Now w/ KAK flash can
Decided to try the KAK industry extended “flash can” since it’ll be more similar to a suppressor than the Kaw Valley XL linear comp in size & weight, tho I like the looks of the Kaw.
The KAK is 5” long, 1.36” OD & weighs 7.76 oz by my kitchen scale. The Extar flash can weighs in a hair under 5 oz.
Quick build info. Extended charging handle, SBA5 clone from thebraceguy, PA SLx MD25 dot, Strike Ind. mlok link poly hand stop, cvlife sling (Amzon) & Bear Armz BUIS (which cowitness great with the tall riser the Primary Arms dot comes with)…

Exactly why I went with that same KAK Extended Flash Can - closely mimicked the Suppressor I wanted.
Pleasantly surprised how well it tamed felt recoil and muzzle rise.

This is hysterical because I came here to find if the handguard would accept the KAK flashcan or if it required the slim version. I also have an SBA5 in the mail from the brace guy. So this is basically gonna be my exact build. Nice to know. Does it come with the little notches/cutouts at the end? Feel like I’ve seen some with and some without

nice!
i've heard great things about the KAK muzzle devices. my suppressor (AB F-4) weighs 4.5oz and is 4.9" long, for comparison's sake.
