    Escaped to gunny FL.
    I have both the Rugged Surge and Rugged Razor. Great cans. A little heavy for 5.56 since they are both 30 cal cans. If this is going to be a dedicated can, I would look into something in direct thread 5.56 (will be my next purchase if HPA passes).

    I've got a handful pf HK MRs in different lengths. I'm waiting for B&T USA to release the Rotex line here in the States before I buy any more supressors. I'm still waiting on a SureFire SOCOM SB2 to clear jail.

    Silencerco Hybrid or Omega !!!
    ASR quick mount is solid. Direct thread and 3 lug mounts available.

    The Saker 556 is heavy as crap
    The hybrid is lighter and more versatile
    Omega is a watered down version of Hybrid
    Griffin Armament Optimus breaks down for cleaning & is versatile but too many parts and not built-like-a-tank like the Silencerco's

    Wonder if they fixed the insane tolerances from the earlier SOCOMs. I basically have to shoot mine off every time because it carbon locks.

    Had mine lock on finally. Two things I learned from this: Lube the QD mount thoroughly before mounting and remove the can before it cools. What locked on mine was the coupler. Don't know if this helps.

    I've enjoyed using a Saker 7.62 on a 5.56 pistol with a 10.5" barrel. The can fits plenty of other guns, too. One can, many guns, keeps expenses low. Okay, lower.

    I have an AAC SDN-6 that I use on my 5.56, .300 BLK and .308 bolt gun. Uses a ratcheting adapter which is super easy to use. Very quiet.

    Although I've only had it a short time (after sitting in NFA jail for nearly 1.5 years!), I don't see a problem with the Optimus' build quality, but it sure has alotta parts. Worse yet, to actually make full use of its versatility requires the purchase of a bunch o' expensive extras, possibly including adapters that Griffin doesn't offer (I had to purchase an adapter to fit the Optimus to the VZ58 (Get this: Griffin said there aren't enough '58s around to make it worth their while to offer the adapter themselves:lol2::sad20:)). Also, fully assembled (including the requisite adapter), it's a relatively heavy gadget. So heavy, in fact, that, once fitted to the '58, the rifle's so front-heavy (and loaded with a Rube Goldberg-like assemblage of componentry) I decided not to even bother using the silencer on it (this was my primary (tho' not sole) use for the Optimus).
