I am looking at a suppressor.  I want to suppress a .243 but would also like to use the can on my AR or .22.  Am I out of luck here? or can I go one size and effectively suppress all of them?

well, 6mm would do both - don't know of any that are specifically 6mm though....


.30 would have no issues as well but would be pretty big on an AR - not a deal if you expect it

You need a titanium .308 suppressor, contact silencer shop, they are in Austin TX and a site sponsor here on arfcom.

Look at the bottom of your screen and find their logo and click on it.

I've bought both my cans from them and can't say enough great things about them.

They make buying a can stupid easy.



Only shoot .22LR through a dedicated .22LR can.

get a 30 cal can and you will be able to use it on all smaller calibers.

however unless the can is servicable, i wouldnt shoot it on 22lr rifle

My father bought an N6 for his big block AR IN .243. I don't think he has shot it yet though.

This.

And be prepared. It's almost impossible to only buy one.  Thought I was going to be happy with a rimfire can.

Now I have a .22lr can, .223 can, and started wait on a .30 can and a F1 SBR.

Buy a Liberty Mystic. It's a 9mm can that will allow you to run subsonic 308 through .22. You can use the DIP to clean it as I understand it. You can run it on a 223 with a 16" barrel. It will also run Super and Subs of the 300 blackout.

thanks for the advice folks. I will check out silencer shop. I really would rather suppress my .22 first, so I may make that my first can.  Its a .22 bolt gun so I really want to hear that click

The AAC 762 SDN6 is a great can. I run it on my AR and it sounds just as quiet as a dedicated 223 can, and you can use it on your 243 as well.

I'm using a Shark TigerShark in 6mm on my 6BRX.  Once I get my .243 done I'll use it there as well.  Too big and heavy to use on .223 IMO though.

A 6.8 suppressor should work

If you think you may go with a 308 or 300BLK ever as a maybe/possibility go with one of the 30 cans.

If you know you will never go with a .30 can look at the 6.8 cans I think they are the same outside physical size as 5.56 cans just a bigger bore hole through the center.

if shooting .22LR use a dedicated .22LR can for that.

That's a terrible idea. I think you are forgetting that a .243 is a necked-down .308. Way too much powder for a Mystic.

I favor the titanium 30 cal option.

Get a QD 30 cal, a 45 Osprey, and a .22LR only can. Never ear pro again.
