I am a suppressaholic. 762SD purchase. Updated with 762SDN6 comparison

[Eurodriver]

I hope I made the right choice over the SDN6. After reading Major Malfunctions decibal tests, it appears I did. I will not be using this suppressor for full auto fire on an 8" barrel so I don't think I will have any issues with the stainless steel baffles.

Normally with NFA items that I am going to keep for a while (forever) I spend the extra cash and get the latest and greatest but I strayed from that this time. I hope I won't regret it.

By the way, I bought it from Silenced America. Scott is a fantastic guy and I would recommend him to anyone. Just give him a call, you'll see what I mean.

Edit: I have (3) suppressors now that I have bought and paid for but are still in some stage of waiting on ATF approval. Ridiculous.

Edit 2: I felt instead of just commenting that I bought a new suppressor, I would bring relavent technical discussion to the forum as well. I chose the 762SD over the N6 for 3 reasons and price was not one of them. In fact, if I ordered the N6 from Silenced America it would have only cost me $100 more over the 762SD.

Reason 1 is that although the 762SD is about 1.25 inches longer, it actually weighs about 1/2 an ounce less than the N6.

Reason 2 is that I will not be using this on an 8" barrel in full auto, so having all the baffles made out of inconel is not an issue.

Reason 3 is the numbers that are coming out of Major Malfunction's tests. In every test, with three different calibers on three different platforms the 762SD is quieter than the N6. All the pics are from Major Malfunction and are hosted at the sites linked below the pics:

I know what you mean. I figured I would get one can and use it on all my guns.

Then I decided it was overkill for my M&P 22 so I am waiting on the stamp for a dedicated .22 can.

Then I decided the original can would stay on my SBR all the time. So I am waiting on a Surefire can for my other two 5.56 guns.

Then I picked up a .300 AAC barrel in a trade and am ordering an SDN-6.

And I recently picked up threaded barrel for my M&P really cheap so I am researching 9mm Cans.


Hell everyone. My name is Kevin and I have a problem..

Well ill be the first to say that my name is Matt and I will help you two share the burdens of that problem. I'll be your life coaches. We will introduce a weaning program. I will make up for time while you guys slowly heal. Or just think green mile for method two.

I feel your pain as I also have 3 cans in various stages of transfer.

My SOT will be receiving a TBAC 30P-1 tomorrow for my 8" 300 BLK upper. I sent off the Form 4 for a 22Sparrow last month so I'll have two that will be in transit. I've never heard either in person.

I think I have an issue also. After I got my Alpine, and before even gettting to fire it, I went and ordered a Sparrow, an Osprey, and a Tirant.

they are all in some form of fashion in the paper work stage. I then SBR'ed several rifles. Since that has been done, I've been trying to thread all my barrels to every weapon I have.

It's become a sad state. Hopefully it will be like christmas in the near future. Now I have to figure out which 5.56 suppressor I want or will I go with a 7.62.

There are so many depressing decisions when you don't have all the money in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that sounds extremely similar. The only rifle I own that isn't threaded is a Marlin 336!

You know what you want to do. Go ahead and get both.

I purchased one about a week ago. It will be about 4-5 months before the form 4 gets approved (hopefully!!). I am planning on using it on a 10" 300 AAC. I was really torn between this and the 762 SDN-6 model. I hope I made the right call on my choice.

I also may use it on a 6.5 Grendel, 5.56, and .22LR if possible in the future.

[aziator]

Yep, right there with you. I already own an 18T 762SD but I just ordered a SDN...

Hey--I'm new here and WANT to be a suppressaholic. I've just got to get my trust figured out and then I can start boozing it up with a SF Mini, I think. And then?

I called to place my order for my M4-2000 and then somehow ended up buying an AAC Pilot because it was only $300 ($500 with the stamp). I would recommend it to anyone else ordering their first suppressor as well.

Everyone needs a .22LR can.

[Stangman]

It's a good thing that I'm in the process of getting my business off the ground & spending money on that, or else Mary at the ATF would really getting a workout from me calling

[Tootsies]

Scott is a good guy
