Anybody have experience with Griffin Armament cans? How about Silencerco?
Looking at doing a M4 blk 2 style recce build w/ a few changes(eg: probably gonna go with a Centurion E-SOCOM mid gas barrel or Criterion Hybrid) and on a budget, and I'm wondering what can yall would recommend in the 500-700$ range? I'd get the Surefire if I could afford it but its a good bit outside my ability to afford it...

I have a RECCE 7 and run it on my 6.5
AR10 and a couple of AR15 never an issue, taper mount system is positive just keep the anti seize on hand.

Pre-covid Aero receiver set, 15" CMT rail, Atlas CAL w/ Area 419 clamp, SF3P, 16" BCM CHF barrel with BCM midlength gas, BCM BCG, BCM Mod4 CH, SSA-E and Arken SH4 4-16
I have a 16" BA Premium Fluted coming in the mail for it. I have only function tested it with the BCM barrel so I'm not sure what it does accuracy-wise. I got the BA barrel for a good deal and I figure it should be geared more toward accuracy than the BCM barrel.

Another MSTN 16" Recce with Proof CF barrel. These rifles weigh in at just 6 LB 4 OZ. Attached is a photo of a five-shot group my identical rifle produced with just at 8X scope - at 200 yards.
I just finished my Taiwanese T65 clone build today, and it looks great! All of the parts on this rifle are original T65 take-offs, except for the lower receiver, barrel and maybe a few small parts. The T65's are very interesting rifles, and they actually use a piston system instead of gas impingement. It's a pretty cool 1970's vintage clone rifle!
And just for fun I swapped the flash hider out with an original Colt XM177E2 moderator to see what it would look like:

Very interesting.. and news to me. Apparently(for at least certain applications) DEVGRU has gone to Noveske 10.5" uppers over the 416D's they usually/used to run. Somewhat old news, but like I said its the first Im hearing about it...
And get this - Stainless steel barrels! Very interesting... have to wonder what ammo they prefer when using live rounds..

It's all done except for the lower receiver change once the Geissele gets here. These weren't the final assembly pictures, so the scope still wasn't leveled, gas block and tube weren't installed and the Surefire wasn't timed. It's all set and ready to go now though. In the pictures it looks kind of bronze/orange. I assure you in person it's a very "red clay" type of brown.
Surefire 3 Prong Warcomp
BA Premium Fluted 16" barrel w/ crosspinned gas block
Bootleg Midlength gas tube
Cross Machine 15" HDM rail
Atlas CAL w/ Area 419 clamp and Hawk Hill Talons
True North hand stop
BCM upper
BCM BCG
BCM Mod3 CH
Arken SH4 Gen2 4-16
Geissele Super Duty Lower
Geissele SSA-E
Various other Geissele lower parts
B5 SOPMOD stock
It still needs an offset RDS and a flashlight before I'll call it "complete". One day, maybe an RC2 and a Nightforce

Bcamos that is a different looking color combo and I am really digging it!! Cool build!
CZ should have had Colt bring these back to the market as a sign of the new Colt. This and the M5 to move forward and build a better reputation.
Lightweight-ish

Still waiting on the Geissele lower to show up. Got this thing mostly zerod and ringing steel out to 300yds. I’m still under 100rds total on this barrel so I haven’t given too much attention to accuracy yet.
My first AR. Nothing too crazy. A DB15 with Aimpoint ACRO and Infitech flow suppressor.
As some of you may remember, I had a pretty spicy encounter a while ago. Three men jumped my fence and broke into my home by shooting a 9mm through my front door. I had never thought to keep a rifle as a primary self defense weapon but circumstances changed my mind. My son is attached to Naval Land Warfare on the West coast (int officer). He got me shooting his old Daniel Defense Mark 18 with a pretty basic setup. I put close to 12k rounds through it over the last year or so and all the while was ordering parts, waiting on the ATF to approve things, ect.
I ended up buying a HK 416 upper from a Florida police department. I got an adjustable HK gas block from Atlantic Firearms. The upper came with the HK quad pic rail and iron sites. I paired it with the Daniel lower which was already registered as a SBR. The trigger is a Geissele SSA-E. We pulled the buffer tube and installed the VLTOR kit with the H2 weight buffer. The stock is my favorite Magpul, the sling is the Vickers by Blue Force Gear. After messing with a bunch of optics, my favorite is the EOTECH. The longest wait item was the HUX flow thru can.
It is heavier than the MK18 with a T1 on it but it shoots significantly better (or maybe I shoot it better). This setup is the softest shooting SBR I have ever handled and between the flow thru can and the short stroke piston, there is no gas coming back in my face.

