TR,
I'm not opposed to a slightly longer barrel, but I was hoping to put that money towards other firearms and ammo purchases.
Is the FA556 that much better than the FA556K?
Also are Surefire cans still able to handle an extremely high round count? I'm not expecting to be burning that much ammo, I'm just looking for a long term investment versus having to buy another can after 10k or 20k worth of rounds.
TIA

I thought I had already posted a review, but the suppressor division chief at SureFire told me that they cut a can down with 30,000 rounds through it and it showed no appreciable wear. They have a pretty good warranty, regardless.
The FA556 comes back further over the barrel than the FA556K, giving another 3 dB of sound suppression and better heat sink function for a couple of inches length, but that is another upper to build/buy.
Your call.
TR
