New SIG silencer

[yugorpk]

Picked up my new Titanium/stellite SIG 762Ti thread on silencer over the weekend. Ive got one other 30 cal silencer. Its a QD silencerco Specwar. When I bought it the specwar it was the quietest silencer I had tried out of half a dozen or so of all the big names best silencers. The Specwar was just a little quieter than the rest at the time. Today I took out the SpecWar and the SIG can and tried them both out on a 300 BLK 7 1/2" SBR . The SIG can flat blew the SpecWar out of the water it was so much quieter. If there is a 30 cal can on the market that its makers claim is quieter I'd have to hear it to believe it. I'm very pleased with this one.

Nice.

Any idea how this would be cleaned given it's monolithic design?

ETA: curious what you think of their new QD mounting design as well (I know you chose thread on).

There is no need to clean a centerfire silencer. If it does get gummed up with some lead from shooting cast bullets , which it shouldnt given that when I do they are powder coated, A few mags of full power 308 will melt the deposits and clear the thing out . Ive put about 10K rounds through my specwar and its is sooty inside but thats about it. Cleaning a full power centerfire rifle can is totally unnecessary.

I dont like their QD design. the brake is too short and looks weird . Plus there is no brake that will allow the 30 cal can to work on .223 rifles. I got the thread on for its what appears to be best in class silencing ability but it is a big can. Good thing about it is that the actual bod of the silencer shell is only a few inches long. The rest is a welded together cone stack so if it gets a baffle strike they can cut the end off and weld new baffles on without having to charge me tax on a new silencer.

I agree that their brake insert looks strange - it is too short. The 3 prong flash hider isn't too bad though, but I think most QD muzzle devices look too bulky. Not sure what's up with the prongs on the end of the thread-on can though, while the QD can is nice and smooth.

Strange that they don't offer a converter to allow the 7.62 can on a .223. Maybe that's in the works?

I dont know what those prongs are for either ? Wire or rebar "cutter" ? Standoff of some sort to allow gas to escape to the side?

What is the db reduction for .300BLK that they advertise, do you know?

I just ordered the AAC 762-SDN-6 which from my research seemed to be one of the quietest. Of course I won't know for another 4-10 months lol.

I don't see Sig advertising any specific db reduction amounts, but youtube videos show a ~40db reduction from subsonic .300 BLK sbr's, hitting the low 120's.

Yeah, Its that good. On my 16" RARR its suppressed rimfire quiet.

Nice. The AAC 762-SDN-6 I ordered states 39db reduction on .300BLK. I've seen videos where the trigger reset was louder than the shots.

The Sig is sitting at the top of my list for suppressors after seeing this post - but those silly prongs on the thread-on version are just ruining it for me. And the QD version is both a) more expensive and b) not as quiet.

I think its so you can use it as a nail gun. OK , I have no idea why they are there. They arent quite prongs either. Flat on the end and the recesses are rounded. I think they might be to use a wrench on if you thread it on under the hand guard. It is a 6 flat pattern.
