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

Originally Posted By compuvette: 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. View Quote |

Not sure how people get them stuck, I have shot hundreds of rounds in the same session between 3 muzzle devices with no issues.
maybe I just get lucky |

If you like clones, I know most people wished they'd gotten the correct cans later down the road. For what it's worth and who I've talked to.
