Anyone know what Tenebraex caps are used on the mk6? Or what caps are used in general?
Disregard the gun it’s on. I didn’t bring home my mk20 *insert face palm. https://imgur.com/a/eumc9pF |

Which one you choosing? Out of all the stuff clone correct these are it. Well the mk17 is like 90+% because the suppressor isn’t clone correct.

1) Anyone happen to have an OEM FN FDE takeoff grip they'd part with? My 17 came with a Magpul that I would like to return to stock. Would also like 2 more 10 rounders in FDE.
2) Took the 20 out yesterday to zero and see what the newly acquired Surefire does on POI. Getting exactly 1" shift at 100 yards. Attached File |

I find it interesting that SOCOM decided against the MK16, so everyone decided it sucks and not that it was a budgeting issue.
Yet more and more often the pictures I’m seeing of MK17’s in use they all have the MK16 conversion parts installed to run them in 5.56. |

Ammo availability, ie was it forecasted and drawn? Range restrictions ie shoot house may allow 5.56 but not 7.62. Knew of a few ODAs in Afghanistan with the conversions. Never installed in theater, as they ran the 7.62. Rangers are the only ones I saw actually using them in country. What choice did that Ranger have, I don't know. CD |

Semi autos/full autos don’t treat titanium as nicely. Can it be used sure. I don’t rapid fire my shit and mag dump. Do I do quick follow up shots, ya but I don’t think it’s gonna hurt it. There’s a reason why aac has a can that has the word SCAR. It’s for it specifically. Same with the AAC MK13 can. But they don’t make that one anymore. |

Hey all, question for the groupies!
1) is there any way to tell an original 13” 17 barrel vs a cut down? I have to imagine it would be easy to tell with a known 13” original with exact lengths and thread counts etc. but any particular way anyone knows of? 2) 10 surplus mags, one of these is not like the other. Kind of interesting, I personally never saw one factory painted this way. Attached File Attached File |

I think the reason the SCAR 17 (and ruger) are specifically called out is due to barrel profile. Being Ti I don’t think it will do well with extended strings of fire and getting really hot hence it’s recommendation for being used on a bolt gun. I’d bet it will work just fine in a semi precision role. At ~$400 less than a Surefire it’s really tempting. |

Well shit! I wasn’t wanting to buy another suppressor especially for the SCAR but I might have to. I need 2 more .22 cans and an RC2. Shit is tempting and I might pull the trigger on it too.. I currently am using a 300SPS on mine and it’s good but maybe I need to try the mk13 |

I bought it for the 40A5 but i’m awfully curious if I’ll be able to use it on the Mk20 From what I understand the SS will work on both guns however the SV will only work on the scar due to the scar having the ratcheting system on the Flash hider and the SS having the ratcheting system internal to the collar View Quote That is correct. The SS will work on either and the SV will work only on the SV mount. |
