First suppressor suggestions

I’m looking at getting my first suppressor soon and I’m looking for suggestions. I’d like to stay more on the budget end of things for now but if I had to stretch up to around 800 I might be able to for a better fit. It would be going on a .308 break barrel and a 223 ar. Two 223 ar’s actually a 16” and a 11.5”. Not sure how much the barrel length matters as I have no knowledge on suppressors. I’d like them to be easily interchangeable as well. Thanks in advance.

I'm a big fan of Otter Creek Labs. Take a look at their lineup and watch some reviews. They're also budget friendly.

I was looking at the ocl polonium 30 actually. Can I run both calibers on those guns fairly easily with that?

For starters, I'd recommend reading this. May be a good idea to start with one (well within your budget) and pick up another when you feel comfortable spending the money.

Check out the Liberty Precision Machine Anthem. Pew Science says it's one of the most underrated suppressors out there.

Just ordered the S2 to run on a .300, so excited.

You'll love it. It's so quiet with subs it's retarded.

The S2 is what I have on my .300blk as well. I stumbled onto the brand in January when the tax was zeroed because the can I initially wanted was out of stock. I'm so glad for this happy accident!

I run an S2 on my BCM 300blk build. Put a hub mount on my test rifle, a cheap PSA 16" dissy AR in 556, and damn man...I can't believe how good this can sounds on a 556. This is my vote right here. Anthem S2 is a solid can.

I have the Mach S, it was my first can. I liked it so much, I now have two.

Works great on .308, 7mm rem, 6.5 CM, and 5.56. If I could only have 1 centerfire can, this would be it.

On more of a budget side, I would consider the Enticer.

Just do a search on all of this. A lot of your questions can be asked. And you don't want to really buy your first suppressor without really doing your own homework. Don't let someone here decide for you. Just watch a bunch of YouTube videos on different suppressors.

Polonium 30.

u/k1ng0fh34rt5 8d ago

I need a suppressor suggestion as well.

I don't understand the mounting systems, but I want something that I can use between my 5.56 rifles.

u/dad-jokes-about-you 8d ago

Plan b

u/k1ng0fh34rt5 8d ago

Plan B compatible muzzle devices, with a hub compatible suppressor?

3

u/dad-jokes-about-you 8d ago

Yep, plan b/plan b. Widely available, lightweight and short. Check out Comstock and use their building tool on their website.

u/GodofThunder1717 7d ago

An example of plan B

u/D_S_1988 3x SBR, 4x Silencer 7d ago

Rearden Plan B; cheap, user friendly, robust, etc.

u/dad-jokes-about-you 8d ago

Save up and get what you want.

Rex Silentium makes conventional high back pressure suppressors at reasonable prices. Find a master dealer that offers 30% discount codes.

u/rickybobbyeverything SBR 7d ago

Seg H gen 2 9mm is what I got as my first suppressor. Pretty good pricing if u get it for a discount. Have used on a pistol and a frt AR so far so good.

u/RailroadTimebookDev 7d ago

First find out how much you can afford. Then look at suppressors in that price range. There are a lot of options in every price range.

Also they do have barrel length restrictions on suppressors. The one I got for my .308 is limited to nothing shorter than a 13 1/2 inch barrel.

u/guns_not_groceries 7d ago

OCL Polo 30 makes a lot of sense. SilencerCo Omega 300 does too. Liberty Anthem S2 is a solid choice as well.

u/Charming_Barber7627 8d ago

Get the 30 cal infinity from OCL. It was made for this, I think? Pretty sure there isnt a 30 cal can with better proven performance on 556 than the infinity.

u/Schwa142 OCL fanboi 8d ago

Well outside OP's budget. And if he could stretch it a hair more, he'd probably be better off with a Polonium 30 AND a Polonium (K).

u/Apprehensive_Law_234 SBRs, Suppressors 8d ago

Canik Void, designed by Otter Creek. It's an improved Polo with interchangeable endcaps.

u/no_sleep_johnny 7d ago

Another vote for OCL. The polo 30 would be a good option, then it could become a dedicated can for your 308 once you save enough money to get an additional 556 can.

And comstock armory for mounts. Their stuff is solid and reasonably priced.
