A suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and visible muzzle flash generated by firing. Suppressors are typically constructed of a metal cylinder with internal mechanisms to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas.

BCM 11.5 suppressor rec

Just picked up BCM 11.5”. Want to buy my first suppressor. Need recommendations. Looking to stay around 1,000 but have room if necessary.

Looked around on here but didn’t see a lot of posts for this specific setup. To be fair I haven’t spent a ton of time digging too hard.

Not sure if low back pressure is necessary, seems nice. I also am more concerned with mostly with maintaining rifle function/cycle (without having to change gas systems, seems a little advanced for me) and size. I know that 556 isn’t going to be too quiet. That being said I don’t need the shortest can for the sake of being short.

Will be used for range and home defense if necessary.

PS any buffer and buffer spring recs also greatly appreciated.

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.

Suppressor recommendations?

I've been wanting to get a suppressor for my LWRC AR15, but I'm not sure which one to get. I like the Surefire cause I already have a muzzle brake on mine (no, not the one with the quick attachment) and they're used on military rifles so I would assume they're dependable. The other part of my question is if I went with the Surefire Socom, do I HAVE to get the quick connect muzzle brake for it to work? What are the advantages of having that?

I did have to call jk last week over getting a war eagle sent in because it’s out of spec and asked about the 9mm was told it’s risk of baffle strike but who knows.

Opinions on B&T Rotex Print-X 556 Ti for AR15

I've putting together a theory craft build for a WWSD 16" with a direct thread on suppressor. I talked to B&T customer service and they were very knowledgeable and helpful.

They recommended the aforementioned suppressor as a good lightweight, short but not too short option. Anyone have experiences with this product or a similar build?

I'm also looking forward to seeing what B&T unveils at Shot Show in January. I'm hoping for some refinements to their Print X lineup and, fingers crossed, the ability to buy a suppressor without the hub since I play a direct thread setup,

Oil/grease for internals?

I have a Dead Air Mask and absolutely love it. I neglected cleaning it longer than I should have, probably around 2k rounds. I couldnt even get it apart till I soaked it in Break Through suppressor cleaner for a day. Got it apart and soaked it for another day and 99% of the buildup came right off. Is it recommended to oil or grease the internals or threads to make cleaning easier? When it was new I lubed the entire thing with Fluid Film and it initially helped the threads, but then I shot a ton of rounds and it got all stuck. Would it be a bad idea to put anti seize on the threads? I sprayed and wiped off the internals with Fluid Film but I know it won’t last too long. I know I gotta clean it more often than the first one I did, just wondering if there’s anything that’ll help

The can I bought is at my FFL, but the ATF closed his business. Do I have options?

I bought the suppressor in May, shipped to a local FFL I had used before. Just then before I could even come in to start the paperwork, the shop was closed and no phone calls answered. After lots of calls/emails I got an email saying the ATF had stopped his shops activity and that he would respond when he had an update. Now, its 6 months after I bought it and I have no idea what's going on as calls and emails go unanswered. Should I contact the ATF or just keep waiting? Any other advice?

P320 Guide Rod/Spring for Suppressor

I've got a P320 Compact in 9mm, with the Pro-Cut slide. I want to set that up for dedicated suppressor use. For now I've got an Omega 36M, which is on the heavy side, but will probably end up with something different later on.

I'm still waiting on my threaded barrel so I don't have any rounds through it yet. Will the factory recoil spring assembly be best for this application, or should I be looking at lighter/heavier springs?

Help needed for Akv 9mm suppressor

I recently bought an AKV 9mm from palmetto and I am in need of some help / confirmation on mounting a suppressor to it. I have an omega 36m and was planning to use a silencer co asr muzzle device to mount the suppressor to the AkV. Psa reccomends a jam nut for indexing since in doesn't have a shoulder but I was just planning on rock setting the asr muzzle to the threads, let it set, attach suppressor and check it with an alignment rod. Is this correct? Is there anything different i need to do to ensure not having a baffle strike?

Can someone clarify which SureFire suppressor mounts are compatible with which SureFire suppressors/adapters?

I have an assortment of SureFire muzzle devices, all of which are the SOCOM suppressor mount variety.

I see that there are also SureFire suppressor mounts that do not carry the SOCOM label.

Is there any difference between the SOCOM and non SOCOM mounts? If so, which ones are compatible with which suppressors?

I’m particularly interested in which ones are compatible with the SureFire HUB adapters from B&T and others.

I also feel stupid by buying an Omega 36M- help me figure out what I need please.

