I don’t own any 30 cal cans currently but with the short lead times, feel like it’s time to stock up.
The first 30 can will be for a 12.5 in 7.62 AR10 and maybe some light 5.56. I was originally looking at the Otter Creek offerings but none in stock locally, then Ecco but none in stock locally. I’m somewhat local to Capital Armory. CA has the Nomad 30, Rugged Razor 7.62 and Omega 300 in stock. I could have an Ecco transferred to them but by the time they add their fee, would be the same cost or close to it as the three I mentioned in stock. Any other options I should be looking at? I’m not overly concerned with weight or length other than not wanting an 11in suppressor. I will be getting more 30 cal cans so this first will not need to be the absolute best at everything. |

Also consider the Explorr, Dual Lok, Dilligent Defense, Rex MG7k, Recce 7, Scythe, Chimera 300, and 30SDk. A lot of good/cool .30 cans these days. Hard part is finding them in stock.

I like my Yhm resonator. It has a stellite blast baffle that will help save your can if you shoot it a lot. I’ve never used anything else though.

I was looking at the anthem s2 qd and the griffin orrerings. I wish there was some more info on the the anthem version 2. The Dual-lok 7 looks nice as does the explorr for weight.

Do you care about back pressure and whether it will be necessary to tune and/or modify the host gun?
I ask because a lot of AR10s are very overgassed to begin with, which will be exacerbated by a high back pressure suppressor. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: Another to consider is the Energetic Arms Vox S I forgot about Energetic. I’d also consider the Velos 30 if it were for myself, but I’m cautious to recommend other people any flow-through type can that I haven’t personally used, because some of them are loud as &$@%, despite what internet folk say. The 5.56 Velos works really well on 5.56, and has a bore that passes a 7mm rod, so I suspect the 7.62 version will also be good. I don’t want to speculate too much yet, though. |

I try not to actually recommend any suppressor, because we all have different priorities and different things we think are necessary vs things we would tolerate. I strongly suggest that everyone take every suppressor recommendation and do a lot of research on it before making a decision. Even if we all were to think can X is literally the best can ever made and is 100% better than every other suppressor we currently own, someone else out there would likely disagree based on their own priorities. (For example, I for one like flow through cans for the right use case (as long as they are not too heavy). But dBs are nowhere near my highest priority. |

I ask because a lot of AR10s are very overgassed to begin with, which will be exacerbated by a high back pressure suppressor. Not particularly, the rifle is currently set up slightly under gassed and could easily be tuned down more. I should have said I was not needing a low back pressure can. |

Hard part is finding them in stock. I originally was not too concerned about weight until I was able to handle all the suppressors today. The Alley Cat 308 and Scythe Ti are quite nice. I think it will be between these two but the Scythe is winning because it uses standard hub threads instead of a proprietary muzzle device. The Nomad was high on the list but it feels like you’re holding a brick compared to holding the two Ti options mentioned above. |

With a 12.5” .308 I’d be more concerned with durability than splitting hairs over a few ounces. This from someone that typically prioritizes weight. That host is going to be rough on a Ti can.

That host is going to be rough on a Ti can. I thought it was rated for full auto fire but after looking at the SilencerCo website, it is not. I don’t plan on running it full auto but now I’m back to more traditional built cans (heavy). I don’t plan on leaving going this specific rifle through the woods, would be a stationary shooter. |

My choices were a YHM Resonator R2, Diligent Defense Enticer L, and a Rex Silentium MG7. Any of them would work, if you can find them in stock. The Rex MG7 is a shorter "K" can so it's not as quiet as the others.

I have the Titanium version—not what you’d want for this application—and I’m very impressed so far. |

I use it for hunting, but I rarely walk more than a mile from the truck. Most of the time only a few hundred yards because the properties are so small. And I got the Rex MG7 as smaller lighter can. |

I was going to buy from another one of the non big ticket manufactures but could not get a simple email response. EA and Griffin both regularly contribute on the forum here and are very helpful. Plus they take time out to share their knowledge which is really cool and interesting. Take a look at post #44 in the following thread link. It shows how an EA can is repaired. It convinced me that I needed more EA cans in my life. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/Front-fell-off/20-548592/ |
