First, a mini size silencer is not ideal for your first silencer. They are a specialty item made for specific purposes and you will be disappointed with it for general shooting on a wide variety of guns.
Second, AAC 51T is two generations behind Surefire RC silencers. The RCs solve every problem with fast attach silencers, such as wobble, group size increase, exposed teeth, etc.
I would not buy a .223 silencer. I would buy a Surefire RC .308 and you can use it on any caliber .30 or smaller and it is also rated for magnum centerfire rifle cartridges. The AAC 51T are not rated for magnum cartridges.
The .308 RC can be used on your AR-15, a .308 bolt gun, and any hunting rifle like a .243, .22-250, .30-06 etc. You get the most versatility with this option.
The larger .308 bore will also help reduce baffle strikes if you run this on AR-15s with short barrels with unstable bullets.
AAC 51T was state of the art in 2006, it is now obsolete.
Having the shortest, lightest silencer is not important.
What is important is having a heavy duty silencer that will last a lifetime because you can't get rid of it, that has consistent minimal point of aim shift, and no group size increase.
I have been owning and using both systems extensively and I have been phasing out AAC 51T in my personal collection and moving over to Surefire RCs.
