Surefire did say the 3P is stronger and that's supposed to be the reason (at least one reason) why we get it instead of the 4P. Not sure how much stock I put in that, but it is what it is I guess. Can't wait to see the VCOG'd Block II. |

Yeah. It does make sense from an engineering/structural standpoint. That's what I thought.
I'll get pics up of the VCOG'd Block II this weekend. The 3P won't be installed yet though, as my RC hasn't even had the Form 3 approved yet to even make its way to my dealer and start the real waiting process. Interested to try the new FDE cerakoted PRI with my current M4-2000 though. |

I think I know the answer but wanted to check: any other cans used on Mk 18 (mod 0) than NT4?
I want to get an NT4 but kind of worried they'll stop making them by the time I have the funds. |

How do you like that grip? I've been thinking about getting one. I can't say for sure yet as I don't have enough rounds down range with it, but so far it seems pretty great. I was using vertical grips before, but I never really gripped around them, I more or less used them as a hand stop and grip around the rail. I tried the AFG for awhile but it's a pretty meaty add on. The grip stop seemed to be a nice low-profile solution that still gives me something to grab on to but doesn't take up a ton of real estate or stick out super far. That said, you're basically just grabbing around the rail (in my case grabbing around the rail + PEQ), so if you hold the gun like I do (stock in chest, fully compressed) your wrist is at a super harsh angle. I'm 6'5" so I can't do that weird Chris Costa grip thing, especially with an SBR. I've noticed already that my wrist can start hurting after awhile from being bent so far. But I'll keep it on for awhile and see if things improve. It's machined really nicely and it's high quality. I especially like the little ridges it has which they market as being good for pushing in to barriers. I haven't had to do this yet but I can totally see that it would work really well and totally would "bite" into most barriers vs something like an AFG which would just be resting on it. |

Kind of curious that people subjectively review the NT4 + FH as a hog when the difference between it and the RC + FH appears to be 3oz and change.
