This will be my first venture into the NFA world. I am looking for an entry level can and am on a budget, if you will.
Right now, I am looking hard at the YHM Phantom QD and Huntertown Arms Kestrel. I know Huntertown Arms has had some negative reviews here, but I want to know how well it will stack up against something like the YHM CMV QD model. I like that the YHM has the mounts I can leave on the weapons, however if the Kestrel is a better can overall, I will go that route instead. The can will spend most of its life on a 10.5'' AR and will probably make it over to a 16'' every now and then.
I have looked at the SilencerCo SpecWar 5.56 as well, but it's a little out of my range at the moment. I know the NFA world isn't cheap, but is this can REALLY worth it over the YHM?
