MR2,

These suggestions are coming from a police/ guy that just likes to train a lot perspective. I have a 16" BCM in 5.56, on it I'm running a Griffin Armament M4SD II, I got this out of jail several months back and am loving it so far, easy to attach and detach and keeps the sound down to around that of a .22, the biggest benefit besides the obvious noise reduction is I can switch it between any rifle with a A2 flash suppressor, not an issue with personal rifles as you can mod them, but when you start dealing with department issue rifles it comes in handy. I believe Griffin makes some .22 and .30 cal suppressors as well, the suppressor I have is good quality and I haven't noticed any real POA POI shift out to 250 with it.

For a sling I use the Blue Force Gear padded VCAS with the swivel mounts, it works great for me, the padding is comfortable over long distances and I can adjust the length of the sling to give me more slack quick and easy without having any excess hanging off catching on door handles or the guy next to you being yanked around by his holster. I used the sling in a 5 day Tyr Group course and it held up good and was comfortable over long distances for me.

As far as long distances I can't really make a recommendation as I don't shoot much distance. In my line of work 100 yards is about as far out as we will engage and while I do practice out to 200-250 I generally focus on work inside of 50-75 yards (the length of our longest halls in the schools in our AO) with un-magnified optics. For un-magnified I recommend Aimpoint all the way, the T-1 is awesome but for the money you can't beat the Aimpoint PRO, it will cost ya around $400 but comes with a decent mount which is way cheaper then the T-1 without a mount.

For the threaded barrel for the G17, I've only heard good things about Lone Wolf Distributors, and ADCO, they might be able to help you in that department.

Hope this info helps, if your around my AO feel free to PM me and we'll work out a day to let you give the supressor and sling a test drive, see if you like them or not, always better to try before you buy with NFA items.
