I'm looking around for a FAQ section but can't find one. I need to learn about supressors before attempting to buy one. My state is fond of banning things so I'd like to get one while I still can. I can't have one on my AR since it's not preban. I'm looking for ideas and info about other supressed rifles, maybe a bolt .223. So are supressors caliber specific? So I would need a .223 cal supressor? Any links and sites you can point me at would be great. Thanks.

For the best performance, the suppressor should be specific to the caliber of the gun it is on.  You can use a .308 suppressor on a .223, but the the .308 suppressor will typically be longer and heavier, but will give very good suppression.  A .223 bolt action would be an excellent gun to suppress as it will seem quieter to the shooter than a AR due to the absence of action noise.  

Here are a couple of mfgs sites that I could recommend for .223 suppressors:

SRT Hurricane

AAC

SWR

Another excellent option might be a suppressed .308 bolt action rifle.  Here is a photo of my Savage 110 with a AAC Cyclone suppressor.


Or perhaps an integrally suppressed 44Mag bolt action:


I don't know your state's laws, but the most fun suppressed rifle I have is a suppressed 10/22 or my bolt action CZ452 (photo is 452 and lever action Ruger) -- the ammo is cheap, it is Hollywood quiet, and accurate.
