question: 556 suppressor for shorter than 10inch barrel

[Voodoo_Man]

Check out new Specwar K series (not released yet), or 762 Specwar. http://www.silencershop.com/shop/sil...o-specwar-556/ They are rated down to 7" barrel. I almost waited for them to come out, but got anxious and got 556 Specwar on way. Depending on 41p, K series might be coming too.

ETA From link--“Our goal with the K version of the Specwar was to create the shortest and lightest hearing-safe 5.56mm silencer available,” noted Josh Waldron, CEO of SilencerCo. “This K version of the Specwar will still carry our lifetime warranty and can be used for full auto fire on barrel lengths down to 7 inches.”

That one sounds like it fits the bill.

Thanks for the link, I will have to do some more research and contact them to see what exactly their warranty policy is.

A 30 caliber can may be your best option for a 7.5". The AAC SDN-6 is a well respected can that's been around a couple years.

But with the increased length a 30 caliber can has, you may very well end up longer than a comparable 10.3" 5.56 + 5.56 can setup.

Depends on the configuration.

Yes, you better check with SilencerCo. There may be a discrepancy with the statement about the Specwar K on SilencerShop's site. I think that the Saker K is good to go down to 7", but not the Specwar. Big Waylon may have gotten clarification, but I can't remember if the issue was resolved or not.

A shop local to me says the Delta P Brevis 5.56 Compact suppressor is good down to a 7" barrel. I looked up the manual on the company's website and it does indeed list minimum barrel length as 7". I have no experience with them, but it's another option. Maybe someone with experience with them can add more.

The Saker-K (5.8" OAL) is warrantied down to a 7.5" barrel, and makes for a nice, compact package. That said, nothing on a 7.5" 5.56 is going to be quiet, and the ballistics are going to suck. My personal favorite setup is a 10.5" Mk18 with Saker-K or Specwar-K.

My bad VooDoo, didn't mean to give you bad info. In my defense quote was from CEO, so I thought was GTG. Sorry.

Yeah, I think that was a typo. That said, we do have a full lifetime warranty on everything, and we'll warranty stupidity at least once.

I saw the Specwar K at NASGW along with the Saker K and they were very nice. I was amazed at the OAL and length and look forward to doing some testing. I recommend you stay away from 7.5" for a variety of reasons. Unless you just want short and cool looking.

I can't wait for this to be mine as well.

That's what I've seen done before with stupid short 5.56 guns (like the Galil MAR and the Hk53... Both ~8.3" barrels (210mm v 211mm)). While OAL is certainly increased when suppressed, it's still shorter when not wearing the can.
