I posted this in the silencer section this morning, but I figured you guys would find it interesting as well.
I had a couple long calls with Surefire and Silencer Shop yesterday regarding the SOCOM 556 RC, the 556 SB, and the 556 MG. If you've looked at the specs, the SB and RC are the same external size and weigh the same. The MG is about an inch and a half longer and weighs much more. The MG has much thicker baffles and is designed for use on belt-fed MG's firing long bursts. The difference between the SB and RC is that they took the super thick blast baffle from the MG and stuck it in the SB. Everything else is the same as the RC. Warranty for barrel length is down to 10" on the RC and the SB is warrantied for barrels "shorter than 10". I asked if a 7.5" barrel was covered and Surefire said yes. They would also re-core due to baffle erosion. The SB does meter a little higher than the RC because the thicker blast baffle cuts down on volume in the can. Silencer Shop states as a shooter you can't here the difference, but the meter can. Anyway, I picked up a second SB this morning instead of an RC. Silencer Shop restocked on the RC, but the price is back up over $1100. The SB is still at the lower $963. For a thicker blast baffle and basically the same sound suppression and $200 less, it's a no-brainer..... ETA - figured I'd better post up some pics since it's the top of the page.... 
There's a 762-RC and a 556-Mini in that bottom picture. My first 556-SB is still waiting on form 3...... Yes, that's all my stuff waiting in "jail". More inbound. Hurry up ATF!!!! |

Thanks for the info, it does sound like a no brainer, but for me, the 7.62 mini is the no brainer of the bunch, as you can use it for 300, where a suppressor really shines. |

I was also under the impression that a the SB had slightly larger baffle bore diameter. I guess that isn't true.

I have a 7.62 mini and I think the reduction in performance on 5.56 is quite noticeable. I'm currently hunting for a deal on the 5.56 socom now. I will say that I was impressed by the 7.62 mini on .308 and 7.62x39 so get both if you can

I have tried it on a 14.5 upper and I agree the performance gap is minimized on longer barrels. On a 10.3 barrel you can easily hear the difference. |

There's a black one for 300 shipped in a thread for 300 shipped if you plan to paint but the clone police will cuff you quick ;) |

All the new mfg fa's are flat across the grooves, with some mfg's having the grooves/splines squared off instead of V'd. The old Colts look like they're worn, but that's the way they came new.

OK! Now were cooking with gas. Other than two tax stamps, a Wilcox mount and a taper pin I'm getting pretty close. The mod 0 is just mocked up, nothings been torqued on so ignore that, but were getting close.

Well I'm going to have some fun this week. Since my father has a chronograph, and we'll be hitting the range together after Christmas , I figure I might as well take some readings of various ammo w/ and w/o the surefire can on, against my reloads. It's for science! Haha

Hopefully it gets a new RC556 in a couple weeks, mine went pending 9/12 and a lot of stamps around then are being approved. |

There's been a lot of talk about the Govnah adjustable gas blocks. They are now in stock on their website; thought some of you guys might want to know. I just ordered the MK18 3 position model (I hope I got the right one). The website doesn't give the MK18 model specs. ATPIAL-C will be here Tuesday according to Fed-Ex, pics to follow.

Nice man! Are you keeping the surefire flash hider, or going with the brake when it gets approved? |

ECP is your spirit animal RTUtah?
Gonna clean up my current build and start a PR/Block 1. I'm sending the barrel off to ADCO as soon as I can get these fucking BCM taper pins out of the FSB. SOCOM RC should be purchased by Feb or March. Not sure if I should also get an NT4 (I'm not really sure where to even buy one). T1 will stay there until I'm ready to park an Elcan on the Block 2. 
ETA: Who's got the best price on an EXPS 3-0 Tan? |

Arms Unlimited has the best price I've been able to find. Add it to your cart and it should be $545 shipped. |

I may be wrong, but it seems like I remember seeing somewhere on their site that with the RIS II rail only accepts the 2 position............I could be wrong though. Hope I am. Edit......should have looked before I misspoke. They show it with a 3 pos on the site with MK18 rail. It's hell getting old with CRS |

It's hell getting old with CRS I emailed them and here's a piece of the response: "The MK18 version is provided with a .070/.049/.082 and a .073/.052/.082 plate. Former for milspec ammo and the latter to handle commercial and lower powered ammo. Also note that the MK18 version is intended to be used with a rail system that can accomodate the 3 position version such as the MI SSK and the DD MK18 with possible clearance issues as pictured here: http://micromoa.com/?page_id=652#ddmk18" |

Haha I see him in the Mk12. I'm trying to hold off on that clone for awhile. I will probably buy a couple more cans in January after our bonuses and I might tack on a MK12 can for just to have it in the pipe. Looking to see some PEQ-15C and RCs soon.
TXDirtyMaxDiesel - Those are awesome. Where in Texas? I've got three days to kill in Texas. |
