    SBR to compliment a Precision Bolt Rifle in your gear

    You would be wrong then, .30cal can yield better performance on ARs.

    New upper build... adjustable gas block or fixed?

    Always AGB, superlative or slr.

    SBR to compliment a Precision Bolt Rifle in your gear

    Depends on what you want to spend too. The 5.56 is a better all-rounder but 11.5in is as short as I'd go.

    Suppressors DD wave

    The DD Wave has nothing going for it. Weight, length, attachment, and suppression are all sub par. Not just for the cost but in general. The Delta P on the other hand is pretty slick for the size/weight.

    Ballistic Advantage barrels?

    If they are on sale for <$200, then BA can be a good deal. Otherwise there are better options.

    AR 308 receiver - what's the best?

    Seekins set is pretty awesome too.

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    Here is the ARFCOM thread referenced above: https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/OSS-HELIX-QD-Suppressors-Anyone-have-one-/20-490380/&page=6 Mikesmith's laughable marketing BS dispelled there by multiple people. Also lots of metering data linked. Suffice to say, my point stands.

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    But that is the thing, I DO have graphs and pics and videos as shown above, and all show the performance to be sub-par on larger calibers (like .308) with shorter barrels, and AR15s (for the length and weight), and bolt guns especially. Your subjective experience with some old cans is an...

    Then you know neither the definition of opinion, nor have any evidence to support your claims. Just as I indicated.

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    If you think a 10db+ difference at the muzzle is a matter of opinion, you need to look up the word opinion. If you think an OSS can makes a DI AR with an AGB last longer or have less felt recoil than a Dead Air Nomad or something similar, I'd like to see any evidence at all to support this...

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    If you read my comments ITT, you'd already have the explanation. This isn't about muzzle vs. ear readings. At the ear is what matters. But when the muzzle readings climb about ~145db, the splashback means the shooter will actually experience a secondary SPL (from muzzle) that is louder than...

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    chager23, that is just straight up wrong. They are certainly loud at the muzzle as shown above, which when you go over 145db means it is WAY louder to the shooter. They are also louder than an AR with a better more traditional can and an AGB. We aren't talking a few DB, on bolt guns we are...

    Need opinion/suggestion on a budget AR10 build

    Get a Criterion barrel, they are exceptional value and much more likely to provide sub-moa than BA.

    308 ar bang for the buck

    Nomad for sure.

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    A.) Hearing damage is cumulative, so I'd avoid shooting ANY suppressor without earpro for more than a few rounds. Anything over 85db will damage your hearing with enough exposure. 140db is just the limit for NO safe exposure. B.) Everyone's hearing is different, but meters don't lie: MAC got...

    Suppressors OSS HX-QD 762 - Anyone here have hands on experience?

    Depends on which piston gun. Some pistons like the PWS or SCAR are adjustable from "normal" to suppressed", while others like the FAL or RDB have 20+ gas settings. The more you can fine tune it the less useful the OSS will be. It also comes down to design, but that is really on a rifle by...

    Best factory SPR/DMR AR-15

    Tough choice. Build or have one built for you (by someone like Craddock or MSTN) is the obvious answer. But if you have to stick to factory it is a tough choice between the Seekins and F4. F4 has the better AGB and trigger, while the Seekins has a better receiver/handguard, stock and break...

    Looking for barrel with specific specs...

    CHF is a disadvantage, not an advantage. How marketing people managed to spin that around still amazes me. There are tons of great 10.5in options, if you are looking for pure durability I'd get a Triarc Track 2.0. If you want a bit more accurate too, I'd agree with strike33, have Craddock...
