I was looking at this suppressor on line at Silencer shop. They were claiming on a video how it was for multiple calibers (5.56-.308). I now shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor and starting a AR15 build. So I was wanting to hear from some how the accuracy was on this model
 
I say this as an owner of an AAC SDN6... please remember how AAC's parent company (The Freedom Group) has treated AAC personnel since the acquisition. While I am happy with my SDN6 (once I fit the 51T mounts), if I had to purchase a QD 7.62mm can today it wouldn't be an AAC product.

Just my $.02, and it may not even be worth that much...
 
FWIW, Thunderbeast Arms has their brake-attach line that has a great reputation around the Hide (Zak Smith, one of the principals at TBA, is EASY to find on this board and extremely helpful). There are plenty of good cans out there (one that seems to be a good match to the 762-SD would be the Silencerco Specwar 762), and the guys here on this forum are generally pretty good about providing information to help folks make an informed choice.
 
I bought the sdn6 as my first modular jack of all trades can. It is ok across the board but not great. The weight can throw off impact depending on barrel length. If I had it to do over again I would have gone with silencerco as I love their cans on my pistols
 
Para1505, with so much invested in the owning of a can, I wish I had done my homework before I bought my first 2. I bought 2 aac 7.62 cans as I didn't know any better and at that time my dealer didn't either. My aac cans were paper weights until lots of work was completed to make them better. Had to work on the mount on one and even that would not work with the other, so I had somebody weld the mount to the can making it a direct thread on. After all that, they can be used, but I will never trust them to take hunting where the shot really counts.

I bought a Thunderbeast and can't brag enought about it.

If you want to get together and do some shooting, I'll bring both and you can at least be informed.

Yup. The SDN-6 was the first can I purchased, and while I like it, I think that I'd be happier with a Saker 762 (alas, they weren't available when I bought the SDN-6). I hear ya on Silencerco... I find myself essentially using their products as the standard for comparison when looking at cans in general (ESPECIALLY after the merger with SWR).

That's not to say that I think that Silencerco/SWR cans are always the best for every situation, but *for me*, they are the standard by which others are judged in terms of price, features, sound suppression, and durability (ratings).
 
Icallam were are you located?


I came down about a year or two ago and we went down to some bottom ground and shot out to about 4-500 yards.

so to answer your question, I'm pretty close.

I am going to plan on going down to Rolling Hills on Aug 9 as they are going to have the range open prior to the shoot the next weekend. Are you going down there?
 
I have several AAC suppressors and have been happy with all of them. However, I will be looking at different brands in the future. I bought the 762-SDN-6 for a SBR 300BO. It works great on that rifle. I bought a 2nd 51T mount to use it on a 300BO bolt gun. It does not lock up like I would like it to. I also have a MK13-SD and can say that the 90T mount is far superior. The Silencerco Saker will be my next 30 cal purchase and it will go on the bolt 300BO. Side by side it is finished better, the demonstrations of the abuse it can take are impressive, to say the least, and it's rated for 300 UltraMag. I always use suppressors that are rated higher than required because I want to minimize the chances of wearing it out and going through the NFA process again.

While evaluating performance and value are first on my list, a final qualifier is who I am doing business with. AAC has gone from local guys to a far flung corporation. I have heard that there are plenty of changes coming beyond what the article referenced that don't make me feel comfortable. I feel this is unfortunate, and maybe a little sad. My own business philosophy does not intersect with what I have seen coming from The Freedom Group. It is worth taking the time to pour through these pages, and other forums, to see which manufacturers are in tune with their customer base and how they respond to them. This is why I have an Octane 9 sitting with my dealer right now, and am looking forward to the 223P-2.
 
I have the Specwar762 and run it on my SPR A1, LMT MWS and BCM 11.5 SBR. The can is a beast and has great suppression, but it is heavy at 24 ozs. Not an issue for prone shooting with a .308 but it gets tiring on the SBR. I am considering the 5.56 Specwar next.

On to your question, I would definitely try some cans before you buy and select the one that meets your length, weight and suppression needs the best. If I had to do it all over again, I would still get the Specwar though.
 
Just received my 762-sdn-6 a few weeks ago and used it on my 6.5 creedmoor.
I was worried about the lock up after reading a few posts, however my accuracy does not change with it on.
My POI did drop 3-4 inches depending on which load I use. My barrel is a 28" sendero, so I expected quite a drop.

So far I'm happy with it, I too bought it for a 300 blk and to shoot on some of my other rifles. I do have to go back and do some load development on my 136l load since its too hot with the can on the gun.
 
Stay away from AAC, overpriced, overhyped and underengineered shit.

For a do it all can, Look at the Griffin Arm Recce 7, Saker 7.62, Surefire 7.62 or the KAC QDC 7.62 if you can find that unicorn.

For the money the Griffin is very Hard to beat.
For Quality, the Surefire and KAC will not be beat
For utility, modularity and quality/value, the Saker is a very good choice.

Any 4 of those cans will serve you will. Just have to decide what you want/how much you want to spend.