Hey yall I found this old post where the guy was going through the same dilemma after buying a 36M https://www.reddit.com/r/suppressors/comments/zz91pq/i_feel_stupid_by_buying_an_omega_36m_cheer_me_up/

I did some research as to what I need but could use some checking/validation from the community. Goal is to make my 36M quick disconnect between my Beretta M9A4 and my Sig Spear MCX 5.56 if thats even possible

Beretta M9A4 which comes with a threaded barrel, so far I've figured I need the following:

Question, is it possible to get a ASR muzzle brake instead of all the above? https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/SilencerCo-ASR-Single-Port-Muzzle-Brake-p/sico-asr-sp-brake.htm

Sig Spear MCX LT 5.56, I figure I only need the muzzle brake in 1/2 x 28 https://kawvalleyprecision.com/product/kvp-muzzle-brake-for-asr/

All suggestions or alternatives are appreciated!

Opinions about 2nd suppressor

I’ve had my Turbo K for about a year now. I went with the K because I wanted something I could use on my 16 inch rifle without adding a lot of length and weight, and also on my 11.5 and keep it a compact package. I’ve got a 13.9 I’ve built using some more higher end parts and am looking at getting a more higher end suppressor to dedicate to that rifle. I’ve been satisfied with my Turbo K as far as suppression goes. I’m just wondering if I would be missing out by going with another short or K can, or should I be considering a full size can. The ones I’ve been considering is the Surefire RC2 or Mini, and the Silencer Co. Velos and Velos K. Just looking for opinions and what you’ve learned through your experience.

Help me understand…

Hey guys. New to the sub. About to live somewhere that will allow suppressor use.

I’m trying to learn and understand…

https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-receivers-parts/m4a1-stripped-socom-upper-receiver-14.5in-5.56/

I’m interested in this upper. I believe the barrel is threaded for 1/2”x28. The barrel is also 14.5” long, so it’ll need to be P&W, since I’m not interested in SBRing it.

I’m trying to find actual legit muzzle device that will allow for suppressor use.

Here is my issue. Should I find a can I want first and install whatever device that’s required?

The SOLGW NOX device seems to be good with and without the can, but does that mean I’m stuck with keymo? I believe I can buy the HUB adapter also… is this an adequate setup? Am I closing myself off to some non-keymo suppressors?

I feel like I can find cans I want but finding a legit device that I want welded to the end is a different story. Am I doing this wrong?

Dead Air Customer Support Frustration

Hey everyone! I just got my first can, Sandman S, at the beginning of Oct this year. I have a few issues and I'm curious if anyone has a direct contact at Dead Air because the customer service I feel I'm getting now is just not up to par.

Got my Sandman S beginning of Oct and the brake that came with it didn't work/fit for the suppressor. I tried re-timing, watching a bunch of videos my local FFL tried, nothing worked. I contacted Dead Air letting them know the situation (included pictures and video) and all I got was "Send it in for an assessment". After that, I called Dead Air and the person I was working with over email actually answered the phone and I got to talk with them. Now, I could have taken this wrong, but the person I was talking with just really seemed annoyed with me even calling and seemed to just want to get of the phone asap. I essentially asked that instead of sending both my brake and suppressor into them would they be able to send me a new brake because that's kindive what it seems like the issue is. He agreed to that and said to just email him that that's what we wanted to do. I did that back on Oct 18th and I haven't gotten a tracking number, an update, or even just confirmation they've sent it out.

Getting my suppressor in like 3 days is great, until the brake doesn't fit. I haven't been able to even shoot this thing!

Any help, guidance, or contacts internally that could help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Moved addresses during approval time

Just got my approval for a can. I've moved since submission and approval. I'm going to get my new ID with new address today after work. I'm assuming I just show that when I scan my photo ID issues by my state and can have the can shipped there instead of my old address that I had on when I submitted for approval?

Capitol armory is who's shipping it FWIW.

The strangest issue

I have a Henry model X in 45 colt with a leupold optic and a silencerco octane 45 Can mounted on an ASR muzzlebreak. I’m having the strangest issue: when I shoot it without the can it’s fine. When I put the can on, it shoots wide right and low, adjusting the scope even to its max in the opposite direction changes nothing. I take the can off, readjust the scope back to center just fine, and it’s back to shooting well. Strangely enough, there’s no damage to the suppressor, and I had multiple dudes take a crack at it and no one could figure out what the deal was. I took it into the shop for a former army sniper to shoot, and he concluded it was a manufacturing issue with the scope. I guess we will find out, but I’m having trouble seeing how it could be the scope, I mean for one throwing a can on shouldnt throw off ur shot by feet, and the scope can center it fine without the can on. Any theories here?
