Depends how much you want to spend. If you Form 1 a lower for SBR it will just be a $200 tax stamp and maybe the cost for a Trust if you get a lawyer to make you one. If you get the suppressor it will still be the same $200 tax stamp and maybe trust fee along with the additional price of the suppressor and sales tax.

If you can't do both, do the can FIRST!
It'll give you something to play with while you're waiting for the SBR... ~WTS |

Do an SBR in 5.56 and get a good 22LR can at the same time.
Get a 5.5" dedicated 22LR upper and a factory-threaded Ruger MKIII (or a 22LR handgun of your choosing) and have fun.   |

I was thinking about getting a 5.56 can and using it both on my ar and .22, is this a bad idea?
If so, from my experience shooting friends cans, .22 are the most fun /predator versatile, I'd just get a dedicated. 22 can. |

Use dedicated cans for their purpose, ie rifle can as a rifle can, rimfire as rimfire. 22 is really dirty and unless you have a user serviceable 556 can (or have it jailbroke) get the 22 can for 1st can.
That being said, go SBR 1st. Depending on your state, you can build it on a virgin lower pistol, work out the kinks while waiting, then sbr it when the stamp comes in. Thats what I did, 1 yr later I bought/ and waiting for my 2 cans. |

If I could only do one, I'd start with the can. That way it'll be more enjoyable to shoot while I wait for the SBR paperwork later on.

.22 can first!!!!
And, after you've recovered financially, file for an SBR or two... But you know what? For me, I get more enjoyment from a suppressor; because it DOES something. SBR don't really do much except for remove 6 inches of barrel...the gun is still sounds the same, shoots the same, but just looks a lil shorter. My main focus was getting the suppressors, and then if I came up with an extra $200, I filed an F1 to SBR something in between my suppressor buying/waiting. YMMV. ~WTS |

Get the SBR paperwork rolling on a lower you already own.
Then take your time shopping for a silencer, and get the one you really want. |

I would suggest the SBR because it will get your feet wet with the process and it could be the least expensive route if you assemble it all yourself.
With that said a .22 can is considered the "gateway drug" of NFA so you gotta have one eventually. It would also let you decide whether you thought it was worth the money to buy other cans for other toys in the future. Do you already have a host for the can if you bought one? If not, there is a more expense.

Yes. I have an old .22 that has a threaded barrel, it has hosted a good buddies Outback II from time to time. I also have a Ruger Mark II that could be upgraded to fill the pistol host role. |

I do not like SBRs.
If you're not putting a can on the rifle, what good does a short barrel do? Increase muzzle blast? Decrease velocity? I'm a shooter, I don't care about how tacticool a rifle looks. Or what theoretical tacticool advantages are present. A suppressor, on the other hand, is an actual useful object. My vote is: suppressor. |

I say .22 suppressor first, then SBR. Because the SBR will demand a can of it's own as step 3.
Then step 4 comes and you get a pistol cal can... then another SBR... Soon you wake up and notice you have a larger stamp collection than your grandpa. |

I would go with a can first.
I did it the opposite (SBR'd 2 rifles then bought 2 cans). Looking back I wish I had done the cans first. |

I did SBR, SBR, .22can, and just bought my 2nd can (762-SDN-6). If I was going to do it again, I think I'd do can first. As someone else mentioned, a can does something. The SBRs look awesome, though.
SBR is going to be the cheapest NFA route.
I would SBR a lower you already have and buy a .22 can as well. Both of these combined can easily be cheaper than buying a 5.56 can. As you get more money (i.e. further away from the wedding, etc.), then you can buy a .22 conversion and then have a suppressed .22 SBR, a "regular" SBR, and a can that can go to your other hosts. |
