I was wondering if anyone could tell me the length added from the Silencer Specwar 556?
I cannot seem to find this bit of information anywhere.

Specs are all on Silencerco's website

Are you asking the length - the portion that slips over the barrel on the brake/FH?

The full size 556 Specwar is 7 1/8" OAL, and adds roughly about 6 3/4" from the muzzle without any shims or washers, IIRC.

It's about 7.5"

How would it be longer than the OAL?

I'm looking for the extra length the suppressor adds to the rifle.

It could be found from how far the silencer covers the flash hider using something like: (Amount over Flash hider) - (Total length) = length added.

Other manufacturers often list the length added to the rifle on their specs.
Example below taken from Griffin Armament Recce 5 specs.

Overall Length:6.2”
Length Added:        3.8”

5.56 Specwar: http://www.silencerco.com/products/specwar/
Length: 7.3" (I assume that includes the mount...I could be wrong)
Typical AR-15 threads: 0.625"
Total length beyond muzzle:  6.675"

When you figure in the OAL length of the rifle out to the end of the FH, then the length added is going to quite a bit LESS than what have been stated.  It's going to be more like 5" added to OAL.

Hope this helps.

OP, length added is a flawed metric, as not all flash hiders are the same length.

It's like telling you that I'm 8 feet tall while standing on my couch.

The Specwar only fits on two mounts...It is a QD mount with the ASR flash hider or brake
