Nothing will come close to beating a thunder beast 338 ultra gen 2 in suppression on 338Just got me a Barrett MRAD in 300 PRC but might eventually get a 338 Lapua barrel for it, so I want to get a 338 suppressor that'll work for the 300 and 338. Any suggestions? Also if anyone has experience installing a can to an MRAD I'm all ears. I've heard the brake is a pain to detach. Thank! Also, this is my very first post to Sniper's Hide

The Sandman-S is one suppressor that I was considering however, I wish there was one that fit on the Barrett adapter. Thanks for the info.
Yeah unfortunately there is one Barrett that does currently and it is ungodly expensive! However, a quick muzzle brake change fixes that. I have not tried the Sandman S on it but I suspect the Hybrid 46M will trump it in suppression. A better comparison, and probably the one that is right from the Sandman line for this gun is the Sandman L
Oh and when you take the Barrett muzzle brakes off, they have red Loctite in them. Use a torch and get them to around 600 degrees until it starts to melt out and they should spin right off. A heat gun won’t cut it. Ask me how I know
I don't know why Barrett didn't team up with another manufacturer to produce the AM-30, or a similar model that fit the Barrett brake. Using a torch heated to 600 degrees has convinced me to skip the suppressor. Thanks for the info - much appreciated.Oh and when you take the Barrett muzzle brakes off, they have red Loctite in them.

They went this route because of the military contracted MK22. When it comes down to it, they don’t make a ton of $ in the civilian market when the government will order thousands at a time from them. That being said, it is an absolutely incredible suppressor.
You just taught me a new trick! Not sure how easy that would have been on the M107A1 though
It’s not as “fast” but I’ve had good luck. I prep the day before by soaking it every few hours, and I’ve had no problem spinning red loctit’ed things right off this wayYou just taught me a new trick! Not sure how easy that would have been on the M107A1 though
Love it. I use them on 6.5CM, 300PRC, 300NM, 338NM, 338LM (don’t have a .308). They’re big, but very quiet. Still waiting on the Gen 2 SR to clear jail, but it’s supposed to be even quieter.
I think it’s the perfect choice for your needs (if you’re going to need 338 too). I don’t think there’s a better suppressor out there that can cover all those bases. The only downside is the size, if that’s an issue for you (it isn’t for me).
