I am just concerned I will get it and it won't live up to my expectations and it is still a lot of money to me to spend again on sometime I hate (the AAC). Do you know of any suppression #'s on it with 300BLK or ~20" .308 barrels? |

Have you looked into the Specwar or Saker?

SF cans are well regarded from what I can gather, I just don't know if they're worth the price, even at $900 for the Mini when you're concerned about sound suppression. |

Of more concern to me is the mounting system than sound suppression. My 762SD sounds great but the 18T mount is horrible for anything but plinking. A couple of db's isn't a huge deal to me but I know where you are coming from. |

The Saker will be quieter on 308 than the 762 mini, but is not a lot longer than the mini (7.5" vs 6.2"). I haven't played with the SF mounts, but the Saker mount is absolutely rock solid and it's about the same price as you're seeing for that mini.

That's a good price for that can, but it's a grossly overpriced can. For the same or even more money, I would get a Saker.

I wouldn't get it personally.
I just wasn't impressed at all with the SOCOM 556's performance: http://www.silencershop.com/video/surefire-socom-556-rc-performance-test/ I get their objective was probably just to get it right at 140dB and then focus on other stuff, but honestly I just don't see the benefits over other suppressors, at least as a civvie. This is how another suppressor does: http://www.silencershop.com/video/aac-556sd-performance-test/ Disclaimer that dB readings can vary a good amount if not done in the same session, even if by the same experimenter under the same methodology. But that's still a pretty big gulf. I assume the 762 has about the same baffle design so I'd worry about its performance, especially the mini. But I am biased since I just paid for a Saker 762 a couple days ago. |

My SF 762 mini is rock solid I wanted the mini to ride on a lmt mws for the for the wight savings was key for me and sound reduction second. this was a hunting/LR range gun. to me after its all said and done im happy with it and im looking for a 762 RC to go with it as for the use with black out I found this [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXqYA0Q_FwY[/youtube]

I found what I think is a steal on this can and while I shouldn't spend the money would I be a fool to pass it up? I plan on using it on 300BLK and limited .308 (20" barrel). While I realize it isn't as quiet as the RC no supersonic ammo through a can is that quiet to me. My quick take: We know that the 556 RC is somewhat of a compromise on sound already. I have one, run it on SBRs, and am happy to trade a few dbs for weight, mount, POI, etc. I've seen people that run the 7.62 mini on on 5.56 SBRs suggest they are a bit disappointed in the sound results. I imagine you'd find the same on BLK - where sound reduction is a huge part of the equation - and probably on your .308. Silencer Shop has the full sized 7.62 RC right now for $1,210. These are still probably louder than peers. SF is currently testing a .300 BLK designed can. Don' t know if it will work on .308 as well. I'd go full size 7.62 RC, or 7.62 Saker if I were you, but you have to decide what is best for you. |

But I am biased since I just paid for a Saker 762 a couple days ago. I was watching some of the videos. One thing I noticed is the unsuppressed readings were about 2 db higher than most of the other cans tests. It seemed to avg. about 28 db reduction vs the 33-34 of the SiCo cans. So still louder, but that extra two db brings it a little more in line. |

Thanks for the input but I decided against another suppressor and got an 11.5" BCM KMR upper instead.
