300 BLK Suppressor Choice

[MrGiggles]

Hey folks, I'd appreciate any thoughts about picking a suppressor. I'm build an AR in 300 blk, 9" barrel, pistol length gas block. I'd rather not mess with an AGB, but I will if I have to. I did pick up a Radian Raptor-SD, hoping that helps. Plan is to shoot both subs and supers through the suppressor, so sub-only ones are out. Anyone have any recommendations? Weight is not huge factor for me, I care more about gas and overall suppression.

I was looking at the OCL Polonium 30 and the DD Enticer S. Both have a great price, they're about the same size and weight. Anyone have any experience with either of these?

As an added bonus, any recommended FFLs that handle NFA items in Indy? My usual guy doesn't.

I’m also building a 300blk sbr- waiting for the ingo lower group buy to submit that lower for a sbr stamp.

I went with a q trash panda. @Aszerigan recommended the q thunder chicken but in the spirit of sbr I opted for the little bit shorter can. Feel free to shoot him a message as he’s a great guy- full of helpful info/experience and a nfa dealer.

Just to be clear I haven’t shot my 8.5” 300blk upper with the trash panda yet as I’m waiting to stamp/build the lower.

HM Defense 300 Blackout Integrally Suppressed Upper

Full thanks to @jagee that ordered this and allowed me to do a review. I've seen a lot over the years - suppressed this, newly invented that. Thirty five years collecting guns, fifteen years in the resale market and there's new stuff, better designs, better materials, but not a lot of change...

Go with integral and you only need 1 stamp. Fyi

I can't help much...

But are you sure you're getting a mid-length gas system on a 9" barrel?

Also - whichever route you go for a suppressor, I suggest getting one rated for supersonic ammo as well as to not potentially hamstring usage in the future and/or with other hosts.

Ah, my mistake! It's pistol length. I was going off memory, good catch!

 

[MrGiggles]

And yep, I agree. Definitely want to be able to shoot both subs and sups. I was originally looking at the Rugged Obsidian 9, but the subs-only limitation wasn't gonna work.

I can't be much help on suppressors, but I'd really recommend an adjustable gas block. They're not that expensive, very easy to install, and very simple and intuitive to adjust. It'll save you a ton of headache and give you the ability to run all combinations of supers/subs and suppressed/unsuppressed. I'm a very bare-bones type when it come to my AR's, and don't want to mess with any "upgrade" that isn't a necessity, but for 300 BLK in particular, an adjustable gas block is almost a must, in my book.

Yeah, I've heard that a couple times now. It's definitely just laziness on my part, I should probably just get over it lol

Any 30 cal can will be rated for supers. I think only pistol cans would carry a subs only rating. Barrel length restrictions and firing schedules will vary from one suppressor to another and should be considered. I second the agb. No reason not to. Will the can do double duty on anything else?

Nope, it'll just live on that rifle! Maybe I'd think about putting it on a 5.56 rifle in the future? But that's not certain or happening any time soon.

I've enjoyed my Dead Air Sandman-S which I use for .300Blk and also .223/5.56, still waiting on a Rugged Alaskan sitting in jail.

 

[Aszerigan]

The Polonium is an amazing can. I've ordered them for people and seen them work. Very quiet.

All depends on the can. Newer "flow-through" designs don't need this.

Interesting, I didn't know that. All my 300 BO shooting has been without a can (so far, I'll make the dive into NFA items one day I'm sure...) so I'm mostly speaking on my experience of trying to get supers and subs to cycle reliably in the same gun, sans suppressor.

Definitely possible...and easier than you might imagine.

Huxwrx ventum 762

I've decided to see what the HuxWrx magic is all about. I have a ventum in NFA jail currently. Seems like with hub compatibility, this is a no brainer for semi guns. Anybody else bite on one of these yet?
