The specwar blows them both out of the water without a doubt. Ive got the ti phantom and specwar if you want to try them out in person before you buy.
Also a PTR91, A VEPR SBR when I get that done, an AAC 300 SBR build that's in the works, and maybe PTR91 PWD SBR if I decide I like it enough. Basically anything I've got in 30 cal. (also 5.56)
specwar EH? 9.0" LONG, 1.50" dia. need to find a free float tube to fit over it
Theres quite a few handguards with a 1.8" ID. My favorite are the seekins MCSR and BAR but there are others.

There werent many options when I bought my phantom a couple years ago but now there are much better choices. What good is a silencer if it does its job poorly? The phantom is loud as hell compared to other newer designs. My recce 7 thats over an inch shorter than the phantom to my ear sounds the exact same. Also the length added measurement is about the same due to the mount design of the specwar. An inch longer and a few ounces isn't a big deal for the better mount and suppression IMO.
The saker is an awesome can but wont be available for form 4s for another two months so it depends on how long you want to wait. If you can wait and this being your first can the saker cant be beat. Best mount out there, nice size, good db reduction, mount flexibility and direct thread capability. No other can offers that range of features. Im on the wait list for one. My specwar will ride my 300blk SBR permanently and the saker will be my AR can.
If I didnt have any cans and was just getting into them the saker would be what I ordered without a doubt. Silencershop has a mailing list to be notified when they get them in. Theyre getting the first 450 so they should have plenty to go around for the first batch.
