They are. As soon as I can get my hands on EA's threaded barrel, my Kodiak is going to live on my FsN.

I went with the with a AR57 12" barrel and a YHM Phantom 5.56 QD (to share with my AR15) also. Just getting everything together as we speak (AR57 upper arrived today). Out to the desert Saturday to test 40gr and 27.5gr FN Factory rounds - will post results next week. Plenty of good reloading info/data for doing 5.7 subsonic - if that's your game - well worth looking into. Subsonic in my AR15 with the YHM is a 'Whisper'. I'll be reloading some Sub 5.7 as soon as a make some empty casings (grin).

The threads sit inside the handguard so the QD and suppressor would have to fit in there and I know the OD of the YHM suppressor is too big. I think you are going to have to mill back the handguard.

The 11" barrel has that problem. 57center fixed that by going with the 12" barrel. The YHM QD Phantom 5.56 works fine on my AR57 SBR.
