5.56 & 223 Suppressors

TL;DR: Rifle cans sized for 5.56 NATO and 223 Rem, the natural match for AR-15 rifles and pistols. Most thread on at 1/2x28 or lock onto a quick detach mount. On the same rifle, a dedicated 5.56 can is usually shorter, lighter and quieter than a 30 cal can.

5.56 & 223 Suppressors FAQ

Can I run a 5.56 can on a short barrel?

Check the minimum barrel length on the product page. Short barrels run hotter and harder on the first baffle, and many cans list a minimum.

Will a 30 cal can work on my AR-15?

Usually, if it is rated for 5.56. It will be a little louder and heavier than a dedicated 5.56 can. See 308 & 30 Cal Suppressors.

Will my zero change?

Often a little. Re-zero with the can on, and expect more gas back toward your face on a direct impingement AR.
