Itching for an integrally suppressed 10.5, suggestions?

**Grendelshooter** · 06-12-23, 17:16

I really want an integrally suppressed 10.5 inch upper.
Seems like the perfect walking around in my woods gun.
I don’t have any intent to use a suppressor on anything else I have (would make them wayyyyy too long to be useful) so I really only need the one upper, and I’m swimming in 5.56 and not looking fkr another caliber-no interest in .300blk.

So what’s good? I genuinely don’t know much about them, but I love the idea of a 1 stamp gun.
I’ve seen reviews of the Yhm phantom and the radical integral uppers, and they seem competitive.
Are there other, better options out there?
Ideally between 1 and 2 grand.

Resist the itch. There are many reasons why being able to separate barrel from suppressor is worthwhile.

I don’t really want/need a suppressor otherwise, and most of my rifles are 18 to 20 inches, so no desire to attach one to any of them.
I’m only really interested in a suppressor in this combination.

Thank you for the blessing. I'm not Orthodox, but I celebrate the Resurrection nonetheless.

Yeah, I get not wanting to pay the tax stamp for an SBR as well as the can.

EDIT: I will say that suppressed shooting is additive. One is never enough.

This would be best if you have a can that comes apart so you can clean the barrel without filling the suppressor up with chemicals or patches.

I'll argue the opposite of georgeib. My 556 cans never get shot. I hate shooting suppressed ARs. Bolt guns? Hell yes, but gas guns suck. And the shorter the more challenging.

You might want to look at a factory built option like the one from Gemtech.

Looks like the YHM and Radical uppers, but I like that it’s user serviceable. Thanks

I’ve considered this. Worst case scenario is that I’m just going to buy more suppressors!
Woohoo lol
