Quoted: Hey guys recently purchased a MCX Tacops, has the 6.75 barrel with faux SRD762. This build I'm going for maximum suppression/hollywood quiet with subs. I wanted some opinions and thoughts on what suppressor to mate with this gun, it'll be dedicated to this one only. Options I have been mainly considering are the .30 cal line of suppressors from sig and Q. I know I can't go wrong with the 7.62 stuff but what Im not sure about is if a .338 can would be even better(srd338/ultra9/other suppressors)? Nomad L is currently the quietest 300BLK can I’ve shot.

I have used a Dead Air Sandman K...shortest one at the time and definitely not Hollywood quiet. I went that route for shortest overall length and reasonably hearing safe. That is does very well.
I have run a AAC SDN6 on a 9" MCX Legacy and it was very good. Been a few years and I ran only a few mags through it. I used it along on my 9" AAC upper and it works great. I also ran a Griffin Armament Alpha (Paladin now) and it worked as well as the AAC SDN6. I bought that one to run one my Remington 700 300 blk using cast bullets...it is user serviceable. I was looking at adding a Dead Air Sandman L to the mix to use the same mount as my K and reduce the sound further. Then the new Nomad L came out....that is next on my list. Mike |

SRD338TiQD or Titan QD.
Volume kills. |

The Nomad L or CGS Hyperion are probably the quietest current 30 cal suppressors. They’re massive but probably wouldn’t be bad buried under the Tacops handguard.

That was mix n match day.
I didn’t notice any blowback, but I’m running the 9” barrel.

I have not heard a Nomad L and would definitely buy one, but the Sandman L is very quiet on a 300.

I will definitely check out the Nomad L, it looks like I need to compare it with the SRD/Full Nelson though. Do you have any experience with the .338 cans? Are the Nomad baffles that much better than a larger volume can. What I really want is a .30 cal can with a larger .338 baffle stack size.

I love the SIG cans, but they are being discontinued for the new ones coming out later this year. And the mounts won’t be backward compatible. Until I shot the The Nomad L, the SRD762Ti closely followed by the Thundrchicken were the best performing 300BLK subsonic cans. The Nomad is noticeably better. Again, nothing against SIG: I still shoot it the most. The Nomad L also has the benefit of being excellent for supersonic rounds as well. You’ll love the suppressed MCX. I shoot it three times a week at least. Waiting for more ammo to show up as we speak. |

I've had my eyes on Dead Airs Wolfman and am really likeing what I've read about the Nomad L. I have a feeling I'm gonna end up getting a Nomad L no matter what but now these 338 cans have my interest peaked too.
I think the Info I'm looking for is some first hand experience with a .338 can vs a .30 cal can. The AAC and TBAC 338 cans are 10"x1.8". They are definitely freaking huge. Gotta remember though the tacops has a 6.75" barrel which with one of those puts me right back at standard 16" carbine length. I'm sure the weight is noticeable but I can maneuver a 6920 in and out of SUV's so I'm not worried as far as length. However i am worried about those bigger cans being designed for much higher pressure rounds than .300blk subs, in theory that would have a detriment on sound reduction right? I just wanna hear 1 mag with one then the other lol. |

Look into the CGS hyperion. I bought mine to permanently live on a 6.75" MCX tacops. I think it's quieter than the Nomad L from what I've read and it already has the taper interface for the sig barrels. And they are only 680 bucks if you become a Gold NFA Review Channel Patreon supporter. It will also be lighter at the end of the day.

I'll have to compare the decibel readings for the nomad L and the Hyperion, do you know which one has a lower tone? The lower tone suppressors seem to "sound quieter". If you have any links/articles you could share it would be much appreciated.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hippies do you have any numbers regarding a .338 can on the MCX. I'm really interested in that but I can't find any metering numbers/video about it. https://m.facebook.com/SilencerShop/posts/1306846822669429 Forgot about the Ultra 338. An excellent option as well. Silencer shop got a 118 DB average. |

If you have any links/articles you could share it would be much appreciated. The Hyperion has a wild tone. Because of the crazy baffle stack, it has a ‘wooooosh’ quality to it which is super cool. Here is Alabama Arsenal’s video on it Link Alabama Arsenal has also reviewed the Nomad L recently and said on their Instagram that the Hyperion is probably quieter than the L, but it’s hard to tell. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pete are you using the "-" setting on the MCX with the Nomad L? I’ll need to get it out of jail again and test, but my memory is no. Subs are +. Supers are -. I’ll leave the MCX on + as a “ready” condition. The difference in Rattler +/- is a little more pronounced than the 9” Virtus. |

The difference in Rattler +/- is a little more pronounced than the 9” Virtus. Makes sense. Reason I ask was I saw you tested the Rex MG10 and had to go to + for subs to cycle, was wondering if it was an apples to apples comparison which sounds like it was. That's pretty awesome of the Nomad L to be noticeably quiet! The MG10 on my HB is super quiet, would be exciting to hear the Nomad L. Interestingly enough, I've noticed the HB to be much quieter than a LMT 300blk, wonder how the Sig vs HB compares? |
