What's the minimum barrel length I can get by with to shoot my 5.56 AR with my SRT Hurricane supressor without hearing protection? I'm prepared to get the necessary tax stamp.
I've got a 16.5" barrel on it now and it is way too long (end heavy.) This is a 50 yard gun. Occassionally I'll shoot 100 to 200 yard shots but most shooting is done up close. I want a quick, short gun without having to wear hearing protection. Thanks in advance. |

My 12.5 is pretty quiet. But if I am shooting more than a couple shots I throw on ear pro. I think I'd be happy with the length of the 12.5 but I'd also rather be able to shoot a couple hundred rounds without hearing protection. I'm not sure 14.5 would be worth the effort of going SBR. |

IMO any shooting done in a situation that gives you the chance to Use hearing protection i use it I agree with this. And if you're still dead-set on a 50 yard gun that you're going to shoot with no ear-pro, I would go 9mm. It suppresses much better and cycles better in the shorter barrels. You can go 5-7" or less in 9mm with no issues. |

A 7.62 can on the end of a short 300 Blackout barrel is a distant goal though. |

Unfortunately there is no barrel length on a 5.56 AR that will be hearing safe suppressed. Even on a 24" you'll be above safe thresholds, so just get the barrel length you want. |
