I'm looking to get my first suppressor and intend to put it on my SPR. I am currently running an AAC blackout flash suppressor on it, but am open to others.
I called a few vendors about my options, and they did not recommend the AAC suppressors due to play with the suppressor attached effecting accuracy. Indeed a few searches turned up occurrences of people losing accuracy when using an AAC suppressor. I know POI will shift with any suppressor, but I was at least hoping to maintain accuracy. Are there any suppressors that would be recommended for SPR use that will have minimal affect on accuracy? I don't mind POI shift as long as it's consistent because I can account for that. I would prefer it to attach to the muzzle device and that the muzzle device be decent as I will be shooting suppressed only 25% of the time. Silencer Shop mentioned Surefire SOCOM suppressors and thunderbeast, but I was looking to see if there were more options. I'm not particularly a fan of the muzzle brakes they would thread on to. |

Allen Engineering AEM5. Best 5.56 SPR suppressor you'll find. Agreed ^this. Pretty much made for SPR use, locks up rock solid, effective brake mount, nice low tone. I have a Saker556, SDN-6, and an AEM5 and I gotta say, I get the most joy w/ the AEM5 by a decent margin for some intangible reason I can't quite articulate. |

I know I would enjoy it. But one of the ranges I go to does not allow NFA items. Had a few incidents with cops going to the range and shutting it down due to questionable firearms. |

Yeah, good luck with that, in the meantime ADCO sells the AEFH. The AEM5 is the best option, next would be an Ops Inc 12th model then the Griffin SPR and after all those options I would try to find either an old Surefire M4FA/FA556AR or an AAC SPR/M4. If the rifle is built to be a SPR type rifle it needs a reflex type suppressor. |

The ops Inc 12th model and AEM5 are identical and the best solution for the spr roll. If you don't like the brake you could always use the Smith vortex adapter: Smith vortex adapter
For the best in repeatable accuracy, tone/reduction, not coming loose the 12th/AEM5. For more info look into lone survivors proof that it's a durable and reliable unit. |
| I am currently running my specwar 556 on my mk 12 build until i can get the extra funds to get an AEM5. Ive been really pleased with the specwars performance though. Very quiet, locks up tight, and minimal point of impact shift. Also ive notice minimal gas blow back. |

I run a raptor charging handle so that may help too.

I would be picking a different place to shoot at in that case. And if they're not legit ATF agents, they can pound sand if they're asking for NFA stamp proof. |

Some states have local laws that prohibit NFA items unless you can prove they are registered, so yeah, your tough guy attitude would land a guy in jail on felony weapons charges! |

You're the one with the tough guy attitude, "bro." 
State law and range policy aren't in the same ballpark. Some range jockey is going to land you in jail on felony weapons charges because you're doing something perfectly legal? Where do you come up with this stuff? I would tell that range to pound sand. Luckily, the ranges I've gone to hire semi-competent people who don't take a second glance at SBRs and silencers. In Texas, NFA stuff is all illegal unless it's registered with the ATF. That's probably the same with every state in this entire country. That does not mean it's illegal to own any of it, and does not mean you'll go to jail with felony charges for having it. The hysteria, paranoia, and perpetual myths surrounding NFA stuff on this forum and elsewhere leads to worthless fear-mongering. |
