I have decided that my next silencer will be a .30 cal. I plan to use it on my 7.62x39 AR and also get a 7.62x39 barrel for my encore rifle with a 1 in 8 twist for 220 gr subsonics. I have it narrowed down to these two choices and was wondering if y'all have any opinions. It will be a thread mount can because it will be used almost exclusively on the Encore, so QD isn't a necessary feature.
Thanks |

I went with the HVT. The main reason for my choice was that it was 300 win mag rated. I own a 300 that I want to get out and shoot more often and I figured the can would help with the recoil and muzzle blast. Also I shoot a lot of AR's so naturally I went with the QD version. The bilock is absolutely sweet. It is so quick and easy to attach and remove the suppressor. You may want to rethink the QD feature, I went that route because it will be a while before I can afford to buy a designated .556 suppressor and I can currently use my HVT for all my rilfes. Unscrewing a hot suppressor that is threaded and transferring it to another weapon that you wish to shoot can be tedious at best.
I have not yet had a chance to shoot with it, due to being busy at work and crappy weather conditions, but I cannot wait to try it out. I'll try to remember to post my results here when I do. |

If you truly decide that you do not want a QD suppressor, I would not go with the HVT rather I would get the sand storm...it is barely over 13 ounces which is way lighter than the HVT and is still 300 win mag rated in case you decide to run some real heat down it. Also as stated above SWR makes some great thread on cans as well as ops inc. I'm not a huge AAC fan but for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of their products. |

I got the HVT to shoot on my Rem 700 LTR, Yugo M70AB2, and various AR-15's. I got the QD model, and am very happy with it. For my Rem 700 LTR I had Gemtech thread and attach the Tension style Bi-Lock and it does a very good job. Granted the 700 has had some work done - lapped, trued, trigger @ 2lb crisp. With the suppressor on or off it keeps sub MOA at 100 with 4-16 scope. POI change is just a bit over 1" directly down comparing unsuppressed to suppressed. If you go the Quicksand route (HVT QD made out of titanium) or the Sandstorm route (HVT threaded made out of titanium) you could get rid of most (if not all, depending on the host) of the POI change from the weight added by the suppressor. A gentleman did some 400 yard work and posted his findings - something to the tune of less than 1/4" poi shift with the sandstorm attached.
That being said - I prefer the HVT over other offerings. The only other suppressor I would consider would be an OPS 12th in 7.62. I didn't go that route because I had so many hosts - just adding a bi-lock flash suppressor was easier than contouring all of the barrels. Hope this helps =) |

( Photo in the gemtech industry forum pic thread ) It's spooky quiet, even with supersonic target loads. the HVT would get my vote since it's probably been improved since then if not only slightly. I do not shoot subsonic .308 however as i have no need. It should not be hard to find someone who has one of each, and to hear them youserlf. Make your choice based on that, and unbiased research and you will be good to go. |

I own a gemtech HVT silencer, the bilock is awesome. Its a lot faster/better then the ratcheting screw on type "QD" silencers.
When your using high power rifle with Supersonic ammunition, the silencer only has to reduce muzzle noize below bullet flight noize. The noize reduction difference dont mean much. |

Thanks for the info AAC Shill... Quoted: Quoted: ...the bilock is awesome. Its a lot faster/better then the ratcheting screw on type "QD" silencers. Arguable- the bilock also has internal moving parts that can get carbon-ed up and really lock up. Here's a little something from M4C:

The bilock can be cleaned, its quiet to snap the silencer on, you also have repeatable POI shift. Try to put an AAC silencer on without making a shitload of noize or POI shift because its not the same ammount of clicks. AAC makes some good silencers but I dont like their "QD" mounts. If im looking for a screw on I'll consider one of theirs. |

Screw it on as far as it will go, that will be the same number of clicks every single time. Also, if you don't want it to make noise, just hold down the release button while you screw it on. |
