The AB Suppressor Raptor 8 7.62mm is the eight-baffle version of AB Suppressor’s flagship Raptor line, supplied here with a 3-inch bull barrel reflex mount in 5/8×24 (brand part no. F2278BB). AB builds the Raptor from titanium, welds it in a tubeless design, and uses spiral baffles that peel gas off the bore and send it into a spin to cut back pressure. The reflex mount lets the suppressor wrap around the barrel, so the blast chamber gains volume without adding length to the rifle. At 6.3 inches and 8.05 ounces, it suits a shooter who wants a light .30-caliber suppressor on a rifle that stays short and handy. The finish is a high-temperature Cerakote that AB chose for duty-grade use.

Key Specifications

• The bore is 7.62mm, one of the four bore sizes AB Suppressor offers in the Raptor line next to 5.56mm, .338 and .375.
• Overall length is 6.3 inches, a figure that matters for keeping a .30-caliber rifle compact.
• Body diameter is 1.625 inches, the number to check against handguard clearance before you order.
• Weight is 8.05 ounces, a result of the all-titanium construction.
• The suppressor is made of Grade 5 titanium, and AB Suppressor states the spirals, end cap, blast chamber and mounts are all 100 percent titanium.
• It includes a 5/8×24 reflex mount sized for a 3-inch bull barrel, which wraps the suppressor around the barrel to add blast chamber volume without adding length.
• A 5/8×24 flush mount is also included, the simpler option for a rifle that does not need the reflex.
