    Surefire 762 mini or socom 300 sps

    I'm thinking about getting a surefire can, I currently have a silencer tech thread on but would like to get a fast attach surefire since I have a 14.5 pinned with a socom brake and my 3gun rifle has the same brake. I am looking to get a colt 901 and put either a war comp or brake on it, and also considering a surefire flash hider to put on my faxon ARAK for 300 blackout. Does anyone have experience with both cans? I have another rifle build and a pistol build that will both be getting war comps so I'm looking for a jack of all trades can to share between some 556 guns, a 300 blackout shooting supers, and a 16 inch 308.

    I have a SOCOM762-RC, SOCOM556-RC, and will have my 300 SPS approved in about 2-4 weeks.

    I have never used the 762-mini, but can tell you from experience that the larger 762-RC is terrible with 300blk subs. It was not designed around the lower pressure curve. The 762-RC does sound really good with full power 308 and 300WM. I use the 556-RC on a 11.5" 5.56 AR, and that sounds pretty good. The 762-mini will obviously be a little louder due to the larger bore, but the external dimensions are the same.

    The 300SPS was designed specifically for 300blk and would be the better choice IMH0 if shooting subs.
    If you are going to be shooting the 308 and 300blk more often I would go 300 SPS. If OAL is more important, and you shoot 5.56 more often, then go mini.


    ETA: I voted mini, due to the fact you only mention 300blk supers.

    I'd be shooting 5.56 and 308 more than I'd be shooting the 300 blk, and it would only be supers. Yeah people like subs but mine is a 16 inch and I'd be shooting pigs with it and rather have that extra velocity than the wow it's so quiet factor.

    I have a 7.62 mini and my 300 sps should clear any day. My 7.62 mini lives on my 11.5" 5.56 mostly and my 300 SPS will mainly be used on two of my precision bolt guns.

    In your case, i'd honestly chop the SF brake and grab a Ruged Razor, Sandman S, or even an Omega. All 3 will be better suited for the multi use your looking for in my opinion.

    I'm sticking with surefire, the brakes they make are awesome and one is on a 14.5 so I don't feel like messing around with getting it removed. I'm not the type to run a can constantly on a rifle but having the option every now and then would be fun.

    My situation is similar to what you describe and i narrowed my suppressor choice down to these two as well.

    For me i ended up choosing the 300SPS; 300blk use is the primary reason for this, as it will pretty much stay on that rifle, but i still wanted the interchangeability between 5.56 and .308 as well.

    That being said, I voted 7.62 Mini in your case since youll be shooting 5.56 and .308 more than 300blk. Availability may also be another factor, my LGS has 7.62 Mini's stocked, but the 300 SPS has been on order for about 5 months now. Not to mention 5.56 warcomps have been back ordered for 2.5 months from optics planet as well.

    I'm looking at 7.62 Mini too. It would mainly be used on a Noveske 300BLK and an Arsenal 107CR. I'm looking at using the Warcomp flashhider on both rifles. The Noveske is a 10.5 and the Arsenal 107 CR will be cut/crowned/pinned/welded. What do y'all think?

    It's going to sound really bad with 300blk subs. I have the full size 762-rc and it is really loud with subsonics (the reason SF made the 300SPS).

    If you're only shooting supers, you are probably ok.

    Why would any given suppressor sound worse with subs than supers? No supersonic crack should be quieter, should it not?

    Fluid dynamics. The behavior of a gas at one temp/pressure does not replicate the behavior at a much higher temp and pressure. If the can is optimized by the engineers (using CAD and fluid modeling software) for a higher pressure, there is a chance lower end performance suffers.
