    Anyone else running a B&T SRBS762?

    Curious on your observations if so. Other can is a Nomad30. I have a limited knowledge and understanding on all things suppressor design related. My experience so far on short barreled .300BO is that I have far better sound reduction with the Nomad. I understand the B&T is a different design. Initial observations only as I have not had the time to field test it at various distances etc.

    The SRBS is a flow-through design, which in basically all cases reduces total suppression effectiveness to minimize backpressure & otherwise affecting the cyclic rate/gas-to-face/recoil systems of the host weapon.
    Especially with super short SBR's, using a 'traditional' sealed suppressor design significantly increases backpressure within the weapon's action, which in turn makes it behave similarly to firing overpowered ammo. Higher recoil, propellant gases out of the ejection port, increased bolt speed/cyclic rate on FA, etc. In more serious cases it can be enough to actually damage the weapon. There are ways around this, like adjustable gas blocks on ARs or KNS pistons on AKs, but that involves having to switch settings or configurations to reliably function both suppressed and unsuppressed.

    Flow-through designs like the HUXWRX and SRBS etc are intended to provide decent suppressor performance with minimal increases to backpressure, so no gas system or action changes need to be made to accommodate firing suppressed or unsuppressed with similar ammo.

    If you want max suppression from .300BO, especially with subsonic rounds, a traditional suppressor like the Nomad-30 is usually far more effective. If you have both cans, I'd make your preferred .300BO launcher the permanent home to the Nomad-30 and use the SRBS762 on all of your other hosts as needed.

    Hopefully get out within the next week or so to really shot it and compare to the Nomad on all fronts. The snow and ice has finally melted off the range area. When I picked the can up, I was surprised to find nothing else in the box. Not even a sticker lol. I emailed B&T about getting a wrench for it. They responded quickly and sent one out. Not sure if it’s typical on manufacturers, but for what you pay, you’d think they’d just toss one in.

    I’m learning.
