, as a shooter, were not enough to counter the cons. I think I gave it a fair shake after 2500+ rounds down range. For ME it was just too much concussion and fireball.

    So if I try my bc will that be similar to the ttt? To get an idea of what it would be like? Also once thE suppressor is on does the brake matter then?
