SBR length with suppressor opinions

[hatidua]

If you get a 30 cal suppressor that uses QD mounts, you can move that between mutilpe rifles in .308/300BLK/6.8/6.5/5,56 etc.

You can do the same thing with a screw-on can, you simply need muzzles threaded the same (I use my .30 can on calibers down to 5.56 and it works just fine).

From what I have read, most will still support short barrel with the 300 BLK as it was optimized for a 9" barrel. 5.56 has much more of a muzzle blast because of the powder that needs to be used.

i agree which is why i haven't done it. all the powder is burned up in 300 blackout in an 8.5-9 inch barrel, but mine is 223. will a suppressor inevitably wear out at some point or if you adequately clean it will it basically last forever? honestly i haven't researched it a whole lot. i always assumed if it was taken care of it would be fine. but i assume suppressors can't be "repaired" you just have to get a new one?

Most mfg can do a baffle replacement. Especially when a can becomes the victim of baffle strikes. I was quoted $200 for one can i was offered that suffered multiple strikes from a full auto gone beserk. Between the baffle replacement, and transfer, for another $150 i could buy a new one.

so in order to do a baffle replacement you have to redo the transfer fee? i appreciate the info, just want to make sure i understand it correctly.

If just the baffles are replaced then a transfer fee is not needed. If the can or the part that has the serial number on it is damaged then you will need a new can. ATF doesn't allow the transfer of an old serial number to a new can any more.

what a surprise. atf is definitely sympathetic.

Unlike an SBR, a suppressor is the item with the serial number and can be moved between weapons. If you get a 30 cal suppressor that uses QD mounts, you can move that between mutilpe rifles in .308/300BLK/6.8/6.5/5,56 etc. For example, I have a 6.8 SPC SPEC II upper for hunting and a 5.56 upper for my standard AR/SHTF rifle. I bought a 7.62 YHM Phantom LT QD suppressor and can use it between the two by simply unscrewing it from the QD mount and putting it on the other. From all the reviews and YouTube videos I have seen, there appears to be a reasonably minor DB increase in using a larger can on a smaller caliber (usually 1-3 DB depending on the size/type of can) and a little increase in weight using a larger can but well worth it. Remember, you have to keep a copy of the stamped Form 4 with the suppressor when going between rifles but other than that, all good.

Update - I still have the 6.8 SPC and an M4 length 5.56 but have since gone the Form 1 route and built a 10.5" 300 BLK SBR. I got my tax stamp back so I have the YHM LT can and use between them. Ultra quiet on the 300 and very nice on the shorter M4. The LT can is between the Phantom SS and Titanium in weight and small than both. Optimized for 300 and 6.8. Well worth a look AND, YHM gives you one QD mount with the suppressor. None of the other vendors do that I don't think.

Remember, this is brought to you by the same organization that lists a suppressor as a firearm to begin with. Nuff said.

I guess since I started this thread I'll finish it with:

I need a keymod light mount but what I have now will have to do.

Looks great! A rail that covers up all or part of a suppressor is so sexy!
