Kinda tough to find one for my .308. It might suppress the noise but not the crack as the round breaks the sound barrier. Besides there's that pesky BATF (F troop) rule that you can't have a threaded barrel.

But suppressing the report should address most noise complaints.

And I think you may be wrong about bans on threaded barrels (especially since the AWB sunsetted.)

Sound suppressors for .308 are east to find, and threaded barrels are now legal with a $200 Tax Stamp. I have one on my AR-15 and will soon have one on my AR-10. I just had a flash suppressor installed on another AR-15 A3, for $119.

Contact Scott at The Freedom Armory; he can help you.

I use Advanced Armament hardware on all my Class III weapons. It's mil-spec and can't be beat.
