Suppressor for 18” Aero Precision/MK12

[bowrunner81]

I have an 18” Aero Precision AR that I built that is not at all a clone correct MK12 but I’m setting it up similar. I don’t care at all about the looks of it or being clone correct. I just want the best and quietest suppressor for my rifle. What would you recommend? I have read folks like the Otter Creek Polonium

Nothing wrong with a polo. How are you setting it up "similar" other than the barrel length?

 

[bowrunner81]

It’s really not similar, it’s just the barrel length. And I’m not putting a lpvo on it. It will likely get a 3-15

Gotcha. Was just wondering if you were doing a pri handguard or a monolithic rail on an aero enhanced, etc.

Could always do an otb like the og 65 or they make adapter to run an ocm 5/6 without the collar if you wanted to do the otb look.

The ocm 5 (aem 5) or ide imagine the newer ocm6 sound amazing

My friend has the OCM5 and it is very quiet. That should be put on the list as well. Thank you

I guess you could say this is my attempt at mk12 with 16" barrel.
The can is the B&T SQD9 Print-X RBS. Its a reduced back pressure 9mm can but it sounds great and gas to the face is almost nonexistent.
I picked it up super cheap last summer from battlehawkarmory.com and looks like they're on sale for $499 right now.

The polo and ocm5 with definitely be gassier.

Do you care about budget or are you after max suppression?

Good Question, Id say $750ish is the ideal price range. But I can stretch that some for a max suppression option, if its worth it.

Gotcha. No personal experience, but from what I understand the Sig Hexium 300 and the CAT JL are the two that are considered top of the line right now. But I think they are both in the $1000-$1100 range.

The Exigent Defense street goblin or fireteam556 are supposed to be really good options too and worth a look.
Are you going to dedicate this suppressor to the gun or move it around?

I just looked those up and they look very good. Ill add those to the list to consider. And it will likely stay on this gun.

They make a direct thread version too that would be of consideration if its staying on that gun. Its cheaper and a tad lighter.
