The Rugged Suppressors Radiant 7.62 is another two-piece suppressor that offers exceptional versatility. But this suppressor is already slightly longer than 7 inches. The muzzle brake end cap adds an additional inch or so. It’s even effective enough to reduce the recoil a bit, if your rifle isn’t too overgassed with a suppressor. The muzzle brake end cap on the Omega suppressor helps offset the additional gas in your rifle’s gas system. Even with a well-tuned gas system, a suppressor can make your rifle recoil a bit more sharply. But, similar to the 36M, the sound is more of a thump than a crack, which makes it comfortable enough without hearing protection.Īlso, the muzzle brake end cap is surprisingly effective, especially for an AR-15. Even with the 30 caliber end cap, the report is relatively quiet. But this suppressor is rated for full-auto fire with calibers up to 300 Winchester Magnum.Īdditionally, the sound suppression is excellent. There’s no two piece design to give you the option for a shorter form factor. It’s not quite as versatile as the 36M, because it’s a single-piece suppressor.

And it’s one of the more popular suppressors on the market. The SilencerCo Omega Suppressor is one of my favorite multi-caliber suppressors. Ultimately, this suppressor is an affordable option if you want a dedicated 5.56mm suppressor that will live on one of your rifles or that you use on multiple 5.56mm rifles. But you can replace the MAAD mount with an ASR mount, if you want. The MAAD mount is a little bulkier than the ASR mount. You basically just screw the suppressor onto the mount and the spring tension locks it in place. Some people like the MAAD mount better than the ASR mount, because the operation is simpler. Most people probably wouldn’t notice the difference between the two suppressors without sound measuring equipment.Īlso, the Saker 556 comes with the SilencerCo MAAD mount. However, there is an upside: this suppressor makes 5.56mm slightly quieter than the 36M, thanks to the 5.56mm muzzle cap. It’s the limited versatility that makes this suppressor less expensive. In many ways, the Saker 556 is just a SilencerCo 36M without the two-piece design and multi-caliber support. It’s similar to the Saker 556, but less expensive. Quick Tip: If you want to save even more money, get the discontinued Specwar 762 before it’s gone. The SilencerCo Saker 556 is one of the most affordable AR-15 suppressors out there. If you can only have one suppressor for all your guns, this SilencerCo is the one to get. The suppressor itself has held up incredibly well. Mine developed a gray stripe somewhere around 1000 rounds.īut that’s just aesthetics. My only complaint is that the finish discolors pretty quickly if you get your suppressor hot. It’s more pleasant than many other suppressors if you happen to be shooting without hearing protection. I don’t have any sound measuring equipment.īut the sound is more of a thump than a crack.

And the muzzle brake is one of the better muzzle brakes, even without the suppressor DQ mount. The ASR muzzle devices are also excellent. But we’ve burned down a few SilencerCo suppressors on full-auto guns. So far, I’ve never had to use a tool to remove a SilencerCo ASR mounted suppressor. And it resists carbon locking pretty well. I’m also a big fan of the SilencerCo ASR mount. It’s a true do-it-all suppressor, which is a rare thing. There are a couple of reasons why I really like this suppressor: the versatility and QD mount.įirst, this is one of the few suppressors that works with both rifle and handgun calibers. The SilencerCo 36M is one of my favorite suppressors, and one of the few that I’ve actually spent my own money to buy.
