Im thinking of getting a suppressor for my Barrett, I like the one Barrett has for their M107, but it appears to be unavailable to civilian sales. I have looked at other manufacturers but either they don't make them or are for bolt actions and not semis. Who else makes the semi 50 suppressors?
Thanks!

"We'd had customers order these silencers for Barrett, EDM, McMillan and AR50 and the feedback on sound reduction, accuracy and recoil is all positive.

Not recommended for use on the short barreled .50's, including the Barrett CQB."

Iraqgunz,
I looked at that, but they say designed for single shot and bolt action 50's?

Well, mines not a CQB, which, to be honest, I have never figured out the advantage of the shorter barrel on a 50, when your going for maximum range?

Portability. Working out of helo's and other vehicles.

I understand military use, I was thinking civillian use.

Ops Inc makes a 50 cal suppressor

I talked to the old guy behind Ops Inc at a Golden Corral in Orlando at the SHOT show about 5 years ago... He is the one who told me all about the 50 suppressors...

ETA: I don't have any personal experience with any 50 cal suppressor

There will be issues with a recoil operated .50. Ensure compatibility

He was obviously pushing his brand :)

It was 5 years ago so I don't remember the details. He and one of his "regional salesmen" were eating at the table next to us and had on their company hats or shirts or something and I had an eguns.com TShirt on so we struck up a conversation.

Ops Inc has a good reputation but I have no personal experience with them.

Several years back when I was in the Army, Barrett came to Ft. Benning with his .50's and they had some suppressors (old school technology). We fired them suppressed and unsuppressed.

I know I have seen some USMIL with them, but I am unaware as to the manufacturer. I'll see what I can find out.

Because barrel length only affects the muzzle velocity which in turn affects terminal ballistics and not accuracy.

I am fairly certain that the Barrett CQB 50 can still reach out and touch quite a ways.

Here's B&T's version for you.
Cant vouch for their heavy cans over .308, but their SMG cans run pretty well.

I fully understand that, but giving up velocity, does decrease energy.

That's true. But, remember you are shooting a .50 cal. and not a 5.56 or 7.62.

Good point 750 grains is going to hurt at just about any speed
