Does anyone have or know about the early gen 1 crane sopmod stocks? I have one (supposedly) and the color is tripping me out. Was the coyote color or whatever they called it kinda wonky on the prototype batch?

For those of you using the RC/RC2 does it really cut down on gas to the face a noticeable amount compared to other cans you use? Better than the NT4 for those of you that have both? That comment about the gas on the Turbo got me wondering...and I wasn’t ever going to get an RC/RC2 but I’m getting the itch now.

I can't tell much difference between my rc1 and NT4 to be completely honest.
love both cans |

Unless I make a conscious effort to note the difference, I can shoot the RC and NT4 interchangeably without really noticing a change. View Quote |

Been looking to suppress my DD MK18 (10.3" and 0.070 gas block) but everywhere I go I see SF SOCOM RC2 sucks and loud. For those who thinks this is true, what cans should I look at? I have the RC2 in my cart ready to go but everybody's raving about the Turbo K on this forum. Somebody help me!
PS This is for my home defense rifle/pistol or whatever they want to designate it as. |

The RC2 is an excellent can. They sound great, but no 5.56 can is going to be "hearing safe" especially on a 10in SBR.

Thank you Thanos for the replies and for killing off half of the population.
Now, based on looking at pictures in this thread, I see mostly SF RC2s here. Not sure what the other can is with the hole punch all over it. But damn it, it's about $1200 with the damn tax stamp!!!!!!!!!!!! |
