Monocore for 5.56mm. Will it work?

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

Monocore for 5.56mm. Will it work?

Post by LavaRed »

So that's the question. Would a monocore work well on this caliber? Intended platforms would be AR's from 10.5" to 18"

Thanks,
Lava

Everything I've seen, read and heard the answer would be no, it would not work well for that caliber or in those barrel lengths.
I think you will get some reduction based on volume alone, but not good suppression.

Look at Liberty, they have several monocores in 5.56.

All about the design.

I have a coworker running Templar Nemesis on his 10.5" AR and it works great.
