Hey all,
Need to find out if there is a more durable 5.56 can out there than the KAC NT4 QDSS. This can is for a M4 with a 10.5" bbl, so it needs to be TOUGH, as it would have to withstand the extra gas pressure from the shorty and the occaisional full auto (not really used that much operationally, but if its rated for it and can withstand it, it is a sign of durability). It also MUST have a QD setup, no threading!!
Following is the list (in priority order) of what I need from this can:
1. DURABILITY - as stated, this is for a combat rifle used in combat theatre, so I will only go with companies that have been around for a while and have proven to make reliable cans in these environments. Obviously lifetime warranties are a sign of quality, so I will lean towards companies that back with these, but its not as big a deal here as the warranty will do me no good in the middle of an operation if the can fails.
2. POI SHIFT (obviously the less the better) - self explanatory
3. DB REDUCTION - not as concerned with numbers posted on websites, would rather get info from experienced users on HOW THEY SOUND. As I have recently learned, db reduction advantage for one can does not necessarily mean the can sounds quieter.
4. LENGTH - doesnt really matter, if all of the above are equal among two cans, i would go with the shorter one.
5. WEIGHT - same as length.
6. PRICE - no object (nice, I know, its not my money I will say that if there are two cans that appear to be EXACTLY the same in ALL of the above criteria, which I doubt will be the case, I would go with the cheaper one.
I have been looking at the KAC QDSS NT4, AAC M4-2000, Gemtech G5/G5T. I am open to other brands and models, these three are just the ones that have stood out to me thusfar.
I prefer experienced users with experience owning / shooting miltiple 5.56 cans to chime in. If you have experience with one in particular then please let me know what that experience is as well, even if you have no frame of reference for comparison.
I would like to avoid name brand wars as I need this info for real world application, not to earn bragging rights.
Much thanks in advance
