    If I had a suppressor on my AR-15, I’d still be using hearing protection. I really should be doubling up on ear plugs and muffs together, but I tend to have a lot of earwax buildup, and properly inserted ear plugs tend to compact that problem.

    Subsonic 5.56NATO is a joke.

      Yeah, I double up on ear pro. It’s not comfortable, but I already have some hearing damage from my job.

      If I ever ran a suppressor I’d rebuild my upper receiver for .300 black out, but I can’t see myself shelling out the money for the rebuild, tax stamp, suppressor…and paying a buck a round.
