Does anyone have any scoop in the Yankee Hill Phantom 7.62 supressor? I am thinking of getting one due to its availability and cost as well as quick disconnect feature.
Can anyone advise?
Make sure you get it from someone who has it. The last five took 6 months to get. Sound quality of the can is great for the price. No complaints on the silencers that went out.
I have one with QD attachment. I use it on 2 AR15's, an AR10, FAL, M1A,2 single shots, & and my 308 bolt gun. It is not the quietest or the lightest, but I like it and have no complaints. I bought it because it was on the shelf and ready to transfer directly to me. I would probably have rather had the AAC 762SD because it is a lot lighter but I did not want to wait.

Actually thats wrong. Side by side tests here at our range..... with 2 308 bolt guns both with 18" barrels. I tested my 762SD vs Phantom. Phantom was noticeably more quiet to my ears and my buddies.

might be true if you have an early non-stainless steel phantom. The stainless steel phantoms have a larger bore. read the review (using a db meter) at silencerresearch.com
THanks for the input fellas. It sounds to me like anything is a toss up if your guns threaded wrong or you get a bad can.
I purchased it and filed my papers. I just don't think you can beat it for the money. Also it is my understanding that all cans have to be OSHA approved with a decible reduction great enough so as not to need hearing protection. Maybe that's a myth but, If OSHA is involved I'll bet it's quiet enough for my instructional and recreational needs.
Thanks fellas.
