Yes the issue is from how the barrel moves back and drives the bolt, the increased pressure from the can will break your shit. The changes to the M107’s operating system allows suppressed operation as well as other improvements (mainly accuracy).

Personally I’d buy a Cadex Tremor or better yet wait for the new AI rifle that’s coming out later this year. Barrett’s kinda suck if your target is smaller than the braid side of a barn.

Thanks for the info fellas I do understand the accuracy issue with the semi barrets as I have 338 lapua and 300 norma mag for presicion elr i owned 2 McMillantac50 about years back and I bought aac cyclopse and the canned up 50 bmg is pure punishment to say the least sold them for shits and gigs to try other things I acquired this m82a1 in a trade and was wanting to use the cyclopse suppressor knock the dust of it as it has had no play in years . Guess I need an m107a1
