Hello All,
I recently decided to take the plunge and put an RFB on order from my local LGS. Luckily, I have about 8 months left in Afghanistan...which probably lines up with the wait time on an RFB pretty well. SO, I thought I might as well get started on the suppressor idea I had as well. Need some help hashing out the details though.
Anyone tried to suppress one? I like the idea as even an 8" suppressor would only make the OAL about 35"...and I want to suppress a .308...and I think it might be allowed for hunting in Alaska...woot!
Anyhow, any suggestions? My current situation (needing to keep Household 6 happy) requires me to:
1. Keep it under/at ~$600-800+stamp
2. HAS to be a long life on the thing. I want this to outlast MY KIDS. I know nothing is forever, but you know...I don't want crap.
3. Preferably 5/8x24 threads as the RFB comes standard with those, if I have to get a new flash hider, oh well. I'll bite the bullet for a better db reduction
Any ideas or right areas to start looking? I heard that I might have to get a new gas trap (I think thats the right term) for the RFB as it vents gas or something, making suppressing it hard. Any info?
I would ideally get the paperwork started here in Afghanistan after my trust is made, but we'll see. I might put it in in June when I'm on leave.
Thanks!
