Hi guys. After reading a lot of threads here and elsewhere, I'm leaning towards purchasing an AAC 762-SD. I will explain my reasoning and ask your opinions on my choice and thought process. I'm also looking for a good deal on one, so if you know who has them in stock (new) or has one for sale (used) I would appreciate the heads up. And Yes, I know how and have used the search function and read up on many of the AAC discussions on this and other boards.
USE:
I plan on using the can in 4 configurations. Most importantly will be with a .300 whisper upper. Second will be with my LMT MRP in 5.56. Third will be with the MRP using a .22 conversion. And Fourth will be on a DPMS SASS .308 that I am planning to buy in the (near?) future. Any heads up on a good SASS deal would be appreciated as well.
(Added edit during pre-post read over- The above paragraph highlights to me the fact that I will be using 3 barrels and 4 calibers and thus, perhaps the advantages of the adjustable POI miter system would be worth the extra money and the the cost and hassle of re-threading my AR barrel. Hmm... know I'm even closer to the line between the 762-SD and the SCAR-H)
REASONING:
Obviously I need a can that will work with the biggest round I plan on using which means .30 cal. Because of the 3 barrels that I'll be switching between, I figured that a QD mount would be important, and of the quick detach suppressors I've researched, the AAC 762-SD seemed to be well favored and reviewed. (and yes, I got the subtle hint that I should

The reason I didn't choose the Scar-H, though I like the idea of being able to tune the POI shift and the greater volume w/ less overall length increase, is because of the hassles I might run into trying to get the mounts for it on the three barrels. If I ever wanted to say thread a 10/22 barrel for it, it would be much easier with the standard mount than one that goes over the barrel and thus limits the barrel diameter. Though I would almost like to be convinced to go with the SCAR-H as I only reluctantly decided to go with the 762-SD because of this ease of threading for future barrels and the cost savings. Also, I plan on going with the muzzle break mounts because I don't want the tuning fork ring associated with the Blackout mounts. (Do they make a muzzle break model for the SCAR-H? as opposed to the flash-hider mount?) The other 762-SD advantage is that I can buy mounts for both the m4-1000 and the 762-SD and not have to re-thread my MRP, whereas if I went with the SCAR-H I would have to re-thread my MRP to accept the SCAR-H's threads because the SPR/M4 mount is not officially compatible.
So for my purposes would you guys also go with the 762-SD or would another option come to mind? Your thoughts are welcome. Is there an accuracy/consistency advantage between the two silencers?
My best quote so far for a 762-SD with 3 muzzle breaks (not flash hiders) is $1,200. Do you think I could do better? Do you guys know anyone who might be interested in trading a suppressor for firearms? I have a few for sale, but a direct trade might be simpler if I could find an interested party.
Thanks for your input.
