I'm thinking about getting in the suppressor game in the next few months. I know an AUG isn't exactly the greatest thing to suppress. I'd like to get something universal but the AUG would probably be one of it's main hosts. Something in .30 cal and QD? I've read that works best with an AUG anyways (.30 cal). Throw some suggestions at me as I really have no first hand knowledge on anything Suppressor related. What are you guys using? Help me!

I have ran a SDN6 for a few years on my Augs and it works great. It is not the quietest can but works well on the Aug system.

I'm getting my paperwork in order for a Griffin Armament RSTA which is a .30 cal reflex suppressor. I really like the idea of a Reflex can on a bullpup, and the Griffin looks to be a good alternative to the few reflex cans on the market.
I would've like to get the Allen Engineering AEM5-30 or a similar can, but I don't want to get the barrel re-profiled for the collar. |

Nope I just ran the standard plug that came with rifle. I would like to try out the new plug they are making sometime.

You can Efile and build your own can and get it approved in a faction of time of a form 4

Quoted: You can get by with a drill press, maybe a dremel if you are steady handed. If not, I'd recommend a Can with less back pressure as the AUG us already over gassed View Quote |

[#11]
All reflex cans and something like the OSS cans will either reduce or negate back pressure.
Allen Engineering makes reflex cans, Griffin used to but I only see the RSTAs which are their .30 cal reflex cans. |

I’d recommend talking with Ratworx. Years ago, I purchased their AUG specific can that has a special attachment to the gas system which prevents the gas port “Pop.” With this set up its almost as quiet as my AR w/ M42000.
At first I had cycle issues, I wasn’t very good about responding to Ratworx and it took a while, but their customer service was excellent and they invested the time to make this work with my gun and loads (full power 5.56). It’s now one of my favorite set-ups. What I appreciate most is the stellar customer service they have - they went out of their way, time after time, to make me happy. I guess it also depends on what you’re looking for - the Ratworx can is 8” and weighs 26 oz. If you’re looking for enough suppression to take the edge off and want a super light can for CQB - this might not be for you. I’ll see if I can get a video posted here in the next few days. |

The issue with universal will be a mount to fit the LH threads. You might consider a 1/2x28 adapter and get a “mini” can like Surefire mini, AAC Mini-4 or Saker 556K.

Why not wait and see how the one Steyr is coming out with turns out?

Myself and others have been begging Steyr for either A. 1/2x28 RH threaded barrels or B. unthreaded barrels so we can at least start off with something to work with rather than dick around with combining metric threads and standard threaded muzzle devices.
10 years since the AUG is back in the USA. It's time to step up Steyr. |

I've run a Saker 762 and currently run a SAS M47 on mine. Like has been mentioned the barrel threads are a PIA. I used a AAC mount for the Saker (CRAP, at least with SiCo's 51t adapter). Tim made me a correctly threaded mount for the M47 and that's what I run now. Would love to have one of the old reflex cans that used the FH.
Also, ADCO will put new threads on your muzzle in 1/2x28. |

I have a suppressor plug, and it helps for sure. The AUG is pretty well sealed up, most of the gas leakage comes out the butt pad and leaves nice carbon deposits on your shirt. Not much difference between the Saker and the M47, they are roughly the same size with the exception of the exit.

Yankee Hill ULT on one, SDN6 on another. Because those are the only two companies that have made 13x1 LH muzzle devices readily available.

I think Tuukka from Ase stated the AUG simply does not suppress well at all.
I use a 30 cal Surefire can, not known for great suppression but also low back pressure. It's not as quiet as an AR but it certainly is a lot better than no can at all. |

I use a Surefire Micro on my MSAR E4
As other's have said, this platform isn't the quietest, but it's a whale of a difference with/without a can. Plus the SF can's have such low backpressure that I've not had any issues with cycyling. I just use the factor gas plug and it runs fine on or off. I have a SF Micro that I use with the MSAR. It's only 4 ish inches long, so it keeps the system as short package as it was meant to be. Cuts down the muzzle blast to reasonable amounts, and since you're so close to the muzzle on a bullpup, that's a nice advantage. I think SF makes (occasionally) a left handed flash hider for the AUG, so that, plus one of their Mini cans would be a drop in package, without having to fool with different gas plugs. |

I have an AAC 240 SD .308 suppressor that I use on all of my rifles from .308 down to 5.56. I have changed all of the flash hiders out to the AAC Blackout 51T flash hider/sound suppressor Quick Detach unit. That way I simply and quickly screw on/off the suppressor onto the Blackout flash hider, no matter whether it's a 5.56 or .308 rifle. AAC makes the Blackout Flash hider/QD suppressor mount for most rifle threads. They even make one to fit the standard Steyr Aug barrel left hand threads. No shim is needed either. I have one on my Steyr Aug A3, but, don't have access to a shooting range where I can try it out for sound reduction.

I'm currently running a Surefire SOCOM 7.62 mini and the supressor gas plug.
Runs great with this combo, not super quiet but it works. Helps that surefire has an AUG mount. |

[#32]
I use a silencerco hybrid.
My AUG was rethreaded by ADCO. I don’t have cycle issues and I’m using the factory plug. |

View Quote Add: Those questions are directed at all respondents. At the moment I'm going back and forth between an OSS HX QD 7.62 and a YHM Resonator. This can will likely spend most of its life on my AUG but I'd like the option to move it to other platforms should need arise. I'm not made of money so the Resonator seems like a great option with YHM also making a direct mount for the AUG. But if a Baffle style can (even with a suppressor plug) is going to cause a significant increase in the items listed on top, I'll suck it up and get the OSS and a thread adaptor (They have 2 free muzzle devices with can purchase till the end of the year). |

Well I went with the YHM Resonator. The mounting system and value were too much to pass up
