B&T SRBS762Ti-DM .30 cal silencer review

B&T SRBS762-Ti-DM .30 cal silencer review

We began testing the B&T SRBS762-Ti-DM a couple of months ago, and it has proven to be of the high quality I have come to expect from B&T.

What’s in a name? Let’s go through what SRBS762-Ti-DM means.

The S is for slimline with a diameter measuring just one and seven-tenths inches. This is important so that once mounted, the can is not so girthy as to interfere with your sights or optics.

The RBS portion stands for reduced backpressure system. This is important for several reasons. In a traditional baffle stack style silencer, you will get some backpressure due to the design. This backpressure will flow back down the bore into the rifle, resulting in some of that gas and fouling coming back into your face; while unpleasant, you can push through. However, that backpressure can also cause bolt overspeed in semi-automatic rifles, which, if left unchecked, can induce a malfunction. So, you have to adjust your gas system or buffer weight to slow that carrier down. While that can be tuned out of the rifle, you will get plenty of additional fouling and heat back into your host. With the Reduced Backpressure System, that backpressure is eliminated, and the can is designed to allow that gas to flow through and out the front of the can.

The 762 is a .30 caliber silencer rated for all .30 caliber cartridges, including magnums. It is fully auto-rated and has no barrel length restrictions.

The Ti indicates that it is made from titanium, and the DM indicates that it is a direct mount.

It ships standard with a 5/8×24 direct mount with wrench flats; however, it is hub-compatible if you want to go the QD route.

This silencer is 3D printed using titanium, a solid piece that is very robust and lightweight but not user-serviceable. While this can would be at home on any rifle, SBR, or pistol, it is designed especially for the AR and AK platforms. With the 3D printing technology being state-of-the-art, complex baffles can be printed instead of machined, which keeps costs down and production up. It is finished in a matt Cerakote that held up well despite drastic heat cycles.

Throughout the review, we used the Ruger SFAR in .308 review here The Range Tool Predator AR in 22 ARC review here, and a Barnes Precision Machine pistol in .308. We could easily swap back and forth on the hosts, and the silencer caused no malfunctions or accuracy issues. I attribute that to the reduced backpressure design, easily going between hosts without adjustments. The can held up well over 400 rounds of .308 and .22 ARC and added enough suppression to run the hosts comfortably without hearing protection.

Silencer Shop is running a deal on many of their B&T silencers. If you buy from them, they cover the tax stamp.

The B&T SRBS762-Ti-DM is the way to go if you are in the market for a durable silencer as tough as woodpecker lips. Rated for all .30-caliber cartridges, it would serve you well on multiple platforms and lesser calibers if you were looking for a one-does-most type silencer. I have done a lot of silent reviews, and I am here to tell you that B&T’s products are state-of-the-art. I seriously doubt you could do better at any price point.
