Surefire SOCOM 300 SPS

Sorry to bump, but didn't want to start a new thread.

Anyone know if these would work on an ak or is the clearance too tight?

I'm buying a mini556, and want a 2ND can for my 300blk with occasional use on another 556 or ak, and possibly a 308 bolt down the road.

It fits. On the AK muzzle device mounts (I have a Warcomp on a standard AKM) the base protrudes enough from the front sight so there is no clearance problems. On the AK74/AK100 style front end, there is even more clearance with the flash hider mounts. From the sampling of Surefire SOCOM muzzle devices I have, and the others I have seen, the engineering is done right to allow sufficient clearance for whatever host they designed it to fit. AKs aren't the best silencer hosts, but it does work fairly well. I have a 762 mini in jail now, and that was designed around the AK, so I am excited to see how it works in comparison.

Thanks, I'm getting a 556mini, and a 308 can eventually, trying to figure out if I should stay with socom or go with a different brand for 308. I was also going to make a 30pblk, but now thinkng just thread the ak.

I think going with 1 mounting system is always a better solution.

After thinking about it, I agree. Hopefully they come out with a short version before I buy.

I'm going to assume the 300 SPS is good to go on a 16" .308? Plan to run it on my 9" 300 BLK and on a 16" AR10 and a 16" Ruger GSR. Predominantly on the 300 BLK but it will also see use on both of those .308s.

100% gtg on 16" 308. I was told by Gary at silencershop that it's gtg on 12.5" 308.
