| just wanted to see what yall think of this can, I bought it awhile back and will be picking it up this weekend.. I could not pass it up for the price, think ill throw it on my 11.5 SBR. |
I have had one for a couple years that I use with a 11.5" upper. As you probably already know, a 11.5 upper is pretty loud. If I shoot mine unsuppressed, I tend to get nasty looks from the fuds at the range.  I decided that I did not need fast attach and didn't want to spend a lot of money on the newest and best. To me, the sonic crack is uncomfortable to my ears regardless of what suppressor you have. I already have some hearing loss so I am very protective of what I have left. Because of that, I wear hearing protection all the time unless there is no one else at the range and I am shooting subsonic 22lr.
I do like my M4-02. It may not have the sound reduction of some of the top tier 223 suppressors but it does a pretty good job. Not having quick attach is not a problem for me. I put some high temp anti seize grease on the threads and screw it on. When I am done shooting, I take it off. No problem. I have never had it even start to loosen during shooting but I do not shoot full auto through it. How about a range report after you try it out? Joe |
ok so keep my ears on,  and yea i guess i could write up a range report after i shoot it. i have other gemtech, aac cans in 223 but this would be my first thread mount can, but im sure ill like it.. so im guessing it should be ok without some type of "thread lock" i wont be running full auto, but i plan on gorilla gripping the shit out of it to make sure its on good. and ill be checking it often..

| My memory is that Gemtech does not recommend using Nord-Lock due to alignment concerns. I think it's best to go with the manufacturer's recommendations when it comes to these sorts of issues, because they're the ones you'd be going to should your suppressor be damaged. Gemtech is easy to reach via email and phone. |
