YHM or AAC Suppressor for my .308 and why?

[medium187mph]

Someone please chime in their experience or knowledge about both companies.

I have the cash and looking to purchase a suppressor for a .308

I'm looking to buy an adapter to run blackout and 5.56 also-

What I want to do is run a single suppressor through 3 rifles.... save the tax stamp and purchase the extra adapters.

I'm looking to doing the same thing. I'll be interested in the comments.
I'm leaning toward the AAC SDN-6.

Are you dead set on those two brands? Also depends on your priority requirements such as weight, size, sound reduction, QD type, etc.

It is not the be all end all, but the below Silencer Shop video comparing some popular 308 cans is a good place to start.

I have a AAC, because I liked there QD options and more important their muzzle breaks. I have enjoyed mine.


*edit* I shoot blackout through my 6 all day long.

I have a SWR OMAGA for my bolt gun and an AAC 762-SDN-6 for my 300blk out...

suppressors are like potato chips, you cant have just one !

AAC is going to be a tad quieter and perhaps lighter. the YHM will be cheaper.

I did something similar with the Surefire SOCOM 762. I really like their mounting system and they offer both flash hiders and muzzle brakes. Plus, the 762 will downward mount (on a 556) but the 556 won't mount on a 762 mount.

If the .308 rifle you are putting on is a precision rifle you'll be much better suited and a QD can. Direct Thread Thunderbeast ,and the AAC Cyclone will have minimal POI shift, thats the benefit of them being direct threaded. The Thunderbeast can's are simply put the best can for precision rifles, with AAC being second or third.

The disadvantage to QD can's is substantially more POI shift especially the AAC 51t mounts. Browse some forums and you'll see substantial amounts of posts from people with AAC 51t mounts and the can for lack of a better term wobbles or backs off the QD mount, it's well documented that this degrades accuracy. Of course the benefit of a QD can is the flexibility you have on mounting across multiple rifle platforms.

The Surefire mounts are 100% the best QD mounts on the market, however SilencerShop did a test on the .308 cans (see video above) notice how the said the Surefire can in the introduction would be in the tests, but there is no video of it? Well that's because it metered significantly louder than any of the other brands they didn't include it in the video. On AR15 they posted that the results were so bad they sent the can back to Surefire to see if their was a manufacturing error............nothing ever came of it, SilencerShop deleted the posts saying how bad it was and that it was sent back. Draw your own conclusions.
