I'm trying to sort as much out as I can before 41f goes into effect. I currently have a Specwar 556, and an Omega. The Omega is currently home on my 11.5 bcm upper. This is my patrol rifle, so length and weight are a big factor. I love how light and fast the gun is with no can. Obviously the Omega is light, but it's still 6.8 inches with the ASR set up. I'd like to get a bit shorter, similar weight, and still be able to shoot it some without permanent hearing loss. The ultimate goal and reason for wanting a can on it is to prevent hearing damage if I do ever have to use it, but it doesn't have to be the quietest can on the market. I'd still plan to use hearing protection most of the time. So....
Price cap is around 1200 or so. Ideally would like to keep the can around 6 inches.
Considerations:
Saker K 556- 14.7 ounces, 5.8 inches, stout build, pricey, modularity is a big plus, favorite so far
Specwar K- 13.7 ounces, 6.2 inches, solid build, great price, not very modular, least favorite so far
Another Omega- run dedicated on this gun with the direct thread configuration, 6.2 inches, under 14 ounces, rockset or something to keep it from backing off. 30 cal is a plus for future use. This would probably be the lightest since no flash hider.
Others? I lean toward silencerco due to the speq program essentially paying for the stamp. I like that all the above options could interchange using the ASR platform, but if I can find something else, I'm not opposed.
Thoughts? I certainly don't need another can, but I want one and this is America....
