There are many suppressors which do not use 2-point mounting systems like the OPS INC cans do. In fact, the majority of centerfire rifle suppresors are single-point, and use one of the following mounting systems:The barrel is too thin for mounting a suppressor on. The Ops Inc can uses a sleeve at the back of the can to block and gasses and keep the suppressor from moving as it heats up. This allows the hole for the bullet to be smaller in diameter. The current barrel makes it impossible to use one on it because it steps down behind the flash hider to the pencil thin diameter. Maybe mounting a Tactical Innovations can on it will work, but I am skeptical that the results will be good adding that much weight on a barrel that thin.
1. screw directly onto the 1/2-28 threads
2. connect over any NATO 22mm flash hider (e.g. A1, A2)
3. replace the flash-hider with a proprietary flash-hider, which the suppressor then connects to
Any of these would work fine on the XCR. A Gemtech HALO (mount type #2 above) would connect directly without even needing to take the flash-hider off.
As for general comments, I handled the XCR and the FN SCAR-L/H at the SHOT Show and I was a lot more impressed by the FN than the R.A. (or the 556 for that matter)-- ergonomics, controls, weight. 'Course, the FN isn't yet available to serfs....
