308 suppressor

[Scollins]

I've got the new Gemtech HVT in QD trim. I have a mount on my AR10, and I will have one on my 300x221 (when I get it, hopefully soon.) Just push it on and twist 1/4 turn (or is it 1/2?) and you are GTG.

I can't wait.

GTG?
GlocktalkGuy? yes

I use a Ase Utra "Z" Jet on my .308, and also on the .300 whisper. Thread on...works great.

I've actually decided to go with a 9mm can for my 300x221. Since I will only be shooting subsonic ammo, the pressures generated don't require the solid steel construction of a dedicated 308 suppressor. My HVT weighs 29 oz, which is a lot of weight hanging off the end of the barrel. My 300x221 is light and handy right now, so a lightweight suppressor won't upset that balance. I think the HVT would have better suppression, but it is also longer. That means more time for the bullet to transit the suppressor, and more time for it to strike a baffle...

I went with the Gemtech Trinity 9mm suppressor. It is rated for full auto SMG fire, and it has various back plates to allow a multitude of mounting options. I may find a tri-lock for my 300x221, then I'd have a QD version as well. I don't have the Trinity yet, and I know my paperwork will be delayed. I screwed up and only sent in one copy of the F4.... It will get round-tripped so I file it duplicate like I was supposed to....

I ordered AAC Cyclone for mine - 5/8 x24 thread to use on AR10 - and get adapters for smaller threads to the 5/8 x24 can. Full Auto .308 rated and testing in .308 with standard nato and subsonic loads showed it did well in either area - some did better in super some did better subsonic but cyclone was in upper part of list for both areas. - very close to having it together now after over a year scrounging parts and waiting.

Well, my Trinity was approved on August 5th! I guess I didn't forget to include two copies of the Form 4. I must have gotten 3 copies from my SOT, thus explaining the "extra" I had. Now I just need to get my SOT to thread the 300x221 barrel for the Trinity. I've also got a 3 lug mount and 3 lug adapter for the Trinity coming. That will make it a QD can instead of a thread on!
