    The only time I run my SBRs without a can is when someone askes to hear them without.

    All suppressed all the time.

    Just fyi, my friend has a sbr (10.5 HK416 upper) and he got a Surefire Mini. Sound reduction is not very good at all in my opinion compared to a regular size AAC (mine, M4-2k) and KAC (another friend's can, QDSS NT4), and it still has quite a fireball out the front. We tried it on a 16" barrel and results were much better. Just my two cents but I'd say get a regular can, it works better on a 10.5".

    My local dealer just talked me into a 7.62 can from AAC saying you can fire 5.56 and .308 through it. I guess performances suffers only a little when firing 5.56. I'm pretty sold on all that versatility.

    No 'free lunch' with mini cans... they are still quite loud. That said, for the size and weight, the sound/concussion versus unsuppressed is still improved.

    I prefer the full-size performance and will deal with the extra inch or two and handful of ounces.

    I must say, I love 10.5"-11.5" SBR's with the option of a suppressor.

    An 11.5" rifle to me, feels pretty much perfect for maneuverability, balance, weight, and fun. In the 1:1,000,000,000,000 chance I ever have to use it in defense instead of the pistol that's always with me...I know it'll do that well also.

    The suppressors I buy are pretty much for shits n' giggles...and so far, they still make me smile.

    If NFA stuff didn't have any restrictions or costs...I don't see why any civilian would want a rifle barreled over 12 inches unless it's for long range shooting. For a civilian, what's the point of a 16" AR15 other than avoiding the NFA hassle?

    I run the PWS KAC556 brake on my SCAR SBR, and with M855 it will put fire more than a foot out each side and clear the line of shooters until I put the can on or leave. The can stays on most of the time.

    I'm glad I made this thread. It definetly has swayed me. I can say I will not be getting a 3t or full on brake and definetly will be suppressing. Most likely it will be the AAC 762sdn or whatever it's called. And from what I'm hearing in here it will be mounted all the time. Thanks everyone.

    About 4 months ago I bought a 10.5" Noveske w/SB and it finally came in last week. I finally got the chance to go take a look at it and put my mitts all over it yesterday. Only thing I can say is "unbelievable". Compared to my 14.5" BCM it feels like driving a sports car compared to my 2500HD diesel. So much smaller and svelt feeling. There really is no comparison. The worst part about this process is waiting. I know you said you have nothing but time SHIVAN but the next 4-6 months are going to kill me.

    Oh and by the way I went the SBR route because I wanted to and have no real operational need for it. This purchase was purely a big WANT and not a need.

    First time NFA? If so, I hated it just as much as you. I've done the ATF clusterscrew of a process no fewer than 15 times now, maybe more.

    After that first one, it's has become a completely passive activity for me. Send it and forget it.

    The hardest one was when I bought an M16. That was torture knowing that I had 10,000 tied up, and it was going to be 3 months, or more, until I got to shoot it.

    That would hurt even more. Send it and forget it was easy for the Suppressor. After getting the Noveske in my hands this will be a bit more difficult. Nothing I can do about it but wait, so no need to get worked up about it.
