Silencer for .223
I do not know much about silencers so I am hoping the resident experts can help me on my way.
What would be a practical size silencer for a .223Rem bolt-action? Is there a standard barrel-thread for fitting? Which is better; long and thin or short and fat? What else do I need to know?
Basically I am looking for something as short as possible but still effective enough to use without ear protection in the open.

Re: Silencer for .223
I asked Henk from Silent Hunter to make me the shortest one he was comfortable with. ended up with a 130mm total length, of which approx 18mm threads onto the barrel. My goal was driven by the least length addition, as priority over sound reduction. I have not had time to fit it yet, though.
The Warrior Shorty was high on my list. They are however set up for production so couldn't do a custom job for me. I'll expect the Shorty to be quieter than the one I have.

A-tec, have one on my AR.
Quieter than others I have heard on the range, well built and works.

Which A-Tec?
I need a decent suppressor for my AR15 and have been looking at the Warriors.

Re: Silencer for .223
Is there a standard thread for .223 or does it depend on the muzzle diameter? Or does each brand of silencer have their own thread?

Well few words to be said.
Ase Utra SL5
There you go. Short Compact effective. Stainless. Will last forever and made for military use.
Alu silencer got a life span. Ase does not.
