I have one from about 2010-ish. I'd love to meet you at the range sometime next summer and compare notes and generational differences over the years, as well as see how quiet yours really is.
Good luck!

Its pretty quiet, I'm running a Saker on it. It's heavy, but can handle full auto without any issues. It's a 7.62 can with a 5.56 endcap out of an abundance of caution to prevent baffle strikes. I still use hearing protection when shooting it, but the difference with the can is huge. The suppressor maxes out my laser thermometer at 600 degrees after a couple of short burst strings
The mount is just a 1913 rail to camera ball head plate adapter. The ball head is rated for 33lbs, sitting on top of a normal camera tripod. The mount and tripod don't buffer vibration or anything, but it's 5.56 - it doesn't really need anything like that so long as theres a shoulder behind the stock. I've toyed with the idea of getting the KNS spade grip for it, but that would lock me into that particular configuration until I decided to disassemble and swap out the buffer tube and all that. I do plan on having a swing-up mount built for the rollcage of my Jeep. Cause that would just be ridiculous, and make me smile
