I've been tossing around the idea of doing the paperwork and purchasing a supressor for my tactical .308.....I was wondering what the noise level is with your .308 suppressor with standard loads? Thanks

Rock,
You still get noise. But it is like a big whooosh instead of a bang. It takes the explosion and muffles it, then release it like a big discharge of air. So it sounds like you hit the button on an air blow off nozzle.

Also, there is the bullet noise that follows the bullet in flight. There is no way to suppress this noise.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Can anyone purchase a suppressor? What is involved? Do you have to fill out paper work like purchasing a rifle, or can you buy them over the shelf like a muzzle brake. Does a suppressor reduce recoil like a muzzle break or just elimate some of the noise? Can you have the same barrel threaded for a muzzle break and a suppressor?

I just put one on a 300rum.It takes alot of the noise out.I was very suprized about how much it took out.I'm not sure if it was intended to work like a brake but it dose.Me and another guy shot it 80 times and there was not any kick at all.My none braked 300Wm kicked 2times as much as it did.

To get one be prepaired to jump thru some hops and spend about 900$ on it.But when you do get it it can go on any gun of the same caliaber.I have one for a .308 and .22 and working on one for a 7mm
Oh and don't be cought hunting with it.That makes for a bad bad time.

TH,

Here is a link to info on the legality suppressors and NFA weapons:
* Liberty Suppressors NFA FAQ Page *

There is a $200 Federal Tax Stamp required for a suppressor. If you can pass a background check for buying a firearm, you should have no problems passing the background check for a suppressor. A suppressor would have to be transferred though a Class III Firearms Dealer.

BigDaddy,

Currently, here in MS we can hunt with suppressors. Every state has different laws.
