2. Sound Signature Review 6.217 – The CAT ST on the 14.5-in M4 midlength gas AR-15.  New CAT rifle silencer using their SBX technology; a little different than SURGE BYPASS. How does their universal 5.56 silencer stack up? Well, it’s not normal, apparently. Intro discussion for today’s report. (00:47:55)

3. Sound Signature Review 6.218 – The CAT AKB on the 14.5-in SR-25.  Another new CAT rifle silencer – this time a universal 30 caliber model.  Different and smaller than their ODB.  This one seems to be at home on everything from subsonic things to a battle rifles… we’ll tackle the intro for that report today as well!

2. The 300 BLK MCX, or Rattler LT, or LVAW, or whatever you want to call it… is really fun! Like any cool small arm weapon system, you want to make it “your own.” I am busy doing that. Wanted to share some thoughts about my own personal gun and what I have discovered I like, don’t like, and how it’s working for me. (00:48:59)
