What is the general consensus on this can? I have a bunch of AAC mounts and need a 5.56 can for them. Was looking at the mini4, but it looks like you get more bang for your buck with the 2000....
Anyone know who might have them in stock? Thanks! |

It doesn't get a lot of press now, but they've been out for years and are still known for how well they perform, and at $615 now it's attractively priced for an older can. It's been tested and proven as up until recently, it was basically THE standard for cans. I think it's only suffered a sales hit because they've already sold a ton over the years, and since about the time SiCo hit the street there's been a stead increase in can makers while AAC has kicked itself in the crotch.
The mount is not the latest and greatest and it is known for having a lot of blowback, but it's a solidly performing can, especially at that price. |

I have one, and it works decent. Heavy as hell, and yes the mount sucks, but the can itself works well, and you'll never worry about overheating it short of sustained full auto. If I did it all over again, I would of gotten a Saker. Thank you for all of the replies. Please keep them coming. I have been looking at the Saker, but it's quite a bit more expensive. I already have an SDN-6, so I am aware of the perceived mount issue. I have not had any issues at all with my 51t mounts, but I use them a lot and carbon seems to be your friend regarding these mounts. Actually the M4-2000 is lighter and shorter than the Saker 5.56. Unless you are comparing the Saker K? (which would not be an apples to apples comparison) I had considered a Saker because of the 51t compatibility, but funds are tight right now...I'm certainly not opposed to the Saker Issue is...the M4 -2000 is out of stock most reasonable places. |

While the M4-2k is indeed old news . . . outside of AAC's own old SPR can, what can out there is quieter?
I know everyone wants wiz-bang features like a more scalloped outside and cans that get stuck on, but the M4-2000 IMO is still really the standard for new cans. If you can't lock up better or be quieter than the M4-2k then you should go back to the drawing board. |
| There is nothing wrong with an M4-2000. For nearly a decade it has been the gold standard by which virtually every 5.56 can was measured. Lately, AAC's business shenanigans and some increasingly competent competitors have taken the wind out of its sails, but it is still one of the quietest 5.56 cans you can buy and still very competitive on size and weight. The mount is the worst thing about it, and it's not THAT bad, just bested by more recent developments. |
| I did research for about a month before buying the M4-2000. My Form just got approved this last Monday, so it is still in jail. I was looking at the 556SD, the Saker and a few others. I compared the specs and the M4-2000 weighs less than the Saker and has better noise reduction. The 556SD was appealing, but didn't have as good specs as the M4-2000. Me personally, it is either buying an M4-2000 or taking the step up to a Surefire. I don't have Surefire kind of money, so it is ACC. Now, Silencer Co now has a Blue Label program, so I will be getting a Saker 7.62 only because of the price I get using the Blue Label program. |

I have had one for maybe 8 years.
Overall, great can and given the lowered pricepoint plus my investment in 51th mounts, I would consider buying another one given the recent pricing discount vs. the ~grand I paid years ago. That said, AAC is in the shitter from a CS perspective right now and appears to be continuing to the circle the drain in terms of corporate stability, so I have serious reservations buying another one of their products right now. I keep thinking about pulling the trigger on a Element-2 to replace my Warlock as my pistol based 22lr suppressor, but just cant bring myself to do it thinking that if there is a problem I am probably SOL with AAC for future repairs/support. Nothing wrong with the product itself per-say, but if it were me I would look to another manufacturer that offers a comparable product and is more stable/responsive. |

Quoted:
No reason not to buy the M42k. It is an older can but very reliable and durable. I'd say the Saker K is probably slightly better, but I wouldn't pass on either if I needed something that also took 51T mounts. I've seen this info posted before. Are you saying that an 18T will attach on a 51T? BTW OP, M42k-06' here. Running strong no issues whatsoever. |

595 at SS with the transfer fee covered and it now comes with a mount. I have one in jail along side of a KAC NT4, less than half the price of any KAC/Surefire can. These are well priced at this point.
Cherokee pawn has had the AACmini 4 for 399.00 pretty recently so that's a sweet deal as well. |

Never seem to hear anyone complain about them. Maybe on the louder side. But whatever. Completes my mk18 ;) |

OP, if you want a M4-2K, look at the 556SD. Basically identical specs and about $80 cheaper. I got the impression it was essentially a slightly cheaper to make earlier version of either the M4-1K or M4-2K. Silencer Shop has them on sale for $533.

Quoted:
People overlook the mini-4 because of it's size. If I had a choice between an m4-2000 and a mini-4 it would be the mini every single time. The owner of Unity Tactical (Goteron) has had some VERY favorable remarks regarding the Mini-4. But it IS a mini can and doesn't meter as quiet as other 5.56 cans, even in it's size range.

The very last sentence. "But I wouldn't pass on either if I needed something that also took 51T mounts". I've not done it but like I said previously, this is not the first time I've seen similar info posted. I've got exactly 1 AAC can, everything else I own is SWR. |

Being that Silencer Shop has the Specwar K on sale for $575, it would be hard to pass that up if I were going to get another one. If only my dealer didn't charge $200 for a class 3 transfer. Lol, for that kind of price he wouldn't BE my dealer. I'd drive as far as i needed to to avoid him. Do you have a "Powered By" Silencer Shop dealer in your area? That would mean they can't charge you a transfer fee. |

I didn't have to pay a transfer before because I bought it directly from the dealer. |

When you buy a silencer, you're buying into the customer service and future of that company. How does AAC's customer service and future look to you?
I have an SDN-6 and love it. I was one of the first people to get one. There's no way I would buy one today. The same goes for the M4-2000. In that category, look at the Sandman S and get .30 cal too. |

The surefire is going on my MK18 clone. The M4-2000 will bounce between my other two hosts unless I really love the Surefire. For what its worth. I think the M4-2000 is one hell of a can. Mine has had no easy life and still hasn't crapped out. |
