New to suppressors. New to ARs for that matter. I know this may be a broad question - but any of you all with experience have any recommendations on AR-15 suppressors? Looking for quality, willing to pay up. Thanks in advance.

If you are looking to buy only one I'd look at the Silencerco saker 7.62. It is extremely modular and will work with just about any firearm you may want to use in the future. It is a QD mount of can be direct thread. Also you can put a 5.56 end cap on it and it is then quieter than their 5.56 Saker. If you want something light weight look at Crux suppressors titanium cans. Their quality is top notch.

If you go back a few pages, there's been tons of discussion on here.

They now have the omega which is 6 ounces lighter. Saker is the choice for full auto options. Maybe not so much on the omega though, in case you were headed that route.

Omega is rated for full auto. Harvester is not.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

Yet another reason we need an NFA sub-forum.

February is SHOT Show in Vegas. That's when most companies announce their new models.

The Saker was definitely the cool kid on the block. But the mounting system gets stuck sometimes and tough to unattach.

The Surefire has one of the best mounting systems without a doubt. But its suppression isn't as good as the others but it was built for durability and accuracy above all else.

I just ordered a Dead Air Sandman after seeing videos of how it mounts up. Seems pretty solid and I don't think it'll suffer the same problems as the Saker getting stuck.

Guess I need to do some google'n because I haven't heard much about the Saker getting stuck and haven't had any issues with mine.

AAC 7.62 SDN, run it on my AR-10, 300BO, and 5.56 SBR's. Will be buying a few more before 41P comes down hard in May.

I have two Surefire SOCOM 7.62. I use them on both my AR and bolt action 308s/556s. I haven't seen any impact on accuracy. I like them. I don't have any experience with other suppressors. aim

Do AR15's need a adj. gas block to use a suppressor?

Nope. It may run better with one, but I haven't had a customer come in needing one after we sold them a can.

Depends what caliber/ammo/gun setup. I have problems with a mil spec buffer spring shooting my .300 blk with subsonic ammo. Won't eject shells. Solution is use a different buffer spring or get an adjustable gas block.

You don't change the spring, you change the weight of the buffer.

I have two Saker 762s, an SDN-6, and a Harvester.

The SDN-6 is solid, and I use it on a few platforms. There's much hub-up about the lock-up being weak between the can and muzzle. Two of my muzzles lock great, and two have a bit of wobble that I need to get around to fixing with a 5 minute dremel job.

The Harvester is really light, but won't take the abuse and short barrels that the Sakers and SDN-6 do.

Saker 762 is my favorite. Muzzle lock is great (relatable accuracy), it's silent and tough. best of all, it;s modular. So, I can upgrade it should some new muzzle device or end cap come along.

If SilencerCo comes out with a Saker 762k, that'll be my next can. But if I had to pick one, it'd be the standard Saker 762. YMMV.

Omega is another can to check out. If I didn't already commit to the Trifecta mount, I'd be looking hard at that.
