towerofpower93 22 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm getting a 308 can in a few months (damn you BATFE and your wait times!!!!!) and I'm wondering if anyone else here has done one yet. If you have, what ammo are you running? Is the Brown Bear and other Russian surplus good enough to shoot without baffle strikes? I'm thinking it is since it flys straight and the S308 has a pretty sturdy barrel so flex isn't as much of an issue compared to something like a PSL. Just wondering what the experienced have to say about it. Any pics? Thanks Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowcarbon 4 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have a YHM Phantom .308 quick detach can that I enjoy. I both my 5.56 ARs as well as my .308 Saiga. I have shot Brown Bear, South African, Port and commercial ammo through it without any problems. The barrel on the Saiga is definitely heavy enough to handle the can and my YHM Phantom is no lightweight (28oz.). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
towerofpower93 22 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I remember talking to you about cans a few months ago, thanks for all the info. Went with a TROS .308 Envoy II. Just waiting on the Form 3 and then my 4:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PTGT_Neon 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 What would it take to put threading on a ver21 .308? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadDog 3 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
towerofpower93 22 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Maddog Nice looking setup, what can is that? Did you attach a qd muzzle device or is the can thread on? What thread pitch was on your bbl? I'm thinking I'll just get my 17x1 bbl rethreaded 5/8-24 for ease of threading withot adapters. Thanks Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
finlander 3 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Here's an old pic of my .308 with the can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AK86 1 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Here's an old pic of my .308 with the can. VERY nice looking rifle!!! What stock is that? How dofficult was the fitment process? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devrussell 1 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Did you guys thread your own barrels? I'd be scared that I would thread it cock-eyed and blow my $$$ can into oblivion. I am not knowledgeable in any way - are my fears legit? I definitely want one - the 308 is insanely loud (to me at least). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

towerofpower93 22 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 For you guys out there with threaded barrels....would I be able to get my currently 17x1mm threaded barrel rethreaded to 5/8-24? I've been reading about thread dimensions all day long for a pistol can and can't remember what has been said about the 5/8-24 threading issues/solutions for the 308.
