Only can I know of that will warranty use on a 5.56 shorter than 10" is Huntertown Arms. The explicitly warranty anything but stupid, and are designed to be user serviceable. Heavy, but not expensive. Biggest risk on a barrel that short is early erosion and baffle strikes from unstabilized rounds.

I hear what your saying here, but I'm going to recommend a aac m2000 or a yhm phantom in SS. I'd get the YHM if I knew I was going to use it on a 7.5in they are really strong. Well OPSinc might be a good choice as well. The fact that you can take a can apart is cool for pistols and other low pressure stuff. The big boys in the game all weld their high power stuff for a reason, those cans blow up. |

this sure gets asked a lot,
a search will get you good research, Thunderbeast huntertown arms Ops Inc someone mentioned the silencerco specwar, but i havent researched it others have been used, just dont expect a warranty from a post that i marked from AAC - The 762-SDN-6 is covered on 6.8 barrels as short as 7.5”. It is important that you check for stability of the rounds you plan of using before installing the silencer on a barrel this short. If you do not experience any key holing, or jacket separation, with the rounds you plan on using, you are good to go. |

I believe the guys at ADCO run Ops cans on 7.5s with good results.

One more thing, make sure its a QD can and run a brake on the gun so that the $80 brake takes the main blast. |

The biggest question in what is the twist rate of your barrel?
There was a local PD that bought some DPMS rifles with the 7.5" barrels for suppressor use. Big problems.. DPMS uses a 1/9 twist on their barrels even the 7.5" |

Saker perhaps? Call silencer CO about it. They use a stronger material than inconel.

When I was looking for a rifle can, I emailed AAC and was told that the 7.63 SDN6 was rated for 7.5.

I've put thousands and thousands of rounds through my Chromoly QD 5.56 Phantom.
Mostly full auto. 7.5" Barrel. No issues, some erosion the little raised edge is still there on the blast baffle. I won't use my SS 5.56 Phantom on anything under 10.5" though. I buldged a Phantom .308 on my SB Ma-Ten in F/A. Sent the 10" .308 upper into YHM with the wrecked can. 3 weeks had new internals and endcaps on my can and no invoice. Nate went Above and Beyond. YHM is really cool about warranty if you act like an adult and contact them with hat in hand. The Ma-Ten wears a 7.62SDN-6 now. |

If you guys insist on running a 7.5 as a suppressor host, why not select a more appropriate caliber for the application, such as 300 BLK or 9mm? With those calibers, a 7.5 inch barrel will actually give you a chance to realize their ballistic potential. A 7.5 inch 5.56 carbine, on the other hand, has little useful application, except for perhaps very loud and annoying blasting, and fails to make much use of the 5.56's ballistic potential. So why try to "suppress" the only arguable merit of a 7.5 inch 5.56 carbine (being loud and annoying), all while risking premature erosion to your $700-1200 sound suppressor investment?
