Decisions...

I was recently rear ended by a 17 year old... which means ill be getting a check in the mail next month for the bills, and pain and compensation.
Now, the hard part. I have an unhealthy addiction to stamp collecting.
I have a Form1 SBR Micro Galil, and a Form4 45 Osprey, and I feel the sickness growing... :evil:
Now, should I go for a Can for my Micro Galil?
Should I go get a DD?
Should I go get some Gen3 Night Vision?
or something for the wife? :rolleyes:

The can is the most practical way to go, IMO. That's what I'd do.

YHM?
Is that what your dealer has in stock or do you like their price range? There are a ton of great .30 cal cans out there.
Get a quality can and don't look back!

I do like the price range on the YHM, are they not reliable?
what do you suggest?
One of the problems with canning the Micro Galil is the m13X1 metric threads, so I will have to find an adapter, or someone who makes a fast attach for that thread.

I sure would be happier about discussing this topic if you had kept your poll High Road.

+1, unless his wife just has a thing for big floppy hats with gaily parti-coloured silk flowers.

YHM makes a decent product, not top of the dog pile but not on bottom either, they are average, in my opinion the best bang for your buck is Innovative Arms, their 7.62 Deception is rated for up to 300 Win Mag and it's built like a tank.
AAC also makes a can called the Cyclone that is good but I do not think its rated for the bigger .30 cal stuff.
The quietest .30 I have shot was a Thunderbest P30-1, but with quality comes a price...
You will most likely have this for the rest of your life, don't look at this investment as dollars and cents only, if your trying to go the cheapest way possible get a Griffin Armament or Huntertown arms suppressor.
You can think of a suppressor like a optic, if you just bought a brand new Weatherby MK V would you put a nice Leupold on it or just go to Wal Mart and get a Tasco 3-9 for 29.95?

That's better. :) My vote is for the can! Sounds like crazy-mp has some good advice on shopping different brands. Personally, a destructive device just doesn't do it for me like a suppressor would. And I don't really have a use for night vision. (Not that it has to be "useful.") But I have an SBR as well, and I'd probably want to put a suppressor on it if I had a little windfall.

I think im debating between the AAC SDN6 or the YHM 762 TI

Major Malfunction has tested the AAC SDN6 and the YHM 762 Titanium can on his web site it list the
AAC:
Db @ Muzzle: 142.4
Db @ Ear: 128.7
and YHM 762 Titanium:
Db @ Muzzle: 141.8
Db @ Ear: 128.5

It also depends on what your going to be doing with your can, the AAC is almost 5 ounces heavier and its about a inch shorter, where the YHM offers lighter weight. If you plan on getting a M16 or other full auto some day I would recommend the AAC if you are just going to run it on a AR or bolt action platform either will work fine, but Titanium is a light weight strong material, not suited for high rates of fire. Thunderbeast Arms makes a special can for short barreled rifles and machine guns and they use stainless and inconel, because of the properties of the metal.
