This is the video I needed for a long time! Great, simple explanation of parts needed to build a suppressed AR.
I understand the cost of production. But I have access to tools and the know how to make my own. I just can’t bring myself to jump through any hoops and a tax stamp to have something I have a right to.
@0:45 i was like damn not again, then found out it was the video

Best suppressor video I've ever seen.
I’m running a H3 on my 16 and 18. Runs great.
I took home Sunday omega 36m i purchased from you guys , got direct tread and 30 cal end cap with flash hider , got it on my 16" 300 blackout, took 10 shoots without ear muffs and it was loud enough where my ears rand , i realized i needed adjustable gas block because bolt slap was to strong got tons of ejection port gas slap. Saturday gas block will be delivered and i will tune it down as much as possible where it will only work suppressed subsonic no other ammo , do you honestly think i need to spend another $160 on buffer to reduce more decibel or it won't be even worth it after good adjustable gas block tune ? Thanks for good video good job
Does anyone know if these guys are still in business.10 months and still haven't received my purchess
Do you guy sell the your builds buy chance with instructional specifics to the build in writing?
I went with a superlative arms adjustable gas block and a radian raptor SD charging handle and an armaspec adjustable silent capture buffer spring running a silencer co 36m in the short configuration with a 556 flash hider end cap and my 10.5 fucks hard. And YES tinnitus eats ass.
Sweet!
Why not just design a suppressor that doesn't require you to overhaul your rifle? I.e screw on/off.
A real PITA having to rebuild the gun just for a few db reduction.
Sprinco helped me.
Should I buy another nice AR or a suppressor for one of the 2 AR’s that I already own?
Excellent video..bit cheeky and fun with the comments lol.
Great video
Your linktr URL is not working.
Which suppressor are you using?
I'm suprised this hasn't been taken down. I can't believe this is legal…. video is a honeypot of people to put on a watchlist?
Shhhhhhhhh
Pretty sure the bolt travel on a carbine, A5, and rifle length is all the same. The extra buffer tube length is taken up by the same amount of extra buffer
A can solves the gassy AR? RUOK?
Sub- sonic ammo is critical. Ammo I use doesn't allow for carrier cycling. Sucks but runs like a pellet gun. What ammo are you running in the video?
Armaspec captured spring is a cheaper option to the JP springs and is also really, really good. I've used both. Cannot overstate how amazing these options are. Not just twang, but with the Armaspec SRS multi-stage spring specifically, it's significantly smoother and a much nicer recoil impulse.
How does a suppressor effect accuracy? Considering one for nighttime coyote hunting. Less annoying to farm owner and neighbors…imo. Great channel. Subbed.
Just great….Now I have to rebuild my rifle….lol great video.
I have the dead are San tan and I love it works great on my 300 blackout my 5.5 and hopefully my 9 when I get it
I'm 9310
This is a PRO video.
Mmmm ucwrg stuff
Great, quick overview to get us started.
The Radian charging handle doesn’t do anything for gas coming back. It’s a good charging handle in general, but the gas reduction claim is snake oil. The SilencerCo one is the only charging handle that makes an obvious improvement to gas.
I’ve had good luck with just a h3 buffer and stronger springco spring. Several thousand rounds through both my Geissele 11.5” and BCM 14.5” without any suppression related issues.
The Radian Charging Handle is by far the worst charging handle at gas mitigation. It doesn’t properly seal around the top of the upper receiver, allowing gas to escape directly into your face. The Geissele SCH and Silencer Co charging handle are far better. Also, if you’re running an adjustable gas block, wouldn’t it make more sense to use a lighter buffer and spring? It would require less gas to cycle the weapon and since you can restrict the gas with the adjustable block that would seem more ideal
Did he just say hes using a jp silent captured spring with an a5 buffer tube



umm. how is an A5 longer travel? that's limited by the bolt carrier. if that's what it did, the gas key would be smashing the back of the receiver and it would most definitely not be "smoother shooting"
Hard to trust this guy if he doesn't even realize a silent capture spring in an A5 tube is useless
IMo nowdays every ar15 no matter if it is piston or DI or Ar18. It should have adjustable gas block…
Why don’t you guys get some thunderbeasts in stock.. everything you have is out of stock…
Buy a Daniel Defense DDMV7 and be done – I’ve never once had to do anything but take my can on and off. 5500
rounds and countless different ammos with and without a can – zero failures
Love that charging handle but it absolutist does not stop gas from getting in my eyes
JP Enterprises' captured spring system is a must.
I can not stress how nice it is to not hear and feel the twang.
I just have to say that using JP SCS in an A5 buffer tube makes NO sense. JP SCS requires a spacer to run in an A5 tube that makes it just as long as the standard carbine length tube. Also there is no "longer travel" in an A5 system, even with its standard buffer and spring setup.
What's the quietest suppressor for 223/556, that you folks @ SilencerShop would recommend?
Why use an A5 tube with silent capture spring? The spring uses a spacer so the extra length is wasted.
Man, I can’t believe Will is doing this video. This is awesome.
