    I had an MAE full barrel suppressor for quite a while - they are a pain in the arse. No barrel isolation tube, so you get massive carbon build up directly on the barrel which needs to be regularly cleaned: need to vaseline the barrel to make it easier to clean. There is a fair bit of the fore-end of the stock pruned out to fit the suppressor, and in my rifle's case this led to a fairly flimsy stock. Go with over-barrel: practical, easy to maintain, cheap and transferable between multiple rifles.
    Who cares what it looks like? It's a tool for saving your ears, not something you hang on the wall to make your house look good...
