Suppressors Suppressor for AR15 multi cal

[2brothers641]

Looking to pick up a suppressor specifically for my ARs, .204, 5.56, 6 arc, and .300 BO. What's currently the best value to cover these calibers? Looking for best suppression in a reasonable length ~7". Weight is not a concern but budget is. I see Hux mentioned quite a bit but there seems to be conflicting reports on how well the actually suppress. They are pricey as well. Would something like the Enticer S be a reasonable solution?

I have the 308 cal Enticer S and love it. I shoot 300 PRC down to 22lr thru it and, for the money, it's hard to beat. Look up Pewscience.com for Suppressor tests and ratings. Some very interesting data. Good luck to ya.

If you expect high round counts between stoppages, look into a LBP can.

If you want more rounds between gun cleaning and no tuning the HuxWrx are great. I have cans that are quieter but they are very hard to beat for a dedicated semi auto. The 7.62 and 5.56K Flows are all that I shoot on my AR's. They are not value priced though.

I won’t be doing any mag dumps. Mainly casual shooting and hunting.

How much quieter is a traditional can vs flow?

Noticeably… Tests prove that fact, despite people’s personal bias to justify their purchases.

Thanks for the info.

There is probably a definition for hearing safe but I always wear ear pro with my suppressors. I give no fucks about what is most quiet. There is study after study that talks about the long term health risk with lead exposure and at this point I will only use flow through suppressors. I personally prefer cans that are made of steel and inconel because they are sturdier. There are at least a dozen manufacturers of flow through suppressors and they all work about the same. The one that I personally like the best is the Huxwrx but I have nothing bad to say about CAT, Surefire, KAC, Dead Air, Otter Creek, CGI, TBAC and probably a couple of others. I am an owner of a gun range and we use all of them, all of them so far tend to outlast the barrels of the rifles. None of them are particularly difficult to clean and maintain. If anything, I would look at the attachment system and pick an architecture and then stick with it.

According to TBACs suppressor summit testing, the quietest suppressor on an AR-15 at the shooters ear was a flow through/LBP can...

I have an AB Warthog that I use with all of my AR‘s including 5.56, 6 mm arc, and 300 hammer. It works well, pretty quiet, wasn’t very expensive. It’s a 30 cal can with a flash disburser/suppressor on the end.

Works well on a lot of things.

Do you do much rapid fire (classes, drills/training, competitions, etc)? Do you mind having to tune your ARs? What’s your budget? Answer those questions and we can give you some advice.

 

[2brothers641]

No rapid fire. Tuning is not an issue. $600 budget. I could go higher but want to add another this year.

Enticer S, A-10 7.62, Rex MG7K, Griffin Explorr 30, OCL Polonium 30, and YHM Resonator all fit the bill, to name a few. I like the A-10 7.62 a lot, great can.

 

[kthomas]

- Ecco 5x5 - but it won't cover .300 BLK unless you go with the 7.62mm version
- DD Enticer - the 17-4 series
- OCL polonium
- SiCo Omega DTM

 

[2brothers641]

I think i may just go with the enticer s. Seems to get good reviews.

Love my Ti version.

If you can get over the looks, the AB A-10 Warthog 7 is great and inexpensive. Comparing to my Griffin Armament Explorr 300 is interesting. They are nearly identical in length and weight. The AB is 1.625” diameter, GA is 1.5”.

Subjectively, the AB has better first shot sound, GA has better second round sound. After that, it’s hard to tell them apart. The GA is nearly twice the cost of the AB.

If you have specific questions or want specific pics, let me know.

To muddy the waters even more, my Abel Co Biscuit .30 sounds exceptionally well on my AR15's.

Took it out to the range today on my SPR setup and kind've took for granted how great of a combo it is.

It's fairly low back pressure, so it doesn't produce excess gas out of the ports like conventional suppressors. About 6" with adapter. Built for hard use and precision. Stout with its all 17-4 construction. A bit over your budget though. But a great multiplatform suppressor.

I have SF 7.62 RC2. I like the option of using it on my 308 or 556. It fits on both flash hiders. 1/2 x 28 and 5/8 x 24.

 

[hlee]

Yankee Hill makes an inexpensive and compelling suppressor. But, the phantom mounts kinda suck.

 

[TheBigCountry]

Resonator R2 and OCL Polonium 30 in that price range

Cost , wait time. No resale. Disappointment. The real cost. The right one is In expensive.
Wish I had bought a lighter can for my ar.

 

[2brothers641]

Order the Enticer S. Now to dive into the world of Hub mounts...

A simple taper mount works great and is inexpensive. I like Plan A.

You should wear ear pro when shooting supersonic ammo anyway. Sure, the can quiets the ignition and greatly reduces the blast shockwave.

But if you shoot supersonics with a can but with no ear pro, over time you will lose hearing, guaranteed. The crack is not hearing-safe.

That’s why many people with a number of suppressors don’t care too much about dB reduction. When you’re wearing ear pro, it’s not a big deal.

With ARs, flow-through is a bigger factor due to gas to the face (which, given high-volume shooting, can give you lead poisoning 1, 2, 3, 4, lead level info). It’s also just irritating as hell, which is my main reason for going flow-through on an AR.

I’d think through how you want to use the can, realize that almost for sure you’ll buy another can (even if you say you aren’t), look at how long the suppressor manufacturer has been in business (for lifetime warranty work), and pay attention to attachment methods pros and cons.

Personal opinion:
Except for semi-autos, I think direct thread is the way to go, probably via the HUB interface (but I’ve never used HUB). Direct thread is simple, cheaper, and because cans are harder to sell, it allows you to use your cans on whatever gun you like until you die.

But like a drug addict telling you not to use drugs, against my better instincts I am experimenting with secondary retention suppressor attachments. Both on an AR and a bolt gun. Just got the cans out of jail this week. I’m almost positive that I’ll regret the bolt gun can lol. It’s gonna get locked onto one gun due to needing a certain muzzle device (a ~$140 special brake).

Whereas I only one one AR, so having a secondary-retention can locked onto that is NBD. It’s a Surefire RC3, a heavy all stainless can meant to deal with heat better than my titanium bolt gun suppressors, so I might not even want to move that one around. I bought it to limit the can from walking off during strings of fire, which has happened to me with DT cans on ARs.

Most, like me, go through the below steps whether they want to or not. Self-realization does not inoculate lol:

Suppressor Stages of Ownership (main)

HUB to both Tilt Bbl Pistol and Rifle Interface?

Suppressor is both Intermediate (300 Supers, 5.56, 308) and Handgun (9mm) rated. It also has a HUB interface. Does there exist a HUB adapter that will adapt to 9mm tilting barrel handgun (piston, I dont think there is another system that works in this app), and also adapt to non-tilting barrel...
