I have researched this quite a bit but am still a novice when it comes to suppressors. I am looking for an entry level 30 cal suppressor to use in my 300blk, and 5.56. I do realize that suppressors should be considered a lifetime purchase so cost should be factored as an investment, rather than a pure price buy. That said, I am really looking at an entry level suppressor that can be had for $600-1k top end all- in, including stamp but excluding cost of mounts ( I realize I'll need to swap out my AAC 18t and a2 on my rifles). Ideally, the cost would be on the low end of the above range but I am trying to be realistic. Does such a thing exist?
My rifles don't get shot a lot simply because of work and family priorities, so it will likely never see hard use. 100-300 rounds per rifle per year is typical for the foreseeable future. |

That looks like it might hit the mark. How does it sound? Silencer Shop Link I haven't shot mine yet as it is still in jail. 
Here is the Silencer Shop video though. ymmv

I am a big fan of the AAC Cyclone; great bang for the buck.
AAC is supposedly bringing back the 762SD(?) not to be confused with the ever popular 762SDN6; which for a long time had very good reviews. The 762SDN was my first choice but they had stopped producing it when I made my purchase. Other great cans are the Liberty Freedom or Victory. SAS Arbiter and the very popular Thunderbeast Arms 30P-1 take a look at SRT also; I've heard good things about his cans |

You might want to wait a little and do some research on the AAC 762SD (not the N6). According to reports from the SHOT show, AAC is re-releasing it. It will accept the 51T mount, and will be a tad longer and heavier (I think 22 oz) than the N6. Supposedly, a db or two quieter. Since it's basically a QD Cyclone, I'm guessing price at some place like Silencershop will be around $750. Whatever happened to that YHM LTA? Has it ever come in stock anywhere? That would be an even better deal.

I've got the YHM 7.62 Phantom QD. I run 308, 300blk, 7.62x54r, and 5.56 through it. It's definitely a heavy piece to add to the front of your rifle, but it locks up nice and tight. I've never had a problem with it ratcheting itself off or anything. I can shoot 5.56 through it without hearing protection pretty comfortably and that's quiet enough for me.
When it comes to subsonics, the 300blk sounds like a racking cough and .308s from my bolt gun are just a puffing sound. |

I just got a YHM Phantom M2 for $$850 all in including stamp and an extra mount. They are heavy as shit but have decent suppression and at a great price point. Silencer Shop had them for $591 last time I checked. This. Also look at the SpecWar in your price range. What dealer are you going to go through? |

I have a few class 3 dealers local to me (Philadelphia suburbs) |
