    what is the advantage of having a QD suppressor?
    This will be my second AR and I was thinking of saving a bit of cash with just going with a thread on such as the base line YHM.
    Also, I was thinking about running a pretty long rail such as:

    so it would have a very similar feel to my current 16" middy.
    Of course if I ran that long of a rail with the can inside it, taking it on/off is out besides maintenance.

    .
    Unlike an SBR, a suppressor is the item with the serial number and can be moved between weapons. If you get a 30 cal suppressor that uses QD mounts, you can move that between mutilpe rifles in .308/300BLK/6.8/6.5/5,56 etc. For example, I have a 6.8 SPC SPEC II upper for hunting and a 5.56 upper for my standard AR/SHTF rifle. I bought a 7.62 YHM Phantom LT QD suppressor and can use it between the two by simply unscrewing it from the QD mount and putting it on the other. From all the reviews and YouTube videos I have seen, there appears to be a reasonably minor DB increase in using a larger can on a smaller caliber (usually 1-3 DB depending on the size/type of can) and a little increase in weight using a larger can but well worth it. Remember, you have to keep a copy of the stamped Form 4 with the suppressor when going between rifles but other than that, all good.

    You can do the same thing with a screw-on can, you simply need muzzles threaded the same (I use my .30 can on calibers down to 5.56 and it works just fine).

    Update - I still have the 6.8 SPC and an M4 length 5.56 but have since gone the Form 1 route and built a 10.5" 300 BLK SBR. I got my tax stamp back so I have the YHM LT can and use between them. Ultra quiet on the 300 and very nice on the shorter M4. The LT can is between the Phantom SS and Titanium in weight and small than both. Optimized for 300 and 6.8. Well worth a look AND, YHM gives you one QD mount with the suppressor. None of the other vendors do that I don't think.
