I really love the way the Mini-4 looks. If I was in the market for a new 5.56 can, I'd seriously consider one. Do you run a flash hider or brake under it with that barrel length?



I usually run the usual, Blackout, Brakeout, Brakeout 2.0's under them.

I'm actually considering getting another mini-4. It's basically my favorite can. Short, and decent suppression.

Don't let them sell you clearcoat on that pebble finish. It looks nice when it's dry, but when it rains, it's an assbuster!

The mating surfaces between the mount and the inside of the can are machined so that none of the gasses or fouling comes back behind the first thread's face so the can doesn't carbon lock onto the mount. That's exactly how it looked after removing the can after having shor a few mags through about six hours ago. Gotta love Griffin!

So how do you like it suppressed Deadwing?

[Deadwing]

So far, i like it. It's been 100% reliable with minimal gas blowback. Runs like a champ. I've only shot it suppressed with one type of ammo, which is subsonic, and it's pretty clean stuff. So that may be part of it not gassing me out as i've heard so many reports of.

Both the Trifecta MAAD and Key-mo are simple to operate. Drop the suppressor over the mount. Twist until it stops turning. Done.

As for the internal workings, the Trifecta and Key-mo are similar in that they are compression mounts, pulling the suppressor against a tapered surface on the muzzle device, but otherwise are very different mechanically.

The Trifecta is rather complex with three locking teeth that cam in behind the muzzle device, pins, inner and outer sleeves, and a couple springs. It's not user serviceable.

The Key-mo has 2 parts and a spring, and can be disassembled by hand while installed on your suppressor.

I went through three Trifectas and they all got stuck, all the time. My Key-mo has never gotten stuck. ASR is OK as long as the ASR spring is tuned properly and you pay attention to locking/unlocking it.

A little clip from last Friday. I'm very lucky to have a couple friends with assorted transferables. This is my 10.5" LMT MRP upper on a registered Colt M16 lower. The gun shoots extremely soft due to the Gemtech SBC and suppressor, so you can land multiple hits on steel at decent distances.

A MK18 doesn't have to have a NT4, or any can, on it. The LMT rear does finish it out nicely. For a CQBR B1, you're good with a KAC or Matech. Regardless, with the Wilcox mount, you're already well on your way to being more correct than mine....which is why I enjoy poking fun at you and your apparent unlimited resources!

Haha... unlimited resources... far from the truth! I just keep a lot of stuff from back in the day. I also trade a lot with the local guys around me and buy a lot of gear on the secondary market.

A topic that comes up with a friend of mine often, especially when the Docter that I bought from him used comes out on top of my Elcan. That thing is such junk compared to what's available now. But #clonepoints!

Really, the only reason I still have it on the optic is because I don't want to reinvest in a mounting plate for a RMR given I already invested in the mount for the Docter.

[Former11B]

I wouldn't say the NT4 sucks. It's heavy, sure, but only 2oz heavier than an M4-2000 and mount, and have just as much rotational issue as a lot of 51T mounts. They can take a hell of a beating and a huge round count on short barreled FA guns. Yeah, there's the latest and greatest out there now, but you could do worse with a current year brand or two for sure.

The endcap is different. is there any way to get a shot straight down the end? It looks like the tube is slightly different.

I talked to the Griffin guys a while back about the Mod 4 and what the nutshell version is there was some very very minor geometric changes that happened.

Supposedly it's to help the machine work flow a lot easier and stuff like that.

The tube on that one looks like it has a little flair on the end of it. My Mod 3 doesn't have that and I KNOW I have Mod 3.

I would betcha bucks that's a Mod 4. The guts should be almost identical with just some minor adjustment to make the work flow of construction a little easier.

On a more serious note, trying to figure out if I should find a legacy flash hider or use a SOCOM Warcomp. Given available assets, I'm leaning towards the SOCOM side, but that may not be quite as "correct." None of this matters if my wife doesn't sign for a package tomorrow...but I digress.

