sammyboy Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I ordered a T8AR for my .223 and have come to descover it is half the size of a T8, maybe even smaller than a T4. The guy i am buying it off is trying to tell me that it is as effective as a T8 on a .223 wich i find hard to believe due to the size.The reason i went for this mod is because i have a remington vssf and i want to add as little weight and length to this 26" barrel as i can. Has anyone had any expirience with both or even just the AR if so do you find it as effective as the T8. Thanks people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Mrs Dave has a T8AR on her .223 Remy 700. superb bit of kit. As I've said before on other postings, it was designed for the .223 (hence the AR bit. Ar15?) Don't be put off by it's size. It'll do the job as well as any T4 or T8. BTW baffles wise, T8ar is a clue. It's still a T8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Sounds good, any pics of this? Can it be fitted on a CZ 527? Cheers, Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Surely if it intended for an AR15 is going to have a massive great 'ole in the back? How is that overcome on 'spaghetti' barreled guns like the CZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex lad Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Surely if it intended for an AR15 is going to have a massive great 'ole in the back?How is that overcome on 'spaghetti' barreled guns like the CZ? Theres a plastic bush that gets machined to the profile of the barrel, on my AR theres not a lot of plastic bush left!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefman Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'd be interested to see a pic of an AR on a .223. I'm going to order my cz 527 tomorrow,I'm still torn between the T8 AR and one made by a bloke called DM8 form anouther forum. Has any one got a DM8 moderator they could also post a picture of please and also give your views on it. Cheers Reefman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mry716 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I can think of 'sexier' things than a T8 ! By the way - Dave ask Lorraine if she still wants some 243 cases as her (or mine) PM isnt working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and having seen and heard 2 or 3 in last few months I am convinced they are the future, especially for people who hate using mods like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just ordered a T8 AR last Friday for my new .222 which I should be picking up this week Sorry, cant' help it. I talked to Jackson Rifles on the phone and my dealer. They are designed for up to .223 and reduce the dB(A) rate the same as the std T8 and mayby by 2 more (32). (Check out the spec as I am at work and don't have it in front of me) That says to me they are ok for your gun and will reduce the weight from std 670g to 490g . When all else fails read the instructions That what I do every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
