Description
The AB Suppressor Raptor 8 7.62mm suppressor (AB part no. F22-78-BB) is the eight-spiral Raptor, supplied with a 3-inch Reflex mount in 5/8×24. AB says fewer baffles make a Raptor lighter and shorter at some cost in suppression, so eight spirals sit between the short hunting builds and the ten-spiral stack. The 3-inch Reflex lets the suppressor wrap back over the barrel, adding blast chamber volume without adding length. AB welds the body from titanium in a tubeless design and finishes it in high-temperature Cerakote. It suits a .30 caliber rifle that needs to stay handy without giving up much suppression.
Key Specifications
- The bore is 7.62mm, rated for SAAMI centerfire cartridges with projectiles of 7.62mm or less.
- The stack is eight spiral baffles, a middle step between the short and full-length Raptor builds.
- The included 3-inch Reflex mount in 5/8×24 adds blast chamber volume around the barrel.
- Construction is 100 percent titanium for the spirals, end cap, blast chamber and mounts, welded into a tubeless body.
- The finish is C-138 Jet Black high-temperature Cerakote, which AB says holds up to full-auto temperatures.
- The minimum barrel length is 8 inches for .300 Blackout, and 16 or 22 inches for 7.62 magnum cartridges.
- Magnum cartridges need a Reflex mount of at least 2 inches, which the included 3-inch mount meets.

Raptor 8 or Raptor 10? AB says fewer baffles make the Raptor lighter and shorter, while more baffles make it longer, heavier and quieter. The Raptor 8 is the middle ground.
