Hello everyone. Has anyone ever had any experience in adding a silencer to the 264lbc. Local class 3 dealer told me to install a 308 silencer. To me, a 5.56 uses a 5.56 silencer, you don't use a bigger silencer. Does anyone have any knowledge or added a silencer to the 264lbc?

not for the 264lbc but for a 6.8. i use a yhm titanium 308 can and it works great. im able to use it on the smallest calibers all the way up to a 300 rem ultra mag if i please. you can always shoot a sub diameter bullet but you cant go up. if your only buying one can you cant go wrong with a 308 diameter can. depending on what can you choose some have inserts or mounts so you can put it on different thread pitches. mine is a qd model and i can use it on 1/2 x 28 or 5/8 24. read up and do your home work therse plenty of choices out there.

To me, a 5.56 uses a 5.56 silencer, you don't use a bigger silencer. Not necessarily the case. Within minor limitations, one suppressor can cover multiple calibers with similar sound reduction. Even retailers and manufacturers (who have the least to benefit from selling fewer cans) will tell you the same thing.
Here is a tidbit from AAC's FAQ page:
FWIW, though, your local dealer might be making a recommendation out of general use adaptability for you, or he could just be trying to avoid seeking out a 6.5 can. Personally, I have a muffler made for 6.5cm, that I use for all of my 6mm cartridges as well as my 5.56. |

What is your opinion on the amount of noise after you had it installed and performance downrange? I have read a little bit about where a lot of the noise comes from the bullet breaking the sound barrier and getting the"cracking" noise from the bullet, so they made the bullets fps slower, making the noise reduction more manageable. In return you end up losing downrange performance and some accuracy. I like the idea of installing it, but I just don't know yet how beneficial it is, cost is about 1k in the end.

performance and accuarcy has not suffered from any of my experiances. there will allways be a crack as long as the bullet goes super sonic. the noise will be greatly reduced.

Personally, if I wanted subsonic, I wouldn't do it in 6.5 as there are cartridges more suitable to that ability. 300 blackout is the current trendy answer in that realm, but the Socom and Beowolf are still freight trains at subsonic velocities. As for accuracy, dropping the velocity might adversely affect 6.5 bullets. A quality suppressor on it's own doesn't. There will be a change in the Point Of Impact between shooting with and without the suppressor, but not the group size. In fact, long range target shooters are using them. Some claim that it increases accuracy, while others simply say that it makes the shooting more enjoyable while not adversely affecting accuracy. www.accurateshooter.com/gear-reviews/suppressors-what-you-need-to-know/ |

I have a Saker 762 that I use on my 264 lbc and 223. In my opinion it sounds close to 22 unsuppressed.
If you are considering getting a suppressor you should also get an adjustable gas block.

Yes, adjustable gas block was definitely in the plans, I am going with the side charging upper. I looked at an upper couple weeks ago, fell in love with how smooth it was. The guy that had it, recommended 100% to get adjustable gas block because you could set it to where it cycles just enough to make it operate, is very smooth. Haven't researched the gas block enough to know which is the best of all of them.

I have heard great things about BTE's gas blocks, I am going to use one on my next build.
I am interested in building a side charging upper myself. Which one are you going to use in your build?

I believe I will use the Eisenach upper. I have looked at the gibbz, liked it really well. The plus to gibbz is they make upper and lower recievers, eisenach does not. Eisenach design is little different, maybe thicker than the gibbz,im not sure. I like the look of the Eisenach with the NIB X slab carrier. I don't know which one is any better than the other. I don't want the gibbz lower, because I want custom engraving done on it.

Mine is connected to mag tactical lower |
