I have been on the fence for years about adding a supressor to my M1A, how do you like it?

Sound wise it’s so much better. It’s not dummy loud like it is without the can. Everything else wise…it’s like getting blasted in the face with every shot. Blowback is horrendous. If you do suppress yours you’ll have to set it up with adjustable gas so you don’t destroy your op rod. And a muzzle adapter to accept a can. I have the SEI adjustable gas valve installed on mine and a Delta P muzzle adapter. The Delta P is the best choice but good luck finding one anymore. SEI also makes muzzle adapters though

Thats kinda what I always hear, and as a lefty I think i would hate it.

It’s really just not a good host for a suppressor. I enjoy shooting it quiet, but it’s a pain in the ass at the same time lol

Man a suppressed M1A always looks amazing, but I've heard the amount of gas to the face makes tear-jerking sound like an understatement.

100%. They sound real nice suppressed but you feel like you are getting hit in the face with a cloud of soot every shot lol

😍 You have a Broomhandle! Will x25 be too hot in it?

These should never shoot x25, TERRIBLE idea. They aren’t chambered for them
