I dont know any can that would stay in spec after 30,000 rounds of fire. There simply isnt one. Oxidation happens on any can including an AAC. I dont work for or sell them either. Just letting you know the facts. Also surefire will not tell anyone what grade of metal they make their cans out of. It is suspected to be Inconel of the 600 series. Only AAC and KAC are 718. The KAC is loud and hard to get. There are many stocking dealers for the AAC and I believe theyre a bit cheaper.

I have thousands of rounds through the SureFire cans in demos, and own more than one of them.

I have not found anything that they claimed about their cans, to be false or inaccurate. In short, no hype that I have seen. Peregrino has some experience with the SureFires as well.
