So I'm dyin over here waiting for my AAC 762-SDN-6 .30 cal can to get out of NFA jail lol (3/10/16 check cash date). I got it primarily for .300 blackout but I'm also going to see how it does shooting .223 out of it (both calibers on an AR platform).
With those two calibers in mind, any tips you seasoned guys have for getting one or both quiet? (I don't reload btw, a friend will do some .300BLK loads for me but most of what I shoot will be something I can buy).
Any particular factory ammo loads you like?
Any particularly quiet brand of AR buffer/spring?
Any particular adjustable gas block?
Barrel length? I think for a comfortable OAL I'm going to do an 8.5" .300BLK barrel with the 6" can.
Haven't built the .300BLK setup yet, still gotta get to it. I have a Sig M400 SBR lower that I was planning to just rebuild an upper for, but I also have a Crusader SBR lower that is still stripped.
I know there's loads of information out there, I just want to know what you guys think since it will be some first hand knowledge.
