It can certainly be done, and velocity will suffer of course.
Since you mentioned suppressed, you're biggest hurdle will probably be making sure your chosen suppressor is rated for .308 out of such a short barrel, not all of them are. |

A short barreled .308 is a bit of a flame thrower. Be sure to check with the Silencer Co and ask about the useage

If short for a 556 is less than 10.5 for most suppressor why would 12.5 be a problem in .308? Just asking. The suppressor is an old swr omega 30. Minimum Barrel Length: 5.56 10" 300BLK 8" 762 NATO 16" Magnum 20" |

maybe that's what Gersh Kuntzman fired when he wrote his famous article? It could explain how he was nauseated by the smell of burning powder, and the recoil was so strong it gave him PTSD

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Bigger cartridge = more powder = more gas volume and pressure curve increase as barrel shortens. I can't find info about the minimum barrel length for the old SWR Omega, but here are the specs for the newer Silencer Co. Omega, for a comparison: Minimum Barrel Length: 5.56 10" 300BLK 8" 762 NATO 16" Magnum 20" |

We have a 12" AR10 308 machine gun that we regularly take to NFA demos of over 100 shooters. 10k+ rounds so far and it has not had 1 malfunction. We do not run this suppressed. If running unsuppressed I recommend a highly effective muzzle brake (we use an SLR BCF). If you want to run suppressed you may have issues finding a silencer that carries a warranty on anything under 16".
