I will definitely end up with multiple cans, knowing my impulsivity, but don't want more than 1 suppressor in each caliber 556, 762, 9,45. Things would get outta hand quick if I started buying multiples. Although an nt4 and sb would make the perfect pair. Then it'll be "oh, I may as well build a mk12 and get an aem5 while I'm at it.
That's what I'm afraid of.

Socom sb pros:
1.) lower back pressure.
2.) improved mounting
3.) cheaper
4.) I love to giggle like a little girl

socom sb cons:
1.) not an nt4
2.) not a socom rc
3.) only partial credit for clone correctness
4.) none I can think of

nt4 pros:
1.) it's an nt4
2.) I already have 3 mounts.
3.) its an nt4
4.) Its correct clone wise.

nt4 cons:
1.) price
2.) availability can be hit or miss. Get one when you can find it.
3.) longer?
4.) slightly heavier? Can't remember if they ended up being really close with mounts added.

well, it seems that however awesome the nt4 is, it'd mostly be an impulse buy based on it being an nt4. The sb, while not technically correct, is damn close enough, and will be cheaper and easier on my rifles. Now that I think I have my mind made up, watch em be out of stock

I'm about %90 sure im going with an NT4 at this point. The durability, "lower tone", and lower chance of getting stuck were the selling points for me

Will probably get an RC2 at some point, but the NT4 is calling my name

friend got his rc2 stuck on my mk18 upper today, had to shoot it off with the collar loose.

it landed in a pile of coyote shit and got inside the can.

i dont want to be there when he shoots it again.

Damn., that's makin my brain hurt. I think I know what I want, then I go back and look at the ad for the taupe nt4, and then this!  Damn! Man, nfa sucks.  If it weren't for the year long commitment, and yellow tape and paper work, it'd be a way easier decision. I feel like no matter what I commit to, while impatiently waiting, I'll prob purchase the other as well. But I think that's a safe bet. I don't see myself ever regretting the nt4, crept for the $. They say buy once cry once, well, in the clone world that's like every purchase.

That's great. Anyone have issues with the nt4 gate latch system? Does that one commonly get gummed up? I know it's a common suppressor issue, but comparatively, which is less troublesome in that regard?

Among my selection of cans I have five various Surefire SOCOM’s.  I’ve yet to get one stuck.  I think my trick is not moving hot cans between rifles.  Only time I’ve seen it happen was a buddy moved his Omega from his AR10 to a bolt gun after it was hot.  Required some serious wrenching and a vice on the muzzle device to get it loose....

Also, Dyz, I don’t have an NT4 but I do have a Griffin M4SDK.  It’s mount system design is suspiciously close to the NT4.  Based on it and playing with an NT4 on an SOT buddies rifle I think it would take a tremendous amount of carbon to make it stick.  There is a decent amount of play in both mounts though.  SOCOM mounts up tight.

Since we’re posting pics of our can collections...

That's impressive. And it's grown? I agree, the m4sd design is reminiscent of the nt4. I always thought there was a resemblance. That's about the closest lookalike there is.

It’s grown a little since that pic.  I can honestly say the M4SDK is a great “general purpose” can.  I love it on my Mk18.  Using a Griffin single port brake (for a more consistent mount than an A2) I’ve had good repeatability.  The mount really does work well but it’s got a LOT more movement than I’d like.  The Surefires lock up solid.  No rotation or wobble at all.  The Surefires have lower back pressure than anything else I’ve got and the repeatability is awesome.  Honestly I use the Mini’s more than any other rifle can.  Nice and short, plus they take the bite out of SBR’s.  I can just wear plugs and be totally comfortable.

If I could only have one of my 556 cans I’d have a Surefire Mini.  I know it’s not clone correct but it does everything I want it to do.

The NT4 carbon build up is between the flash hider and can, not the gate.



The SF cans I have, have never needed to be shot off. But I've yet to shoot with someone with a SOCOM that I couldn't remove it by just having the gun between my legs and wiggling the can off. I've done it both hot and cold to see if makes a huge difference.

