Suppressor for s&w sport ar-15?
I've been googling to learn more about the options related to getting a silencer for my ar15 in 223 caliber but everything seems to point toward 22s. I'm not interested in suppressing a 22. Has anyone suppressed a 223and if so,,what are my options,
Edit based on below, I am aware of the complicated and costly process to get a suppressor. I am willing to do that subject to finding more evidence around the practicality of suppressing the sw and how much it really helps. I shot a blackout 300 and it was amazing but I'm told that is one benefits more from a suppressor than most guns |
I would suggest you go to a few shops that sell them and have them explain things to you
there is special paperwork that MUST be filled out to BUY one, they are not a cash and carry deal I would also suggest getting a .30 cal suppressor and then you will have more use's for it, you can SHOOT .233's thru it too, so will double up as a possible other rifle suppressor for you that or go onto a suppressor forum, lots of good one's out there today and will get you up to speed on thing and show and tell more options for you, they are a never ending changing area |
The process isn't complicated, and honestly, it doesn't even take much ACTIVE time to complete. The times I've gone through it, it wasn't really any more difficult to go through getting a CCW license, or a U.S. Passport for that matter. The ~6-10 month wait doesn't actually require any effort or action on your part.
Setting up a TRUST, while a good idea for some folks, IS a little more complicated. If you're only buying one suppressor, don't bother with a Trust. If you might buy a second or third someday, it's worth the time, effort, and the $300ish for the lawyer. Once the Trust is established, it does seem to speed things up, as you can't really do a background check on a legal Trust. If you buy your first one without a Trust, then want to start a Trust later, you SHOULD be able to transfer the can to the Trust, the only difference being expense. Personally, if I started over from scratch, I would buy 4 titanium cans, two 22cal specific, and two 338 or 30cal's; one of each for my wife and I, and lots of QD mounts for them for our respective rifles. We shoot enough 223/5.56 for me to justify having a specific can for our AR's, leaving the other cans for the rest of our rigs. I'm hoping my NEXT suppressor will be by OSS, and if it lasts well, I'll eventually have 4 OSS's in those flavors. A few words of advice for buying cans - I'm sure someone more knowledgeable and experienced with Suppressors will come along and call all of this bullschitt and teach me something new, but the following opinions are based on my experience:
