Mossberg ATR100 .308 cal load testing over chronograph with noise suppressor

[Catfood311]

i bought mine at the marine corp exchange (im navy) for less then $300, i love that rifle. the scope that came with it was garbage though. it couldnt handle the recoil. fired a few rounds and was trying to make adjustments and it fell off, tightened it back down with a screwdriver and tried again. got a better scope from gunshow. love it!

mine has problems with the loading ramp it sometimes wont feed a round into the chamber and they jam up frequently its really annoying. atr100 walnut stock .308 win

that thing doesn't seem to kick much like most 308.'s iv shoot

@williammeridith

No it does not kick as much as the suppressor removes a lot of the recoil which is caused when the gasses exit the muzzle

How did you mod the barrel to fit the suppressor?

[maoriwahine2008]

@defm1

The end of the barrel is threaded and uses a similar thread to the muzzle brake.

@maoriwahine2008 mine didnt come threaded

[maoriwahine2008]

It all depends on what country you live in if you are in the USA you need to have a permit for a suppressor

You've got to love how smooth that action is!

[maoriwahine2008]

The mossberg is a good rifle but yet very underrated

[titanwr]

Oh believe me, I know! Its about $300 here in the States and it performs as good as any winchester or remmington straight out of the box! I have a Mossberg in the 30/06 and absolutely love it.

[hopecamel]

i didnt now u could put a suppresser on these

In new Zealand we can legally use a noise suppressor on all rifles. This suppressor is specially designed for high powered rifles and the one I was using caters for all calibers up to .30cal exluding the WSM and the other magnum calibers. The Advantage of using a suppressor is the fact the game animal will not run away from you but actually comes towards you allowing for a follow up shot if required due to the suppressor distorting the noise and confusing the animal
