Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

So you have to chamber a round after each shot?

Awesome

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Yep, its that way with all M1As, M14s shooting subsonic loads unfortunately.
Not enough gas pressure to cycle them.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Will it function normally with regular rounds? non-subsonic?

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Yessir. Still pretty quiet too.

All of water boys invite's still stand.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Also, didn't feel any gas blowback while shooting suppressed.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Is there a way to lets say... buy a reduced power spring for the socom to run it suppressed? Or perhaps a larger gas port, and lighter op rod?

I'm just curious if its possible to make a suppressed socom cycle everytime with sub loads.

or am I just pissing in the wind?

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

I've heard both stories, that it's virtually impossible to without super-modifying the rifle, and that "all you need is an adjustable gas plug and to anneal the spindle valve" I've also heard that you can drill a hole in your gas piston or make a groove to allow for the pressure, but I'm no expert, so I can't tell you whether or not it is or isn't possible. My sources say no, but that doesn't make it a fact. Do some research on it and you may find a way. Here's some links to help get you started.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Did you not tighten down the Vortex before installing the can?
Didn't see a wrench deployed. That could result in a baffle strike as it loosens from recoil.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

That's nice. I haven't seen an M14 setup like that before. Quiet too.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...


What type of stock do you have your socom in?? Is that a Sage EBR?

 

[DeSnifter]

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Thats sweet how quiet that is with the subsonic rounds. Makes me want to get one for my own M1A.

Re: The SOCOM Suppressed...

Were you shooting hand loads or EBR subsonics. What company made the can and what model. That was about the same if not better than me shooting a gemtech M4-02 with EBR ammo. Looking to do the samething with my scout here very shortly. Getting the SAGE EBR stock hopefully soon. Went with the multi cam and its has been back ordered 2 weeks or so but cant wait till it comes in.
