What are some solid suppressor choices for a AI AW 308 26"?
The two I own are the TBAC Magnus Hub (I own the full-size, no brake version) or an Otter Creek Hydrogen L. Former is more HD, latter is lighter. They test similarly in TBAC’s 2024 Suppressor Sound Summit.

TBAC offers the Magnus in their SR mount if you want secondary retention.

Also own the Banish 30, but the two above are better.

TBAC will clean your can once a year for free, and Otter will do so whenever you want. You pay shipping.

Hard to go wrong with a TBAC, that said the Abel stuff is solid too if you don’t want the wait.

Looking for some recommendations on factory ammo for 308. AI AT 20in barrel. What should I try? I know federals with 175smk and 168smk. What else? Hornady 168 ELD, etc.

Thanks
Hornady Black has been pretty accurate for short range stuff for me as well. Fgmm has always been solid as already suggested by others. I haven’t had great luck with the eld-x or Hornady match stuff personally.

Some of us live in unfriendly areas and have to use a brake.

We take turns trying to produce the largest blast adjacent to our position.
If I ran a brake, I would have have custom left/right shutters on it. Someone bugging me on the right? Close the left shutter and he gets MAX IRRITATION.

I live in a libtard state as well. Can’s are prohibited. I can tell when the shooters next to me get irritated as shit when I shoot with a brake. But I know they won’t tell me shit. But what they don’t seem to realize is that they shooting with a brake as well. The difference is, I don’t flinch when their brakes blast. Cause that what I expect at the range. And I do double up (comtac VII in earplug mode with 3m classic foamies) cause well, it is a shooting range. So if someone at the range gives me shit about it, “bruh!, double up. Or stop being a pussy. It’s a shooting range!” Now if cans was available and legal here where I live. And shooters around me is using a can. And I’m using a brake, that’s just barbaric, poor, and selfish. Cause I wish I could run cans on all my firearms if I could.

Agreed. If I could own a can, I would have a few of them for sure. Where I live, everyone has a brake, so people are pretty cool about it. Quite frankly, the blast doesn't bother me. I double up on hearing protection as well.

In my area, there are a lot of FUDDS that are pussies about it. They generally keep to themselves and whisper to each other. I always enjoy the AR-15 shooters that bitch about the blast. They think nothing about pelting you with their brass, though. That is different...LOL

Ya in Illinois where I’m at, it’s only getting worse. Absolutely cannot buy semi auto rifles, no cans, no mags over 10 rounds, the list goes on. The way around it, is to get your FFL and SOT. I got mine all done in about 3 months, and I can get a can in about 3 days….its so sweet. It’s the best thing I’ve done in a while. Shooting, especially by myself is so much more pleasant.

When you shoot does your ballistic app compensate for the 2 yards closer your muzzle is to the target 😎

Silly question, but what cleaning rod do you use to clean that 48" barrel?

LOL! It’s a 36”!!! But I’ll be using a Boretech. I’ve never tried 33XC, but going to give it a go. A muzzle brake may actually be the smarter move with it. Idk yet, I shoot 300 prc and 300 norma through it normally, I just got the barrel a little while back after I forgot about getting it chambered. I haven’t bought dies or anything yet, maybe I should get on that..

Maybe that’s why I can’t hit squat…ya that’s definitely the issue…😂

Anyone have an idea on the writing on top of action ?

I just noticed it in this pic and will remove mount to see more

Also anyone know why there could be a possible check mark on top of bolt ?


AINA = Accuracy International North America. I think this is back when they were in Virginia before they moved AINA to Mingus, TX.
