You might want to try the M16 - Full Auto forum.

I'm going to be getting Gem-Tech HALO in the coming months. It attaches directly to a mil-spec flash suppressor (A2 style). The typical thread pitch for 5.56 NATO barrels is 1/2x28.

I own a can for my M-16. Problem I see is .223 is not a real good candidate for a can if you want to be VERY quiet. .223 is supersonic so a ballitic crack is a certainty. Subsonic rounds eliminate that problem but render the round very ineffective. Still a lot of fun!!
Just the opinion of an owner..... |

That makes a lot of sense.
perhaps a 9MM upper is in the cards.  Chris |

9mm is also supersonic but heavy bullet subsonic rounds do exist. All cans are fun. Some are more practical than others if you want really quiet! Like the standard arfcom answer, get several!!

I have an Advanced Armament M4-2000 for my CAR-15 that I like a lot. It uses a proprietary flash hider as the quick mount; the flash hider screws onto the standard 1/2 x 28 AR threaded barrel.

I own two suppressors. Both are made by a local manufacturer here in Southeast, GA. One is in 9mm and the other is .223. I have been impressed with BOTH units. Although the .223 has a significant crack down-range from the supersonic bullets, it dramatically reduces the muzzle report.
As far as the 9mm goes.....Its qieter than the famed MP-5 SD, compared at the range! it is integrally suppressed, the best way to go IMHO. Use "subsonic" rounds either commercially produced or most 147gr rounds will suffice. |
