| So I have an m&p15 and wanting to purchase a can for it... I am looking for something in the 600-700 dollar range. I know the greater the price the greater the quality but I believe that there are some quality products out there for a budget shopper like me plus I am never going to be in any sort of combat situation either so does anyone have suggestions? I personally don't have a clue when it comes to suppressors so any suggestion is greatly appreciated. And I also own an m&p40 any suggestions for that one as well? I like the square osprey can but anyone have a better suggestion? |

OP here is a better place to ask ETA: beat |

Read all the threads in the Suppressor forum; you may want to consider a .30 cal can for your 5.56 if you have other rifles.
The Osprey, TiRant, and Octane are probably the highest rated cans out at this time for centerfire pistol. I have a Thompson Machine QMF-2 and it does a good job, but it is a wet can. The above shoot very well dry, and are awesome wet. Do not shoot a centerfire rifle can wet; pistol and 22LR can be shot wet. |
| If you only have one rifle the Ranger 3 is a great suppressor, its a thread on so it cant be swapped between rifles easily but its very light weight, failry short and has great suppression ability plus with a $550 price tag once you add $200 tax stamp and sales tax and other fees you will be in for around $800 total. |

Pretty much this ^^^. Or go with the Specwar 762 only if you honestly see a 30 cal rifle in your future (you will pay more for it, though). The Specwars are tanks and post some of the best sound reduction numbers out there -- period. |
| So can anyone elaborate on how a larger caliber can will work for a smaller caliber rifle? And yes I only have the one rifle and pistol I sold my others because I don't have a real need... If I got another rifle I would go with a Remington 700 so again a noob to suppressors would I be able to use a can on both those rifles? Keep in mind that if I do purchase the 700 I will be putting a heavy barrel on it as well... |

Silencershop.com has great videos on using a 30 cal can on a 5.56, I have a Specwar 556 and love it. I also have YHM SS phantom and Ti Phantom and love them too. Price paid on the spec war was $650 plus stamp, the 30 cal cans were not much more. I also have a saker in lock up so it will be interesting to see how the two silencerco cans sound against each other in real life.
This is an old setup, same barrel different rail and stock on my SBR.

Yes, you can use the 762 specwar on the Remington 700. You just get the barrel threaded and install a specwar flashider/mount. Although some people think it looks kind of funky, especially without the suppressor mounted. I think it looks okay, but then I lean (mostly) towards usability over aesthetics.

| Well thanks for all the help guys much appreciated this will make my decision much easier considering the general consensus seems to be the same. I guess the next question would be is there a better can out there for my 40 that is still square like the osprey can I have my eye on? I really like the looks of the square as opposed to the cylindrical ones... Plus it can still be holstered from what I understand. |

With any can you are going to have a hard time holstering it, While it seems like a cool idea to have a drop leg with a can on it, practicality wise you won't do it. I have an osprey that I have used on 45, 9, and 300 BLK. It works great and allows most iron sights to be used, I bought the octane to run on my UMP build, I am getting tired of swapping cans out.

Again thanks fellas! Very insightful can't wait to get my hands on one... If I go the trust route will that speed up the process I hate buying things I can't walk out of the store with... The quicker you buy, the faster you get to take your can home. As of right now, going the trust route and efiling, it's totally faster than paper. The only thing is it's going to cost you the price of the trust |

I believe the term is hydro-lock. Also if you do do it, the water would evaporate very quickly after the first shot.
Pistol cans and .22 LR cans you are good to go. Safe shooting to you. Anyway courtesy of the Gemtech site: http://www.gem-tech.com/store/pc/GEMTECH-F-A-Q-d7.htm#24 Can/Should a rifle suppressor be shot "wet"? No. A centerfire rifle suppressor should never be shot "wet". Using liquid inside the suppressor reduces the available volume for gas expansion. This increases the pressure and could cause the suppressor to bulge or burst which could injure or kill the shooter or bystanders. Centerfire rifle suppressors have much higher internal pressures than rimfire or pistol caliber suppressors. If the suppressor becomes submerged, allow the unit to fully drain before shooting. If needed for clandestine lab or in explosive gas environments in law enforcement or military use, a small amount (1 tsp) of water may be put into the suppressor to squelch spark or flame. Use coolant sparingly and cautiously, reference the warnings above about overpressure. |
