AR Suppressor - Need Recs

For dedicated 5.56, it’s hard to pass up the YHM Turbo T2 or Turbo K. But I’d highly recommend looking into a .30cal can. Still get good enough suppression on 5.56, and opens the door for other hosts. TBAC Dominus, Dead Air Nomad, Q Trash Panda are some of the more recent offerings from reputable companies that get praise. Silencerco Omega is also a great can.

I have a Silencerco .30 cal and it works fine on 5.56 rounds. That’s a good route to take and allows for a 300 blackout platform with the suppressor.

I want to be able to shoot foxes and coyotes at night around my house without scaring the piss out of neighbors. I know it won’t be whisper quiet, but it will certainly be better than raw dogging.

I'm kinda in the same boat but I have a 30 cal need. I have a 5.56 and a 7.62.

I've decided the Trash Panda is the ideal silencer for what I'm looking for, but they are very difficult to find and hella expensive right now when you do find them. Probably not a realistic purchase unless I'm willing to wait a lot longer before I take possession. More than just the wait for the tax stamp to clear.

I think what I will end up with is a SilencerCo Omega 300 or Omega 36M.

My thought process is to get a higher quality can. I could go out and find one a few hundred cheaper, but I want one that is built more solidly with Titanium or Ti and Stainless baffles. I'll spend the $300-$500 more to get what I really want especially since the tax stamp is a flat cost and I'm guessing a lesser grade can will leave me wanting a better one in the end anyway.

I see guys saying you still need hearing protection even with silencers, but I've been around guys shooting 6.5's and 5.56's and it was not bad on the ears. We were in an open area and not in a controlled environment though.

One thing that caught me off guard was the amount of heat the suppressor absorbs with just a few rounds. They get sizzling hot with just a few rounds. Makes sense, but just never thought about it.

As far as the process, you find the suppressor you want and pay for the suppressor and tax stamp at the same time. If the can has to be ordered, you pay for the can and FFL fee, then you can't file for the stamp until the dealer has the can in their possession. So if the suppressor is back ordered, you wait for the suppressor to come in, then the NFA clearance wait time starts. It's not possible to serve the wait time concurrently. They have to have the suppressor and serial number in hand to file the paperwork. Once they send the paperwork off, then you wait.

Our local dealer will let you go shoot the suppressor on their range, but you cannot leave the premises with the suppressor until the paperwork clears.

Anyone who has actually gone through the process, please clarify if any of this is inaccurate as I'm a noob to suppression as well.

so a basic 30cal supressor is able to be used on a wide range of calibers?

There are manufacturer’s restrictions on the various cans, based on design, what its made of, etc. But for the most part any round with a bullet .30cal or smaller. (.308, 300BLK, 6.5 creedmoor, 5.56 to name a few.)

Oh, I saw that he had a Colt 5.56 and those are knee-jerk reactions for that gun.

It's not cheap but I went cheaper on my first can looking for a do-it-all solution and regret it.

Understand totally. I went surefire mini in a dedicated 5.56 can. It only sees two guns and really only one gun these days. A 14.5 franken build with a DD barrel. The other gun is a 10.3 mk18 clonish type rifle.

It’s an absolute dream to shoot on the 14.5.
