Suppressor info questions

[Rebsbud]

I have a little NEF rifle in .223 I would like to get the barrel threaded & a suppressor for. Where would be a good place to get this done & what should it cost? Also, what suppressor would y’all recommend & what should it cost? Would the same suppressor work on a AR-15 too? Thanks.

Any quality gun smith should be able to do it. There is a standard American thread pitch and a European thread pitch. He will know. Yes, the .223 suppressor will work on an AR. He's the deal, you can make a .223 quieter, but you ain;t going to make it quiet. There are a bazzilion brands and designs. I can't say that one is any better than another. They are about like top water plugs. Everybody has their favorite.

I'd get a Silencerco Omega 300 for anything 30 caliber or smaller. No way I'd spend the money for a dedicated 22 caliber can. I run mine on 300 mag on down to 6.5 peachfuzz. Costs about 9 hunnert.
No idea on Threading the Handi Rifle. Likely cost about as much as the gun was new.
No problem using a can on multiple hosts.

Putting a can on a direct impingement gun introduces a few issues with over gassing sometimes.

Asking which suppressor to get is akin to asking which brand pickup to get. Everyone is going to have their preference and theirs is the best.

When I was researching, I leaned hard with the SilencerCo. lineup, but ultimately landed on a YHM Ti.

I will say, look into Silencer Shop, for ease of transaction and broad offering of supply (I believe they are out of Austin if not mistaken). It worked well for me., especially with their kiosk system (might be a little tougher where you are located). One other thing to consider is if you are going to do an individual stamp or go the trust route.

If you are going to stick to only the .223, get one sized appropriately with a direct thread mount. Unfortunately though, once you get one suppressor, it’s kinda like decoys, you gotta have them all.

Like the Crazy Duck mention, if you want something to use on multiple platforms, then you might look at a .30 cal suppressor with QD mount, that you can interchange between guns. It wont be as quiet on the .223 though, that a .22 appropriate suppressor would be.

I believe Toledo on here has or had a setup like you have.

I have 2 different 30 cal cans and run them on 6.5 creed, 6.5 grendal, 7 oh 8, 300blk and 223. Once you realize you ain't getting movie quiet with a rifle cartridge, you're better off. IMO a caliber specific can is a waste, cause you will want to run it on something else. My aac can has pretty much lived on one of two 223s it's entire life.

I have aac which I believe is dead and omega. I run QD on everything but the custom rifles. I have a guy in cypress that will do everything from trust to suppressor. Trusts are free if you want to drive that far.

Pete piper in hempstead is who I'd reccomend for threading. Any Smith should be able to do it and let you ship the barrel. Have you checked with NEF for just a barrel that's already threaded?

My only other suggestion would be forgo doing the barrel and buy something like a ruger ranch rifle that's ready. I've beat mine all over the place and it still kills pigs. A barrel thread on a nef would be half the cost of a new crack barrel

Most everything above is spot on. I'm definitely partial to the silencerco omega, too. Great, relatively lightweight can, good for 30 cal on down. They stand behind their products. I had a baffle strike (very likely user error), sent it back and they repaired it no questions asked.

Only thing I'd disagree with above is the direct thread suggestion. Once you shoot suppressed, you won't want to shoot without it. Regardless of brand, get one with quick detach. Easy on, easy off between various rifles regardless of differing thread patterns.

I have one that is quick attach and one that is direct thread. I like the quick attach for the AR's because like you said you can swap them out. I wouldn't want it for the bolt guns. I like the direct thread better for that. I didn't want to buy the quick attach muzzle break for all the guns I can run that on.

I have three 30 cal that I cant remember what it is, 22 LR and a 45 cal that I bought for my 350 legend and 450 bushmaster but I can run it on some of my bolt guns also.

Thanks for the info. Dang, was hoping those things would get like computers & get a bit cheaper. Probably will look of a gun already threaded or another NEF barrel already done.

If I was going to thread a crack barrel, I’d cut it back to SBR length and pin/weld a form 1 can to it. I plan to do that with my 300bo ranch rifle when I have some free time.

I dont believe the cost to manufacture them is very high. Its a pain in the balls to move them as the retailer has to sit on them for a year while waiting on uncle sam to pass out the stamp. The pricing is basically a storage fee.

Dealers get compensation for that. At least the 2 I know. That's how i ended up with a free 22 can
