Yeah right next to your CITE for FN dropping AAC....
 
Re: Surefire Cans

Instead of a Surefire can save yourself some money and buy an SPR-M4 or SWR A2-RA the M4-2000 sounds great also.Surefire sounded loud to me,too loud for $1250.00 price tag.
 
Re: Surefire Cans

Again, to answer the original question and to get away from the horseshit about who's dick is longer, bigger, or more diseased, the length required to successfully mount a Surefire can is minimum 3" from the muzzle to the gas block.
The adaptor over the threads and barrel will cover about 2-3/4" and the suppressor nut needs about 1/8" behind the adaptor.

Instruction Manual says:
556AR with 12.5" barrel or longer, must have 2.15" unobstructed barrel behind the threads. Doesn't seem to want the 10" barrel.

556K, any barrel with .170" unobstructed barrel behind the threads
 
Re: Surefire Cans

I didn't meen to start the whole debate, I just wanted to know from those who have them if they liked them or if they wished they would have bought another brand.

I did by a SF FA556AR for less than a SPR/M4. I already have an older M4-2000 so this will make my collection more diverse. If I don't like it, well no biggie, I'll just trow it on the wifes rifle and get something else.

I like the SF cans I've used. AACs work well too. Seems though everyone picks one side or the other and throws stones at the other.

What consequences? SF had thier case dismissed because, and I CITE the JUDGE:

"However, <span style="font-weight: bold">SureFire fails to provide evidence that the advertisement's implicit messages are false</span>."

SF lost...........time and money.........only to be be judged against......



The military was never able to fire a M4 carbine 596 rounds..............Yet SF does 1500.

Thanks for proving my point......

Re: Surefire Cans

The case is not over, and as far as the 1500 rounds they used 3 different weapons w/ the same suppressor! Do yourself a favor and read before you run your mouth! Right now you are really hurting your cause!!! You may even excercise your right to take the 5th as it may be more beneficial for you!!!

Again,


<span style="font-style: italic">Santa Ana, CA – <span style="font-weight: bold">The court denied Surefire’s preliminary injunction motion and silenced its attempt to shoot down Advanced Armament’s silencer advertising.</span>. The court quickly pointed out that the accused advertisement doesn’t make any reference to Surefire and the pictured suppressor is not readily identifiable as a Surefire product. Surefire must be questioning its decision to file a lawsuit that – unlike the advertisement at issue – unequivocally identified its product as the one pictured in the advertisement <span style="font-weight: bold">and brought more attention to it than the advertisement itself</span>. Indeed, <span style="font-weight: bold">Surefire submitted discussions from weapon forums that referenced the lawsuit and the advertisement at issue</span>.

The alleged four false statements at issue were: “(1) the SureFire suppressor shown uses spot welds; (2) SureFire’s spot welds are not as strong as the fusion welds used by AAC; (3) SureFire’s spot welds are likely to fail during normal semi-automatic and full-automatic firings; and (4) AAC’s suppressors are more durable than suppressors like the SureFire suppressor shown.” <span style="font-weight: bold">The court determined that the statements were not literally false on their face </span>or by necessary implication because the suppressor cannot be positively identified as Surefire’s. As a result, the court also found that <span style="text-decoration: underline">Surefire could not evidence actual injury because the non-comparative statements cause injury to all competitors and “none is more likely to suffer from the offending broadcasts than any other.”</span> Thus, <span style="font-weight: bold">Surefire could not show a likelihood of success on the merits </span>or significant hardship if the preliminary injunction was not granted. The case is SureFire, LLC v. Advanced Armament Corp., SACV 08-1405 DOC (C.D. Cal. 2008).</span>


<span style="font-style: italic">Santa Ana, CA – Gun suppressor manufacturer SureFire, LLC filed a false advertising lawsuit, in the Central District of California (Santa Ana Division), against Advanced Armament Corp. (“AAC”), details blogged here. Returning fire, AAC then filed its own false advertising counterclaim (copy available here) alleging that <span style="font-weight: bold">SureFire’s representation that its suppressors could withstand the continuous firing of 1,5000 rounds without failure is false and no tests were conducted to support the statements</span>.</span>



<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">"However, <span style="font-weight: bold">SureFire fails to provide evidence that the advertisement's implicit messages are false</span>."</div></div>
<span style="text-decoration: underline">The case is over...............SF lost. </span>

So you actually belive that the SF is 6X better than the KAC can then as well, bc they talk about how the KAC can is only good for 5K rounds, but the SF is good for 30K.