Surefire (This had like a couple ounces of carbon build up on it)


NT4


Brand new weight:


Like 15-20K rounds

Solid info ECP.  I guess I should have clarified on the Griffin.  Same thing.  The carbon builds up on the mount and against the can.  No buildup around the latch.  Interesting to see the NT4 and the SOCOM are so close in weight.

That's the weight comparison I remembered. A fouled Surefire plus mount is close to the new nt4 plus mount. I would venture to say most issues with stuck cans is related to swapping hosts while in use. Different metals at different temps expanding and contracting at different intervals is askin for a stuck can. Weight isn't a huge issue for me (if it were I picked the wrong rifle to clone) so what it really comes down to is do I want to pay more for a Kac product (I would) or should I go cheaper and not be as concerned with correctness with the socom sb. Either way I'll be ecstatic just to be in the process of gettin one. I spent a lot of effort researching form 1 suppressors a while back and almost went through with it till I did all the math. To build a good one, you may as well go with an AAC m4 2000 or equivalent price. Just a little more and yer in the Surefire sale price range. I may revisit form 1 again down the line. There is one company that produces excellent quality components in titanium, stainless, and aluminum.

Same, I've used the same can between 2 different rifles, and never had it stick. Granted both were using SF4P's, so I dunno if that has anything to do with it?

Let's just say there's a reason 3 of my rifles are outfitted with the qdss. I've been lookin at for some time now, and I'm finally in a position to move some things around and make it happen. Plus if it's like everything else, I'm sure I'll be getting more cans once I get over the initial purchase. My block 1 and block 2 are beggin for an nt4. And since I built them with that suppressor in mind, it's really a no brainer.   Thanks for the info.

Oh snap, you got it! Did you swap out the qrp for the Kac? Looks good. Those Kac mounts are pretty sharp lookin.  I thought it looked pretty mean with the qrp too. The combo I've got comin has the optic (2moa comp m3) on a twist mount, the manifyer is in a pvs14 mount, and they are both mounted on an lt-110.  But honestly Id like to have the larue fts mount for the 3x. Looks  like I'll have an extra Ecos-c for ole' milspecs 552.

Yep I got it today. The QRP might be more cLoNe, but... KAC. Lol.

I thought I was getting an M2, like what the ad said. But it’s really a ML3. Not real happy about that, like come on you don’t even know what you’re selling? He offered to swap it for an M2 he supposedly has but I’m not waiting for it, especially since he was so damn slow shipping in the first place. I’ll just use it I guess. Looks the same, works the same except for NV compatibility. Oh well.

I fell for the meme and got a Gas Buster in FDE. I like it. I think all the M84s I've ever seen on Mod 1s are black. Do I shame family with my incorrectness, or do I enjoy my nice tan charging handle with confidence?

Enjoy it as there are many rattle canned M84s.

I'm at a struggle between being correct and cost efficiency. I'm sure the answer is USGI but I want something more legit then that, given I'd like to prepare for a can despite Illinois not allowing them.

I get discounts with Geissele but don't want to stray this block ii build too far into the future...

Once the URGI's get more into the system this fall, there will be cross pollination as with any procured parts/systems  Now if you want to clone a specified year/event then go with either USGI or PRI.

Well, holy fuck! My stamp for the RC came in today :D!!



My FFL/SOT tried to give me a heart attack with the subject line, "Dude, you got denied!" :\.

I'm going to try and pick it up tomorrow or Wednesday. Hopefully, that means the CQBR Form 1 is already approved or I can get it approved very soon by applying this background check approval to it. About fuckin' time! Woot!

When you go pick it up, study some part of it very closely and ask him if this is right. Get him to look at it real close, then whack him right in the dome with it and say "don't ever fuck around with my NFA shit"

Haha, no doubt. Ain't no room for jokey joke man after a 307 day wait :\.

I just hope the F1 is soon to follow - CQBR wants a SOPMOD or Colt N1 to go with the RC :D.

You will want a PRI. The day will come when you can’t get a round out of the chamber. You will have to mortar it on cement. The stock latch will make this VERY difficult. With an extended latch like the PRI it will most likely work on the first slam. USGI with gloves on, not so much.

In addition to that a PRI with RTV is much easier to shoot quick without gas in your eyes.
