Specwar 556 on SBR

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Specwar 556 on SBR

Post by IneedsomeNFA »

What experienced do you guys have using the silencerco specwar 556 on sbrs? I am building a 10.3" SBR at the moment and my plan so far is to mount a specwar 556 on it. I was impressed when silencerco showed the specwar 556 being 3DB less on an 18" ar as opposed to the saker 556. How is the specwar 556 on a 10.3" vs a saker 556? would a specwar 556 still be quieter as opposed to the saker on an sbr that short?

I've got one on an 11.5" barrel and really like it. Weight is good, it balances well, and suppression is adequate. I've shot probably 2k rounds through it so far, including many mag dumps, and have noticed no wear on the blast baffle. I like it so much, I'm actually thinking about adding the 'k' version to my collection as well.

Hopefully its a piston, otherwise it will jam up pretty quick. DI guns run much better with a 30 cal can. A friend just put one together and we tried both of my Specwars. There were zero problems with the 762 can on it.
