Description
The SureFire SOCOM300-SPS Dark Earth is a Fast-Attach suppressor for .300 Blackout and .300 Whisper (7.62×35) rifles and carbines (SureFire part no. SOCOM300-SPS-DE). SureFire calls it the quietest suppressor in its family, with highly specialized V-shaped baffles tuned for subsonic ammunition that virtually eliminate first-round flash and dust signature. The bore is oversized yet precision machined, which lowers the chance of a baffle strike from an unstable projectile. It is optimized for .300 BLK carbines with barrels of 10 inches or shorter, and SureFire notes it is also very capable in 5.56mm applications. This Dark Earth version matches tan and FDE rifles.
Key Specifications

- It is optimized for .300 BLK/Whisper (7.62×35) with both subsonic and supersonic ammunition.

- SureFire lists 5.4 inches of length added to the host weapon, though the actual figure depends on the adapter used.
- Diameter is 1.5 inches, the figure to check against handguard clearance.
- Weight is 20 ounces, a real figure to factor into a short-barreled build.
- Construction is high-temperature Inconel alloy and stainless steel, CNC laser-welded for strength.
- The coating is Ionbond and Cerakote, and this version is Dark Earth.
- The mount is Fast-Attach, which attaches and removes without tools and works with SureFire flash hiders, compensators and WARCOMPS.
- The bore is oversized but precision machined, which decreases the baffle strike probability from unstable projectiles.
