Specwar 556 or 556k.

Post by socom elite »

Help me decide please. I'm looking at either the specwar 556 or the shorter and lighter K version. It's going on a 12" upper. But I would also put it on my 16" from time to time. I'm thinking the full size one as its quieter. Anyone shot both? How's the blowback on the K version. Also how's the difference in dB?

I can't help on the K version, but the regular 556 can is pretty sweet. It sounds really good and even at 19 ounces it doesn't make my 16" feel too muzzle heavy.

Personally, on a 12" I'd go with the K. Neither will be hearing safe...

That's kinda why I'm thinking the full size can. It the main host was the 16" I'd think the shorter (k) would be best.
