That's a killer deal! I'm leaning towards the Griffin M4SD-K because it attaches to a standard A2. The clone Gods will curse me I know......

The Surefire or Griffin?

I think you'll kick yourself not buying the correct can if you're buying all the other correct parts as is.
That's my opinion at least. |

Like I've said a quadrillion times now, If you buy the wrong part, no matter what it is, you're going to spend twice as much in the end. Because you will hate your clone incorrect existance, and still end up buying the correct part anyways. |

true. I like my SF SOCOM but I still wish I had gone with an NT4. Definitely won't make that mistake with my HK416 clone. Get the right parts now, and you can save a bunch...or build another clone lol.

Yeah, go with the SOCOM deal IMO. I mean, I've got a 762-MINI SOCOM RC...the only noticeable differences being the bore diameter, the missing NSN, and the slightly louder noise...but I'm still tempted by this deal, because it's soo affordable, and it's mo betta in view of the Almighty I'm saving up right now for an AEM5 for my Mk12 stuff, so those funds are sorta locked - otherwise, I might be buying the 556 SOCOM RC right meow, as you all should be!

You bought rubberfuckingbands while your old lady is being plowed by her brother?....

You guys are right, and make great arguments....but FML that means buying three Surefire FH to run the SOCOM on all my AR's. Any reason why running a SOCOM SB on my MK18 isn't kosher?

View Quote It's not kosher because it's not what is issued, but considering the 4P is a hard to find part and people have strong stances on brakes/suppressors lifetime you won't catch flak. And if you're talking about an actual MK18 they didn't use brakes either. It would most likely only be an NT4 suppressor FH or the 4P. |

Cheese, most if not all Mk18's I've seen pics of had the KAC M4QD. And incase you're referring to the block 1 CQBR as a Mk18, we've seen these with M4QD, SF4P, and 249F. And incase you're referring to a block II CQBR as a Mk18, these have mostly been seen with SF4P, and M4QD. |

Ok so brass tax, what are the only "clone" worthy suppressors? You guys are confusing me.....which isn't hard to do btw.

Got it....any major differences between the Surefire RC and RC 2?
|
|
|
One has stronger welding. The SOCOM 2 isn't out yet either and isn't an issued (again if you want to clone).

The only drawback is the proprietary taper mount, but he said the lock up and design is GTG. |

I'm sure the RC2 will eventually be in use, but until then, they don't call it a clone for nothin' |

I went with AAC Ti-Rant for my new FNH FXH 45 TACTICAL and I hoping that I get a call in the next month or two to come pick it up and bring my 2nd. silencer home. 1st. was two months ago SF SOCOM RC 5.56MM. And next will be a 9mm for my US NAVY SEALS Sig MK25. I own a Blk and FDE Version and one threaded barrel.

Soooo I did a bad thing and built block 2.5 or 3.... I forgot how hot these fuckers get. Now I'm kicking myself for not having gone w/ a mk18 risII rail (I couldn't find any.)
Does the mk18 ris get too hot to hold quickly? I know they all do at some point I just feel like w/ the geissele rail it got hot quick. I also have a metal laden support hand that may have been acting like a heat sink though. |

I think I have an SU230 on the way. Now to decide what to do with my "civie" Elcan SpecterDR. Bought the "civie" to replace the Eotech, and was going to use the EO on the 300blk (10.3 DD/RisII), but now I can't decide to use the Eotech or the Elcan civie on it. Damn the bad luck!
