that's just retarded. Why run the risk of scaring off ANY game, or having ANY enemies notice you from the noise? Why have any flash at night? why damage your ears or flinch/miss because of the blast? Why spend 50c per shot for 308 practice, when the silencer makes the 223 so tame that .22lr practice is relevant? Why pay $2500 for an M1A? Cause a FAL or HK AINT capable of outreaching a 16" barreled AR in 223.
When you choose the 308, you are choosing to not have a silencer, and that's stupid for shtf. If you chop a 308 auto's barrel enough to make it REASONABLY usable with a silencer on it, you'll lose so much velocity that it might as well take the .30AK rd. 16" of 308 and 10" of silencer do not add up to a handy rifle 12.3" of 223 AR and 7.5" of silencer DO still equal a handy rifle. By saving 40c per shot, .22lr practice vs 308 practice, you pay for the $200 .22 conversion unit in ONE range trip. You pay for the silencer $200 stamp, the day of your labor and $100 for the local machineshop in a couple of range trips, too.
