[QUOTE="vdub, post: 967893, member: 6845"] I have a Knight's Armament suppressor I have shot on a MSTN upper with 18" barrel and Noveske switchblock and a LMT 10.5" upper. With the 18" barrel and suppressor, it was about as loud as a .22 to my ears. You could hear the "sproing" of the buffer spring very easily from shooting the rifle. With the 10.5" LMT upper, it is kind of a different story. The thing is pretty freaking loud with such a short barrel, especially if you are shooting under a roof that reflects noise. With the suppressor, it is quieter than a standard AR15 but definitely will say it is not hearing safe. Now bear in mind this is with full-powered ammo as I have not tried to load any subsonic ammo. I do have a 308 suppressor pending transfer but do not have any plans to load subsonic ammo for my bolt rifle at this time. I am just hoping to quiet the gun down some and reduce a little of the recoil. After 100+ rounds from the prone position in one session, my [b]collar bone[/b] area gets a little sensitive!! :haay::cry3::rotflmao: [/QUOTE]
