Just put an order in for a Socom 762 Mini @ Silencer Shop. I didn't realize dealers can file form 4s electronically now. Hopefully I can get it in 6-7 months.

Can you tell a big difference from the weight at the end of the barrel? |

Bore sizes for the 556-RC and 556-SB would be helpful too. I wonder if there would be much difference between the 556-SB and 762-Mini on a 7.5" or 9" barrel?
|

Posted: 9/30/2013 9:50:26 AM EDT

I honestly can not figure out a reason for the SB compared to the 762Mini. They should be practically identical. Maybe slight difference in the bore and venting on the baffels, maybe the SB is a little louder and less backpressure but its got to be close!
If they question even came up I'd do the 762Mini over the 556SB. You'll likely get rid of a 556 that's under 10" anyhow, almost everyone does. So might as well the can with a little more versatility. |

The short answer is that they will until they won't. My WAG is that when demand (as measured by sales, not internet forum posts) drops below a certain level they'll largely shut it down and then make the occasional production run. |

Makes sense - the 556MG I just got at a great price as per my dealer they're being offered to him (along with some other legacy supressors) at a rather low price compared with the old MSRP. That they were being listed at such a discount made me wonder if production was coming to an end as I'm guessing most people buying new would go for one of the SOCOM cans.
I only went for the 556MG as I'm planning on using it on an 11.5" sbr, don't mind the extra weight but figure a little extra toughness can't hurt. |

I dont think I will ever use it on my AR10 and am leaning more towards just doing the 556RC... But I have that nagging feeling that if i have the opportunity to get something that works on both, why not. |

I have had my 5.56 model for about 2 months now. I have only run it on my m16. Works like it should. Not much flash if any at night. I think it is a little louder than my aac 7.62sdn-6 but not much. I still wear hearing protection.
All this was on a 11.5 inch barrel so everything is loud. Running a break mount. The finish is definitely better than aac. I got the can so hot it was glowing and on fire and the finished was not burned off. |

Got my 7.62 SOCOM-RC out today. Was very impressed with it.
I also have a 5.56 SOCOM-RC on the way. I was considering the Mini at one point but had the opportunity to shoot it and was very unimpressed with it's suppression for only losing 1" of length vs. the stndard 5.56 which was VERY quiet.
