Looking in to getting a supressor ?

[abpt1]

Leaning twards 5.56 please school me on the different company's also quality vs value ....

[O.S.O.K.]

I am going to add a question to this - not to jack the thread.... the question is: Does a supressor designed for 30 caliber do a good job with .223 as well? The reason I ask is that if you can get one supressor that works for 30 caliber on down, you get more "bang for your buck" so to speak.

Is there a standard thread count amongst most supressors? At least considering for American rifles?

Back to the OP - just maybe add this if you know - TIA

.30 cal can is OK on a .223 gun. some stuff it makes it a little quieter.


Just get a model that uses a dedicated flash hider mount for each gun if you're gonna swap.


Heres the deal, HOw much are you gonna shoot?

Semi?
Full AUto?

Some more things to consider. Are you going to shoot cast bullets? I know your first reaction is most likely no BUT, what about a .22 conversion? Also, would you ever want to mount it onto a .22 rimfire firearm? If yes to either you may want to find a take apart silencer so that you can clean out the bullet lube/lead buildup.

Keep in mind that a .223/556 silencer is not going to get you "Hollywood quiet". A good quality can will get you to "hearing safe" levels where you won't have to ware hearing protection but it may not be to levels you desire. Please keep your expectations reasonable.

Also, will this silencer be used on an SBR? If so make sure of what barrel length the silencer manufacture will warrenty the silencer for. The 556 is NOT a very effecent round. There is a lot of unburned powder coming out the barrel at 16 inches, and a Hell of a lot when you cut the barrel down to 10 inches. Dumping all that unburned powder into an oxygen rich silencer (first round pop) is a real strain on a silencer.

One last thing, a warning. Silencers are VERY addictive. You may want to start budgeting for a "few" more.

Good luck in your quest, may I suggest AAC, Silencerco, thompson machine, and Liberty as good quality manufacturers. The ones I'd stay away from are Shooters Depot in Corpus and another that the name escapes me . . . I believe they are located in Aransas Texas somewhere.

Again, good luck.

the only thing I've had thats Hollywood is an Uzi . takes some work and some FELT.




You can spend $400-2000 on a .223-308 can or Buy a welder that can handle stainless and register it for $200 like me.

There is no re-sale value with suppressors. You buy one and you will have it for life. So buy the most expensive you can afford while paying attention to quality and the company who made it (customer service, etc. etc.).

The only company I recommend is AAC. But there are others that make some good cans to.

Gemtech can go out of business for all I care.

Another shitty company is/was Red Jacket Firearms

Rocker would know more than me about the company I am thinking of.

I have a Gemtech can and they want half the damn price I paid for the can just to update it with a nielsen device.


Making my own from here on out, I'll just be out cost of material and $200 down the toilet.

What they did to the civilian suppressor community.....they can go fuck themselves with a bent rusty spork..... for the win!



I wish I had the knowledge to make (and of course, LEGALLY) my own cans. I have access to all the machinery one would ever need

It's a great can if you are interested in a mulit-caliber rifle host.

YEP, Get your approved Form 1 back and get to work.

Helen Keller is correct.