Some interesting reading on Crane's testing of the URGI vs M4A1..
Daniel Defense's barrels are legit dude.
I have been shooting the IMI 77 grain razor core. This particular setup is the softest shooting AR rifle I have ever handled. It feels like shooting a .22 caliber rifle. We were shooting key holes at 25, 50 and 100 yards. The EOTECH reticle just does not move off the target. It shoots better than the MK 18, shoots better than my SIG LT with an 11.5" barrel.

Don't think I've ever posted the recce on the hide.

Interesting that the article attributes the round count to a "mid-length" gas system, rather than manufacturing quality/technique... hmmm...NSWC-Crane Mid-Length Gas System Testing Shows Increased Performance & Service Life For M4 Carbines | Soldier Systems Daily

Ideally I'd have wanted to see mid-length DD CHF vs mid length FN CHF vs mid length FN button vs mid length Colt button vs carbine DD CHF vs carbine FN CHF vs carbine FN button vs carbine Colt button...Interesting that the article attributes the round count to a "mid-length" gas system, rather than manufacturing quality/technique... hmmm...
Regardless, DD's barrels are exceptional(check out borescope pics on ARFCOM DD chf vs FN CHF)... and I wouldn't be surprised at all if longer gas system prolongs basically all parts life, including barrel life - my thinking here specifically is gas port further down the barrel = slower gas port erosion due to pressures/heat having decreased a bit further down the barrel. But I'd defer to the experience of a @MSTN or someone else with observation/experience of the behavior of many many rifles over years/decades.
Details on the pistol holster and the chest rig please.
I have stuff and in need of a second set up.
Have a rifle set up darn similar and love it.

Holster is from G-Code with a RTI drop pistol platform, holding a Les Baer. Chest rig by AWS with Esstac mag pouches. I had my tailor cut the harness off the chest rig and sew on a harness from ATS, as it is way less bulky so my pack rides nicely on my shoulders. She also sewed on tabs to route a hydration tube and comms wires.
Ar-15 has a Aero lower with a RISE trigger, Valtor A-5 buffer. Upper is from Compass Lake, with a 14" fluted Kreiger barrel. Nightforce NX8 1x8 on a Bobro mount.

I’m so excited about my RC2 finally arriving, I wanted to share this Mk18-ish SBR I’ve pieced together over the last couple years.
Aero upper and lower, proper 10.3” barrel with enlarged port, DD rail and front iron sight, Radian CH and 45* safety selector, NiB BCG, Surefire RC2 and light with pressure pad, Rise Armament 140(I think) and some Magpul stuff. I absolutely love the look of this thing.

Never seen a RIS 2 in that color
Good job on the build sir! I'd be excited as hell too bro
Jealous of all yall's suppressors. I'm really enjoying the freedom so far having moved from NY to a free state (NC)...
My first AR pistol.
My first AR pistol.
Thanks, I’m all giddy, lol. I coated the rail with Norrel’s MolyResin in Magpul FDE when I first got it. It matched Aero’s cerakote just about perfectly.
i think i need to get one of those new flow through type suppressors

I'd like one of KAC's new 3D printed cans, maybe more so after seeing the MSRP of the new Surefire RC3. I have a AAC Mini4 as well (great shorty old school can), it resides on one of my LMT's but you've gotta get a KAC can on that Mod2/1 hybrid there.
I own the Huxwrx flow, I have an RC3 in jail. I got to shoot the knew KAC 556 (larger, not mini) and I got to shoot the new Sig 556 flow variant. The Huxwrx moves the most gas forward in my opinion. It is also the most fragile feeling, maybe least robust. The RC3 and the Sig feel like you could use them as small clubs and beat something senseless with them. I like the KAC connect/disconnect system the best. If I was going to rank them on who moves the most gas forward it would be Hux, Sig, then KAC=Surefire. I did not notice a big difference in terms of sound behind the gun with them. I went with the RC3 because of legacy muzzle devices, military contracts and the expectation that I will never outshoot it. You could probably say the same thing for the KAC.
