For those here that are running supressors on their M16s.  What are you using.  I have more 556 cans than I do rifles, all of which are AAC or Surefire of one design or another for different uses etc.  I'm sure I will end up trying them all on my Colt but I am curious what others are using and why. I searched the archives but didn't find much.

AAC m4-2k (08 model) and SWR Specwar-2. The Specwar-2 recently went back to SilencerCo to have the bilock mount swapped out for their ASR mount.

TAC-16

I don't really care that it's heavier than many other suppressor.  I rarely if ever shoot from anything else But the Prone position.  So its weight makes the rifle that much more resistant to recoil.  In fact the only thing I Don't like about it is the way it is such a heat sink.

Gemtech TREK-T on a 10.5" barrel.  Not particularly quiet but good enough for what I bought it for.

Best of luck with whatever you decide to pursue.

Your m4-2000 will be fine. Get some high temp paint if looks bother you.

No back-to-back mag dumps - just occasional bursts, so no problemo.  I'd certainly go to a larger, all stainless steel and Inconel unit for extensive full auto shooting.

Old old school Gemtech M4-96D.  I use it on my MVP Flex bolt gun:

plus 2 uppers (11.5" & 14.5" M4) for the 16.

When i spoke with a gemtech rep he said the Trek-T was rated for full auto, but he advised not doing high volumes of fire, ie back to back mag dumps or shooting belt fed until it starts to glow.

I went with the Gemtech GMT556LE, its a thread on suppressor that has he same exterior dimensions and design as the Trek-T but has heavier duty baffles.
http://www.gem-tech.com/store/pc/GMT-556LE-p978.htm

As mentioned the Trek-T is not the quietest suppressor on the market but its one of the lightest and shortest. When paired with a 10.5" barrel it makes for a very comfortable rifle to shoot. I dont know how people can stand shooting with a suppressor that weighs 20+ oz plus the weight of the QD mount/flash hider.

And another GemTech M4-96D...  Mine is on a AR15 Model 614 with a 14.5" barrel and a Smith Enterprises flash suppressor with bi-lock mount.  It also has duty on a Colt 6920 with 16" barrel, and an ancient Eagle Arms EA-15 HBAR with 20" barrel.

AAC 240 SD. Didn't want to have to buy multiple suppressors for multiple weapons. It works very well on .308 and 5.56 rifles.

I run an old American Manufacturer XXX Warrior on my shrike.

My registered receiver M16 is set up with a 10.5" barrel and a 51th AAC hider and runs a AAC M42000.

I also have a SWR Renegade Suppressor that I use with other uppers occasionally with my M16 as the Renegade can attach to any A2 flash hider.

All work well for their intended purpose.  I don't see much difference between the Renegade and the M42000 other than one is an A2 fast attach and the other is a proprietary mount.

I went with a Saker.  It's great, but if I had it to do over I would have gone with a trek-t or the new GMT-556LE for weight.  With my setup I only need a thread mount since the upper gas is tuned to run suppressed 100% and would like a lighter suppressor and save the weight of the flash hider.  I can get a thread only mount for the Saker and probably will to save a little more weight and about 3/4" off the suppressor.

I have ran my saker and spec war 7.62.

Did some massive mag dumps with the saker at a match it ran great.  Until a round got stuck in the chamber and the BCG could extract it. Got it out with a cleaning rod.


M16 is 1:50 mark, had a bad DOPE for my long range gun

I'd also have not gone with the Saker if I could do it over again.  The MAAD mount is nothing but trouble.

You can put several different types of mount on it. Haven't had any problems with the trifecta mount though.

The can sticks and jams on.  I've had it happen 4 times, most recently had to send the whole thing with a stuck flash hider in it back tobsilencerco.  I have two friends who also purchase sakers and have had the same problem.  One is on his third MAAD mount.

Have you tried using nickel antiseize? I've never had to use it but I've seen it mentioned before. Also take it off when the can is still hot.

It doesn't specifically say so on their website but I would assume that it is as almost all of their 5.56 rifle suppressors are. Just call up their customer service and they will let you know. Also there is a GMT-Halo which is a bit more expensive but is made of titanium, much lighter and full auto rated.

All my rifle cans are 30cal, since I play with lots of variants. Currently have:

- SDN-6
- Two Saker 762s
- Harvester

Next can will probably be a Saker 556k. Then, a Saker 762k, if that ever comes out.
