Best .223/5.56 rifle to suppress is a bolt action rifle

I should clarify: best semi-auto. I do love my bolt guns though and will be using them quite a bit

The one you own. All ar15 are going to to be loud. All semi automatics are going to be loud. All bullets breaking the sound barrier are going to be loud. Just pick one and go with it. I have 4 different 30 Cal cans and that are all loud.
There is nothing magical about supersonic rounds and suppressors which all are over 130db. If you are concerned about gas there all all sorts of products that mitigate it. My 11.5 sbr has no gas blow back with a slr adjustable gas block, bcm charging handle, and an omega suppressor. |

"Best 5.56 autoloading rifle to suppress" will generally be the one with the shortest barrel since short tubes impart the loudest, worst concussive blast, both laterally and rearward.
Without the can on, the decibel level from firing a 5.56 rd will cause the most auditory damage, and it only gets worse if fired inside a structure. |

Hi all, Any thoughts? In particular, I am wondering about gas/particulate blowback that I've heard is pretty significant from ARs when running them with a can.. longer barrels will have longer lock times=less gas its going to happen no matter what |

AR15 duh... Very quiet host, especially with an adjustable gas block.

In semi a hk33 or hk53 or clones. Roller delay or any delay that does not use gas. DI blows gas back. Piston has pop noise.

A high quality properly gassed AR15 is a great host. No need for a piston gun, adjustable gas block, or special carrier.
My LMT 10.5" SBR is my favorite host. Very pleasant to shoot suppressed, with virtually no noticeable blowback to the face. My second favorite host would be my Tavor SAR |

My Bren 805 is the best 5.56 rifle I have found to run suppressed out of the box. Way better than an AR, better than a unmodified Tavor by a fair bit.

That said, even though not quiet, sure beats the muzzle blast without the can on. To the OP, I run both DI and piston (non AR) with my cans, and sound wise, honestly I can't tell the difference between the two. I wouldn't buy another rifle just because you're worried about running a can on it. Now...if you want to use it as an excuse to buy another gun, well, I'm certain we've all had some screwed up logic on why we need another gun

an MCX or a Robinson Arms XCR. Both have suppressor settings you can access without the need for tools or taking the gun apart. Some piston AR uppers also have easily accessible gas regulators.

The HK roller-delayed guns like the HK33 or clones like the C93 are going to be hard to beat.
