Not to sound like a dick but there are 27 pages in the suppressor forum with about 25 threads per page. Did you even try to search or browse before you posted?

How about this:
I have also been shopping for a first suppressor. I was very intrigued by the YHM Stainless 5.56 Phantom M2 QD based on the low sale price and good reviews. Silencer Shop Link Would this be a good solid buy for a first suppressor? I would use it on a stock carbine-length semi-auto Windham Weaponry R16M4A4T or a S&W M&P 15 Sport. I'm not ruling out an SBR build in the future, but funds are limited at the moment. |
| I am new to the suppressor world also. I just bought my first suppressor. It's a Harvester 30 model. It's rated for anything up to 300 Winchester Magnum (WM). I bought it because it was only $600 and it weighs only 11 ounces (less than a pound!). It felt so light in my hand, and it probably won't change the point of impact when I put it on my AR15 because it's so light. It's not good for sustained rapid fire or full auto because it's so light, but I think it's great. I haven't been able to shoot it or take possession of it yet because I'm waiting for the tax stamp to come back in the mail. |

It wouldn't be the popular/fashionable choice here, but they make a really nice product. The price is right, the QD system is excellent, it's rated down to 10.5" barrels, and the customer service is all you could ask for. I don't have the 5.56 version, but I do have an LT and a ULT. |

Any concerns about the rifles? Is it pretty much plug-and-play or do I have to worry about specific ammo, buffer weight, things like that? |
| I have been looking through this forum as well as others. I figured I would just come out and ask which people prefer. I would like the suppressor to be well balanced (weight,length,Db) I figured I would run a flash hider.Since I am not sure which suppressors I'm not sure which mounting system is best. Price point does not matter, I would rather spend more to get the best for this set up. Is the new surefire a go, kac,,or what other options would be best. This will probably be a 5.56 dedicated. |

YHM Stainless Phantom 762 was my first can. I just started paperwork on a YHM Phantom ULT 3 years later. If I had spent just $300 more and gotten titanium I would not have to buy another can. Weight is a big deal on an SBR for me. Spend a little more and get the lightest can you can afford so you don't have to buy another one later. The original Phantom was 28 ounces though. I think the current SS is a little lighter.
It's true that the Phantom is not the sexy choice or the current fad, but I have been very happy with the QD for both 308, 300BLK, and 556. My only complaint was weight. |
