Suppressing an M1A?

[whiskerz]

Have you shot it with the AGB?

Yes I have. I adjusted the gun so it runs suppressed and barely runs unsuppressed. It seems a little smoother. Not a giant change but everything I have done has been incremental. I like it because I wanted one.

I run a sdn6 on a scout M1a. Very gassy but it works. Have to have an adjustable gas plug for it to run correctly. Still need ears though.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this

Oh yeah. Eye protection is a must! Much more enjoyable on my 700 aac sd.

Does anyone have an M1a set up with their can? I am looking at a scout model and the reviews I have read are all hit or miss.

Is it something you can do at home?
do you need a different gas system or components and are you able to shoot with and without the can reliably?

Bought a .30 can a few years back, perhaps biggest waste of money I ever spent on gun stuff. A .30 cal anything, to shoot suppressed, must stay below the 1100 fps ( or there about depending on elevation, temperature and humidity). That understood, a small .300 Blackout shoots the same bullets, at the same speed to be subsonic and has very near the same energy as a .300 win mag shooting suppressed. .300 Blackouts are getting real cheap, specially in AR uppers. If you want to shoot suppressed, I suggest you also reload, and the .300 Blackout uses less case capacity (powder) than the others.

IMHO - the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Sold my .300 blackouts (2), ammo went with it, dies went also. Can is rarely on anything but a .22 and isnt great for that either.

Sounds like you just had a bad day pal

Agree. Didn’t want to dip my toe back in but I disagree with everything he said. Everything.

It might be I just dont appreciate the capabilities of suppressed weapons. Haven't discovered a use for what I have experienced.