Correct. I ran mine that way on my M4B2 before taking it off (because of rear sight/optic fit). It pushes everything forward and the base creates a nice index point for my thumb. On a more clone note...I basically took Tom Spooner's setup (http://i.imgur.com/nvt6aKe.jpg)and copied it, except the optic/riser and can (and removing the PEQ, for weight day-to-day). His had a KAC Micro 600m sight, but I grabbed a 300m Micro for "cheap" and will throw it on there...hopefully after USPS delivers it tomorrow.

It's been interesting shooting this. Recoil impulse is "stout," more so than the Adams Arms oprod upper I have, but not terrible. What is terrible is the gas in the face with the suppressor. Recoil is actually fine with the can, and not much different, but it does push a cloud of freedom into your eyes when shooting.

But is capapable of almost 5000 yards. Considering it's a $2000 RF I was more than pleased with the Radius.

I appreciate you checking with me.

I can vent your factory 10.4 block no problem, at this point I’ve done quite a few.

They are a bear to bore through with a .035” drill bit but as I said I’ve done several at this point, the cost is $195 plus return shipping.

You’ve probably already seen my description but if not you can read more about the modification here http://www.investmentgradefirearms.com/vented-gas-block-modification-for-the-10-4-inch-hk-mr556/

The link he sent me was what I had already discovered and was why I asked you the original question. Sounds like it's doable. I may put it on the list as something to do by the end of the year. I didn't get a chance to reply back to him today to get more details (time to complete, specifically), but there's always next week.

It's a US made clone of the HK23E. Here's the other side with the belt box removed and the feed mechanism swung down.

Very interesting guns, considering their lineage. An early version of the 23E was submitted as the XM262 for the SAW trials and almost won. The E (export) models can swap between 5.56 and 7.62 in a couple minutes by changing the bolt group, barrel, and feed mechanism.

Thanks! It had some teething problems initially, but is running well now. The 23E is one of my grail guns. I've been saving up for years to get it.

And yes, M27 links. It can use the wider spaced ones that have a hole, too, as long as the entire belt is one or the other.

I have several title 1 guns and a huge box of parts and accessories to sell off later this month so I can continue to feed it. 850-900 rpm is no joke.

I think (from what I've been reading) is people try to shoot supers and subs, suppressed and suppressed on the same rifle. You can't really mix and match.
You need to build the gun for subs or build the gun for supers.

I'm not sure exactly what videos I was watching or threads I was reading to be honest. I've been trying to take in as much as I can. I read some feeding/ejection issues switching back and forth. Also, zero changing per load/set up, but that can happen with load change in any rifle.

So what's the original recipe? Because it seems like with the variety of barrel lengths and gas lengths, plus types of ammunition and suppressors, there is no "original" recipe. And the beauty of the AR platform is that they ARE customizeable to a specific need/want.

I'm not sure exactly what videos I was watching or threads I was reading to be honest. I've been trying to take in as much as I can. I read some feeding/ejection issues switching back and forth. Also, zero changing per load/set up, but that can happen with load change in any rifle.

As far as most of my guns once I get them tuned in I rarely if ever will switch loads. The only exception is my SBR (for now). I have a bunch of 55gr that I am going through, but after that I will re-zero my gun using 75gr Hornady bullets. Once I run out the 55gr I will shoot 75gr and just leave it at that.

I have a stock of those bullets and I will buy more when I have the money and/or see sales.

No matter what gun you have you can never have too much ammo. I just need to figure out a way to reload a lot faster while not being sloppy about it.

Do tell. I started a thread asking just about that among other things...

My .300 BO will lock the BCG back on the last round with and without a can using subs and supers. It is just all how you set it up. Everything from spring tention to Bolt carrier weight comes into play. I also like a barrel that IS gassed. Over gassed is a crock of SH#$. I put silicon on my charging handle and shoot my DD 10.3 with a can and I lived to tell about it. ;)
