And it’s one of the more popular suppressors on the market. The SilencerCo Omega Suppressor is one of my favorite multi-caliber suppressors. Ultimately, this suppressor is an affordable option if you want a dedicated 5.56mm suppressor that will live on one of your rifles or that you use on multiple 5.56mm rifles.


But you can replace the MAAD mount with an ASR mount, if you want. The MAAD mount is a little bulkier than the ASR mount. You basically just screw the suppressor onto the mount and the spring tension locks it in place. Some people like the MAAD mount better than the ASR mount, because the operation is simpler. Most people probably wouldn’t notice the difference between the two suppressors without sound measuring equipment.Īlso, the Saker 556 comes with the SilencerCo MAAD mount. However, there is an upside: this suppressor makes 5.56mm slightly quieter than the 36M, thanks to the 5.56mm muzzle cap. It’s the limited versatility that makes this suppressor less expensive. In many ways, the Saker 556 is just a SilencerCo 36M without the two-piece design and multi-caliber support. It’s similar to the Saker 556, but less expensive. Quick Tip: If you want to save even more money, get the discontinued Specwar 762 before it’s gone. The SilencerCo Saker 556 is one of the most affordable AR-15 suppressors out there.

So, it’s totally reasonable to buy a suppressor to preserve your hearing, even if you’re not a stealth assassin.īut you should still wear hearing protection when you train or shoot recreationally with a suppressor. A few suppressed shots with a suppressor, for something like home defense, will usually not have much long term impact on your hearing. However-even without subsonic ammunition-a suppressor can make your AR-15 quiet enough that it won’t cause hearing damage in very limited use.
