Earlier today Liberty Suppressors announced “The Sovereign,” a particularly lightweight .30 caliber suppressor. Its titanium tube and core construction means it tips the scales at a scant 12.7 ounces, while still providing an average sound reduction of about 28.4 dB.
The Sovereign ships with both 1/2-28 and 5/8-24 thread adapters and a 5/8-24 muzzle brake mount, making it quite the versatile can. Diameter on the Sovereign is 1 5/8″ and length is 7 1/8″. The target audience is hunters and precision rifle shooters, who are generally looking for a smaller, lighter suppressor with less concern for things like a full-auto rating.
While a .30 caliber, aluminum front cap is installed on the can from the factory, other options exist as separate accessories:
Available Accessories:
APA Little Bastard 2 Brake Mount (allows the Sovereign to mount over the APA Little Bastard 2 Brake)
Liberty Blast Diffuser (including 3 front caps, 5.56, 6.5mm, and .30)
Replacement Front Caps: 5.56mm, 6.5mm, .30
Front Cap Wrench
MSRP is $1,050.
OOO. I think that’s a bunch lighter than my AAC.
I support the HPA. My Amex screams and gnashes it’s little plastic teeth at the thought of that bill passing.
Ooo…now that is a suppressor that I like. I think my BAR needs one. What cartridge’s is it good for?
Damn good question. They say they tested it with .308 but the “caliber” listed under specs is “.30 Cal (Various)”.
Of course I literally just bought a silencerco omega yesterday lol. I’m sure I’ll still be happy with the purchase, but shaving a few ounces off it would be nice
7mm Rem Mag??
So what happens when someone inevitably shoots a .30 cal bullet (300 blackout) but they still have the 5.56 end cap attached?
Ever heard the sound of a cash register ringing up a sale?
Kinda like that, but without the satisfaction of having something nice after you hand them the money…
It makes a larger hole in the end cap haha. That’s probably a big reason it’s aluminum, actually. Should you screw up, it really wouldn’t be a big deal. That first shot likely won’t hit exactly where you’re aiming, but it’ll cut a new hole for all of the subsequent shots and should not have any reason to cause any damage to the suppressor.
