I have an 8 inch Noveske AR15 rifle chambered in 300 AAC Blackout and I'm in the market for a suppressor in the $1k and under price range. This suppressor will be used specifically for this rifle and cartridge combination, no others. I'm primarily concerned with sound reduction and weight, but of those 2 specifications, sound reduction is more important to me.

I've done a bit of research on the AAC website and this forum and I don't really know which suppressor meets my needs. I was dead set on the SDN-6 until I saw the performance numbers posted by another member on here. Now I'm not sure which suppressor has the best sound reduction in the AAC lineup in this price range for my gun. I have the AAC Blackout FH with the 51 tooth adapter so I want to purchase a silencer with the 51T ratchet mount system. Any help in clearing my confusion would be appreciated.

It really is a toss up between the 762SD and the 762SDN6. I doubt you could go wrong either way as both are great silencers.

From what I'm hearing from my close friends in the industry the 762SD will be a little quieter, but in all likelihood it would not be very noticeable. The N6 has advantages in that it will be shorter and more durable due to the all inconel construction. Seeing as how you have an SBR you may like the compactness of the N6 over the SD. Both use the 51T mount that you have on the gun.

Go handle both, and if at all possible hear both before making your decision. Either way I think you will be happy.

You may want to consider an AAC Cyclone 762. It is thread-on, but has better numbers than the SD's.

Thanks for the replies. I realize that my FH will only attach to an AAC ratchet mount suppressor, but if I remove it that should give me the ability to purchase any thread mounted suppressor. Are there any other suppressor manufacturers worth my time? What about pistol suppressors? Would a pistol suppressor stand up to the 300 blk supersonic pressure in a semi automatic rifle?

No, pistol suppressors will not stand up to supersonic 300 BLK rounds.

Manfacture rates the Liberty Mystic as 300 BLK supersonic compatable.

Ok, with the exception of the Mystic. All the others would be a bad idea.
