Recommended suppressor for M1A?

[DeploraBill]

I searched this in past posts and surprisingly didn't see anything. I just purchased the Standard Issue M1A in .308. I would love to get it all decked out with a Suppressor. (only for Target shooting) Does anyone have any recommendations for a good suppressor?

Blasphemy!

Get an AR-10 and put a can on it...

Not being mean, I'm just a Fudd. To prove it, I replaced my plastic hand guard with a walnut hand guard.

Any .30cal suppressor would work. Some suppressors have slight differences in the pros & cons department so do you're homework.

I would recommend the Rugged Razor or the Rugged Surge. Rugged makes an awesome product and they have the best warranty in the business.

I have been using a .30 caliber Smith Enterprise suppressor on my M14s since 2006, it fits SEI's DC Vortex flash hider so it works on all of my rifles that have a DC Vortex flash hider including my 5.56 NATO Daewoo, and my 7.63x39 AK when I had it. SEI is located in Tempe, AZ

Yeah, sorry. Is that bad? I just thought it would be nice to deck it out with bells and whistles. But maybe you're right. Just put the can on one of my ARs instead of the M1A.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yep, I need to do some research.

You deny the M-21? Prepare to burn, heretic!

Yeah! I saw that write-up on the company and was intrigued! Thanks!

I was being a tad facetious. If it keeps you interested in firearms, paint the rifle pink.

I always think of a wood-stock M1A as a hat-tip to the M-14...the Scout and the Socom models more suited to tricking out. Again, do whatever trips your trigger!

The range at which I shoot is jam-packed with 7-14" barrel AR's with muzzle-breaks (I experienced 458-Socom a month back on a 7" barrel...woof was that loud), lot's of deer calibers, an occasional .338LM, all blasting away happily. Putting a can on a rifle for me is kind of pointless. I AM looking at a suppressed Scorpion or possibly a 300BKO pistol for the house...but for a full-length rifle, especially where I shoot on a public range, it's futile.

But is was the rack grade M14 the US military tricked out most often.

I know, I know...but my love for the M-14/M1A platform sprouted during one of the hundreds of viewings of Full Metal Jacket earlier in my life. The human brain is kind of funny that way? I'm looking at that picture of 26 scoped and canned thinking, my god those have to weigh 15lbs each!

 

[Blackfeather]

15 pounds is nothing!

Seconding Silencerco Omega 36, one of my close friends has it installed and pretty fond of it. Never really tried one myself, but doubt he would recommend something he's not 100% sure in.

Can you drop a link to him?

Sorry but what link are you referring to and to whom should I drop a link?

Where you can get acquainted with Rugged products.

Silencershop is a good start to legally buy a suppressor. Keep in mind that this is for US citizens and suppressors are highly regulated by the law and to acquire one there will be an extensive background check and a long waiting period (months) to receive a suppressor and only if you pass the background check.

Suppressor approval times are way down for Indvidual forms, longest i have waited for one is two weeks. most have been less than a week. The wait may be getting one in to buy, silencer shop stays sold out mostly on stuff. you have to get on the backorder list. i'm currently waiting for a SilencerCo Hybrid 46m and Huxwrk 7.62 and 5.56 Ventum. They do currently have the Omega 36 in stock but it won't last long. Silencer shop does make it easy to buy one. you need to find a dealer that has the Kiosk machine. none of the running all over the country to get pics and fingerprinted like in the olden days.
