can someone explain to me what a "K" can is when talking about suppressors? i assume it's a size, but i don't know any more than that.



It's usually a shorter version of an existing can. It stands for "KURZ" or "short" in German.

Privi 55gr 223 for .37CPR when you buy 1000 rds. This is pretty good stuff. Best price I’ve seen in a while.

I have a lot of Prvi. Their 77 gr OTM stuff makes a good cheap Black Hills substitute.

Was so close to pulling the trigger on an LMT Mws-308 recently.

Could have gotten it for about $2500, which is $1000 or more off list price.

But, alas, cooler heads prevailed and I did not get what I like to call the IDR (instant-divorce rifle).

Will probably always regret it, but I did read it is one heavy SOB at about 10lbs w/no attachments, so that makes me feel better becaue I was going to use it mainly as a hunting rifle.

F that, get a SCAR H or Tavor 7 instead.

Owned both a SCAR and a Tavor. The MARS is a much better rifle than either of those platforms.

I agree. I want a MARS badly. My brother has a SCAR and I'd much rather have that MARS.

More accurate, better trigger, more reliable out of the box. I have shot all 3 and owned the previous 2.

do you guys still have the first rifle you ever built? i told myself i was never going to get rid of mine because of sentimental reasons, but the more i think about it, the more i'm talking myself into trading it in.

I bought 3 from junk brands (Olympic Arms, Bushmaster, and DPMS) before I knew better and settled on a 6920.

My first ever build was an SBR and I still have it. That was 16 years ago.

My first assembly (someone else did the upper) is a Sabre Defense upper/Spikes lower, SD-C trigger. My first build where I did everything started as an Aero upper, swapped out the barrel with a Rainier Arms match, PSA lower, SD-E trigger. Unless there's a panic you can't sell Frankenguns for what you have in them and I built them knowing that. If I was flipping guns for whatever reason they'd be complete OEM rifles.

i could probably trade it as a full Anderson rifle unless they run the serial number to see what it originally was from the manufacturer. the lower, upper, barrel are Anderson. PSA bolt and buffer system. magpul furniture.


they had a used Anderson on the wall yesterday at one of the local stores and i think the price was $399. but it had a milspec stock, grip, and handguard.

As a shameless HK fanboy my fingers are twitching but my brain knows better. For now. I’ve been eyeing the HK MR556A1 for a while now
