Integrally suppressed uppers

[232593]

Anyone run one of the integrally suppressed 5.56 uppers? If so how easy are they to maintain?

Are you able to get 21-2300 FPS from factory offerings?

Any of them better or worse than the others?

We’ve got several rifles from Suppressed Weapon Systems at work. As with anything with a can on it, the action gets pretty grungy. Other than that, maintenance is not difficult. The external tube comes off easily when I do annual inspections.

I can’t find my actual chrono results, I must not have saved them. But I remember with 62-64 grain duty loads (FBI T3, Ranger 64gr and Barnes 62TSX) getting 2400-2600fps.

How is the barrel cleaned on it with that non removable can?

I run a Thunder Beast Arms DSU, like was stated the action gets pretty nasty but the baffles on mine are removable so barrel cleaning is like any other AR

The barrel and baffle stack are all one piece, with the actual NFA ‘suppressor’ being a 16.5” hollow tube that shrouds the barrel and baffle stack.

The tube comes off fairly easily; remove hand guard, remove their gas tube, then simply pull the tube off. I do this once a year, which is about every couple thousand rounds.

For the actual barrel, I use a bore snake mostly, with rod & patches only when I have the shroud off.
