    This thread makes me think I should go with the mini 762, probably will unless I can get a 300 sps for a good amount cheaper

    I haven't seen a SOCOM762-RC baffle stack cutaway/xray. But it would definitely be interesting to compare it to a Saker/Omega which is known to sound very nice with 300blk subs.

    Very nice.

    To update. I just picked up my 300 SPS on Tuesday. I plan on shooting both the 762-RC and 300 SPS side by side with am Omega and a Saker on Sunday.

    I have an SF socom mini 7.62 in jail right now, I am sure it will be good for .300blk, not so sure for 7.62x51.

    Just subsonic 300blk. 9" and 10.5" uppers.

    Update:

    I got out Sunday and tested the 300 SPS, 762-RC, and Omega. I didn't get a chance to test the Saker.

    All were 9" 300blk uppers (BCM for the Omega, and AAC for the SF suppressors), and I used SiCo Harvester subsonic ammo (both the 208 and 220gr).


    762-RC: Horrible, as previously tested. It is laughably loud with Subs, like a unsuppressed 22lr. I can not recommend a 762-rc or 762-mini for anyone wanting it for 300blk SUBS. The 762-RC and 762-mini were designed for full power military loads, and sound great on 300WM, and 7.62x51. I use 762-RC on my LMT MWS, and it sounds fantastic with 308 and 6.5CM.

    Omega: sounds really good for a 6" suppressor (running direct thread, with the FLAT endcap). It would be my overall choice for length, lightweight and sound reduction.... It had a higher pitch then the 300 SPS, and was deemed louder than the 300 SPS by all shooters and bystanders..... it still sounds really good (comparable to an AAC Cyclone), and is the dedicated suppressor on my wife's 9" SBR. With an H3 buffer, I had no malfunctions and ejection was right at 4:30.

    300 SPS: A nice sounding suppressor. It had a deeper tone than the Omega, which may have helped with sounding quieter as they both meter within a db or 2 of each other. The 300 SPS was bought to replace the 762-RC on my personal 9" SBR, and has filled that role nicely. I would like to try it against the 762-RC on the AR10 and see how it does with full power supersonic loads. I'm hoping to use it as a backup in that role.

    Unfortunately I wasn't shooting at low light, and can not comment on which had better flash reduction/NVG signature.

    Bottomline: if you are a SF fanatic or you require a QD mount (go 300 SPS), for everyone else, I think it is really hard to beat the Omega in terms of length/weight/sound reduction and overall versatility.

    Ive shot my 300 SPS next to a friends 762 mini on both 16 inch 556, 11.5 556 and 18inch 308. The 300 SPS won everyone. Ive shot my 300 on a 10.5 300blk some and it was quiet but Im not a big dude on the blackout so I cant say much. If I was to have one suppressor it would be a 300 SPS.

    I am buying a 556 socom at some point here only because I do not like having to switch out suppressors on the range. I like to put one on a gun and leave it.

    Does the 5.56 Mini/SOCOM look this way, too, do you know?

    I believe this is the 556-RC.