Re: Surefire Cans

This thread has turned into a big frickin' joke and all because 2 people choose to carry on over a stupid argument. Whining about personal attacks? Threats of lawsuits to prove points? Good lord, let it go-you're not going to change each others minds.

I have Surefire and AAC cans and I like both of them and they do what they were designed for very well. Pick what you like and be happy with it.

As for what the SCAR rifles are coming with I know for a fact that the units that have been getting them so far are coming with AAC suppressors. That's not coming from either of the manufacturers, but instead from end users getting them issued to them. If other units are opting for different suppressors, I don't know-they are both terrific choices regardless.

Be very careful.

Your statement is 100% incorrect. Everything you stated. Cite it or retract it.

We have been and are continuously receiving delivering the muzzle accessories for the SCAR program.
 
Re: Surefire Cans

First off I don't recall saying that any one can is better or worse then the other! Secondly if you do have the contract great; why don't you cite it? Or what? You gonna do the same thing that you were complaining about that SF has done to you??? Go for it! AAC is a great can but it isn't any better. Stop trying to convince others that it is thru.....

You are making statements about AAC and the FN SCAR program that are simply not true..........he's not trying to convince you of anything, he might , imagine this, want you to stop posting lies without proof to back it up.

I have posted the FN catalog with AAC hiders and cans all over it, people in the know have chimed in about them coming with AAC cans, etc......



Vs.



You can't cite anything.



Ok.......

A - If you think my post was directed solely at you, you are sorely mistaken.

I'm sure that there are competent people within the organization who can handle any potential legal issues that may arise on their own-without having some guy on the internet making points or warnings of legal action for them.

C. I'm not taking action for them. I'm simply pointing out that people have been sued for Defamation by making the same exact posts he has made and is making. Ian had to deal with mounting legal costs and a big fat "i'm sorry/ I was wrong" for doing what Turk is doing.


P.S. My uncle's roomate's cousin's aunt told me Nightforce scopes no longer have a NSN# becasue they are made in china with shitty glass. The Military dropped Nightforce......

See how stupid that sounds without me "citing" anything to back up a claim like that.
 
Re: Surefire Cans

When you get a chance from taking a break from being AAC's "Blowup Doll"
take it on the PM side!!! Muzzle accsesories!!! What a F'n joke!!! I showed repeatedly that by AAC's admission the weld's aren't superior! How about an NSN # from AAC on the SCAR? I think that would suffice! Personally I really prefer that you PM me; actually look forward to it! And save those FN catalogs for the next time you are sitting on the Jon!

And just being a casual observer of the whole Ian vs AAC thing - it looks radically different than Ian was forced to make an apolgy. That may have been part of the terms, but from the outside looking in, it certainly isn't indicative of a clear cut victory for AAC.

Silencers, flash hiders, etc. Sorry, I thought you guys would get it...I was not trying to be elusive.

NSN's are probably on our website or through a Google search. There are NSN's for the SCAR-L and SCAR-H silencers.

We were doing this before they were making silencers...you know, when Barry was still working for OPS. OPS and other companies have always used this method for venting OTB silencers...we probably did it first for muzzle mounted ones.

Re: Surefire Cans

I have no beef w/ AAC! FWIW AAC always had great customer service! They even in the past helped me w/ my SF problem! Up untill recently SF customer service wasn't so hot. Even now Howard Feng is the only one that you can talk to there! It is well known that AAC has been in business longer, and until a few years ago had somewhat of a relationship w/ the guys at SF. I guess time changes things!
 
Re: Surefire Cans

Thanks for the lead, but I noticed IBA's pricing was a bit high, and I'm in no particular hurry.

I did, however, get a PM from another member saying Leif at Larsen's Firearms in WA had some in stock, and I sent off a check Thursday for several hundred less than IBA's posted price. We'll see how it goes.

After firing this model on a 7.62, and an OpsInc in 5.56 over in Iraq, I'm looking forward to accumulating a few suppressors (this will be the first).

What a surprise.


Back when I started looking at supressors, AAC's behavior convinced me to never buy one of their products. Appears I made the correct choice, wouldn't want my dollars to support this type of crap.

Sure thing. I am not sure if you called or looked at the price on the site. I as well got mine for many less as well. Just call Abby and talk to her. They are friendly and will help out.

All things being said here, you ultimately get what you pay for. I feel the SF concept in whole is great and I am willing to spend more bucks. I did the same with my rifle with the SF muzzel brake and I am very glad I did. It's a great package.
