Suppressors .308 SBR Suppressor

[JRaven]

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I am waiting on some parts to finish a 12.5" .308 pistol with the intention to file a Form 1.

I presently have a Surefire SOCOM 7.62 that I use for my .308 & .300 WM bolt guns.

Just curious on recommendations on a dedicated suppressor for this 12.5".

Anything out there better than the SOCOM for a shooting a short barreled .308?

Thank you.

Sig 762 lineup. Depending on your goals (weight, need to swap between guns) you can get a Quick disconnect version or titanium options. I run a Sig 762 on a 8.5" 300 BLK and it is fantastic.

I hit up a buddy who collects tax stamps as a hobby and he recommended...

DeadAir Nomad or Sandman
KAC CRS
Silencerco Chimera (no barrel length restrictions)

He had heard about the TBAC Dominus-SR and was heading to check it out at SHOT in the next few days.

Thanks for the recommendations.

i have been looking into this, mostly for 556 pistol and reliable large platform ar suppressor. Im looking seriously at OSS due to blowback and gas gun cycling. i have no first hand experience with OSS but are not a fan of Yankee hill, or SiCo on my gassers. 2¢

I think that you are going to be hard pressed to find a better suppressor for that application than the SureFire that you already have.

The Dominus is roughly half the weight and quieter.

How does the back pressure through the action compare?

 

[Zak Smith]

There is a backpressure measuring spec pending apparently, I'll post some numbers when it's possible to do so

What also helps is measured rate of fire suppressed and unsuppressed.

What you currently have is one of the best options out there for semiautos. I have heard good things about the dead Air sandman, but no first hand experience. Surefires are awesome for keeping down backpressure.

Seems like that is what I am gathering. I am going to go check out the Chimera and Dead Air today. The worst part about suppressors is the 12 month wait so might as well get the exact one you want.

Thanks for the help.
