Extremely quiet and durable, but there's better mounts. I don't see any reason to buy one when there's cans like the Recce 5 that slightly edge out the M4-2000 in every category. Length, weight, mount, etc.

The NT4's you bought are louder and have more mount to can interface play... You'll be fine with the 51T mounts.

Still a great can, and I have the earlier Mod 07 ones.
Wish I had picked up a Mod 08 and Mini 4 before 41F. The latch interface isn't the best but still get the job done. From what I've read so far AAC has their shit together when it comes to CS and if the latch wears out they'll replace it. |

I've beat the piss out of mine. Front blast baffle looks rough, but I have 8k plus through it. While inot a big fan of mount or lever, both have held up for me since 2011.

What is the pricing like? Didn't some AAC cans come up in the deals list yesterday?
There is a big thread on "what's the best mount" in the last week, and AAC didn't win the contest but was fine. |

They special ordered one for someone and then the deal fell through and it was gathering dust in the back.

For that much yes, I would say it is worth any limitations the older mount design has. |

Still after all these years it's one of the best 5.56 cans and if you can get one at $500 FO hard. Great sounding can and very durable.

If you thought that the nt4 was worth ordering than the m4-2000 will blow your mind. That being said there are far lighter, shorter, and better made cans out there that come damn close to the m4-2Ks performance all while having a better mounting system.

Folks like brad were calling in from out of state to get in on the deal. They called my house the next day and said they would make it up to me with a smashing deal on something, but when I went shopping for an Omega 9K this spring I couldn't remember who I talked to.

I'm pretty sure the Specwar556 has it beat in size/weight, db, etc.. And for damn sure the ASR mount is better.
If its on a great promo, do it. I promo'd out my last one because I'm trying to ditch all my AAC stuff, it made a great deal for a guy who was going to marry it to a single gun. |

The M4-2000 was my first can and I still love it. I've never had problems with it or the mount. Sample size of one but I'd have no problem recommending it to somebody, especially for that price.

The KAC NT4 has "play" that makes the 51Ts seem like the tightest fit in the industry, and no one ever acts like it's a negative impact on the NT4s. It's as if it's become cool for some around here to just rag on the 51T mounts and cans, even if they've never owned one (I realize you in particular do), despite the fact that the AAC 51T cans have one of the longest and strongest track records in the industry. And I also know that if one of the uncommon issues does ever occur with your 51T can, that AAC will swiftly take care of it. No system is flawless, and immune to potential problems. I know that as well. But stay on your condescending high horse. You can save that kinda talk for someone else next time. People here hate objective facts sooooo much when they own a silencer. I didn't complain about AAC's customer service, I pointed out conditions which are inherent to the design of the suppressor. You just made the ignore list, "bud." |

Just that GP gave a good argument for what was "wrong" about the 51t and that there was no need to get offended by it. I suppose he could of worded more kindly though. Either way I would hate for this thread to become derailed. I think the M4-2000 is still a great can with it's weakest component being the mount. It led the industry for quite a long time for a hard use can. |

And essentially, the guy who told me what is "wrong" with the 51T felt the need to be rude and condescending about it. And then when his comments were countered with other objective facts, he didn't want to hear them.

I used a M4-2000 a few times a couple years ago on my precision AR. Great sounding can.
I do remember not liking the 51T mount, which is the reason why I went with another brand. Reason why I didn't like it, was that there was some slight rotational play to it when mounted normally. This affected accuracy. It took a rifle that was shooting Sub-MOA to about 1.5 MOA with the same loads. I also remember, that I could crank on the can, and basically cam it against the next tooth. This eliminated the rotational play, and corresponding accuracy issues, but the can would eventually "shoot loose" from it's cammed position against the next tooth, and returned to having slight rotational play. On most carbines, SBRs, etc. it wouldn't matter, but since I was looking at putting it on a precision rifle, I didn't like that. I've never used an NT4 can and if it has that same play, I would pass on that as well. |
