SSS.6.187 - Sylvan Arms SA223TIS and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle

The Sylvan Arms SA223TIS is a mid-size 5.56 rifle silencer that possesses a robust mounting system and a lighter weight than some competing designs. Its conventional baffle technology provides suppression performance that competes with models using similar technologies, as expected, and exceeds the performance of some designs. For use on short barrel rifles, the titanium-tube clad SA223TIS possesses a stainless steel blast chamber and baffles, adding some resiliency. The included taper mount with ratcheting retention securely seals; a direct-thread version of the silencer is also available.

In this review, the Sylvan Arms SA223TIS 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 Sylvan Arms SA223TIS perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel?
