SSS.6.194 - Dillon Rifle Company DRC556 and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)
/The Dillon DRC556 is a somewhat compact dedicated 5.56mm rifle silencer with extreme muzzle suppression performance for its size. Constructed entirely of 3D-printed Inconel alloy, the silencer also offers the requisite durability for heavy firing schedules. The DRC556 is HUB-mountable and produces gross free field muzzle blast suppression on supersonic rifle platforms on par with that of much larger silencers; with its included direct thread mount, the silencer is only 5.75-in long. This performance, for form factor, is extremely significant. The back pressure induced by the DRC556 is not significantly high, though it is somewhat higher than some competing models in this performance class.
In this review, the Dillon DRC556 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a commonly fielded gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the Dillon DRC556 perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel?
