The TAC16 suppressor has quickly become a top seller for AR15/M16 style firearms and has often been described as the perfect marriage of performance, strength and beauty. Its 100% precision CNC machined steel construction gives it the ability to withstand the pressures and heat from long bursts of full auto fire, making it an easy choice for M16 applications as well as for AR15 semi auto use. Simply unscrew your factory flashhider and replace it with a TAC16 suppressor and you'll know why the TAC16 continues to be a favorite of AR shooters. For a .223/5.56mm suppressor, get a TAC16 - THE CHOICE IS EASY!
1. FULL AUTO RATED AND CAPABLE | |
The TAC16 suppressor is constructed to withstand full auto burst firing. It's made to easily handle a 100 round continuous burst from a full BETA C drum on a 20" Colt M16, as demonstrated in the accompanying 100 ROUND BETA C DUMP VIDEO CLIP. Of course with the heat generated by long bursts, the operator must periodically inspect the suppressor to ensure the integrity of the machined blast baffles, which are visible through the 1/2 x 28 threaded mounting hole. Blast baffles can be replaced by the manufacturer and the suppressor reassembled without any detriment to the assembly. |
2. 100% STEEL CONSTRUCTION | |
|
The ability to fire long full auto bursts requires a suppressor that is constructed of sufficient strength to withstand the substantial blast. The TAC16 suppressor is 100% manufactured from US certified steels to include the tube, endcap and all baffles and internals. The suppressor is matte black professionally hot blued for a finish that is as durable as it is attactive, and that is virtually unaffected by the extreme heat that is frequently encountered. |
3. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE | |
Do you hate earmuffs when you shoot, especially in the hot summer? Do your neighbors wish you preferred golf to target shooting? Now you can shoot .223 / 5.56mm ammo and have it sound like a .22LR (due to the sonic crack generated by the bullet exceeding the speed of sound) with our TAC16 suppressor on your AR15/M16 rifle. The reality of current suppressor designs and manufacture is that not much is new in the world of suppressor design from one suppressor model to the next resulting in a performance in decibel reduction to the ear that is comparable from one suppressor to the next. Although our meters can quantify db differences between suppressors, db measurements will vary between days, guns, ammunition etc. As a result, we build our suppressor baffle stack first based on our meter and then modify it based on human perception feedback. For instance, a slightly higher db at a different frequency might appear quieter based on the shooter's ability to hear it. Similarly, duration of peak db will have a different impression on your ear. For instance, a micro second at one db level will set a peak level on our meter (regardless of its duration), but it still sounds more quiet than 2 or 3 times the peak length of time at a slightly lower db level. Based on the wide range of differences in db data collection, data integrity and data interpretation, we do not publish meter generated db reductions (which have become somewhat of a joke in the suppressor industry). We are confident that when you shoot an TAC16 suppressor, you'll agree that its performance delivers. |
4. COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLE TO CLEAN OR SERVICE |
|
|
Our TAC16 suppressor, like our complete suppressor line, can be completely disassembled by the user to include the removal of the front endcap and all the internal baffles, and then cleaned and reassembled. Since .22LR ammunition of any configuration should never be shot through the TAC16 suppressor, it should not be necessary to disassemble the suppressor for cleaning. However, the ability to disassemble for service is a significant cost saving benefit. Disassembly and re-assembly should only be performed in strict compliance with our most currently published TAC16 Disassembly Procedure instructions. |
5. PROFESSIONALLY LASER ENGRAVED | |
|
To compliment the matte black blued finish, each suppressor is professionally laser engraved in compliance with BATFE marking requirements, indicating its serial number, model, manufacturer and caliber. Sure laser engraving costs a few dollars more than traditional rotary engraving, but anything less looks like it costs a lot less. The TAC16 suppressor delivers premium performance and appearance at a value cost. |
6. CAD DESIGNED and CNC MANUFACTURED | |
|
Every piece of an TAC16 suppressor is CAD designed and CNC manufactured in our modern CNC machine shop out of US certified steel. The backbone of any suppressor is the baffle stack and each baffle is individually machined. There are no stamped parts, hardware store washers, screens, wipes, grease or any other parts that will wear out. Our commitment to manufacturing excellence assures you consistent parts interchangeability and the finest workmanship available. We're proud of our baffle design, technology and workmanship and freely provide photographs for your review and evaluation. You wouldn't buy a car without knowing what engine was under the hood, demand the same for your suppressor. |
7. MULTIPLE PLATFORM VERSITILITY | |
One of the major advantages of a screw on "muzzle can" suppressor compared to an integrally suppressed firearm is that it can be used on multiple firearms to best suit the requirement. The TAC16 suppressor can easily be mounted on any .223 firearm that is correctly threaded 1/2x28 tpi by simply removing the factory flash hider and screwing the suppressor on in place of it. Based on our personal experiences as well as substantial customer feedback, we do not offer "quick detach" mounting systems due to the considerable increased costs as well as the necessity to frequently clean and maintain the mounting apparatus in order for it to continue to operate as intended. |
8. IF OUR NAME IS ON IT, WE MAKE IT AND SERVICE IT | |
|
Many other "manufacturers" put their name on a product that they don't build. EVERY TAC16 suppressor that we sell, we make every piece of it and are intimately familiar with its function, assembly and operation. We operate a fulltime firearm CNC manufacturing machine shop with live customer service, not answering machines. We have the parts, the staff and the experience in-house to service and troubleshoot our products, resulting in fast turnarounds and hassle free service for you, our valued customer. You should expect nothing less from any other suppressor manufacturer. |
9. MYTH: "IT HAS TO BE EXPENSIVE TO WORK WELL" | |
|
The truth is that suppressors don't have all that much material in them and volume production with our modern CNC lathes make manufacturing costs per unit very reasonable even with the increased costs of all steel construction and the associated increased machine times. We base our profit margins on volume, which means we can sell our suppressors at prices that are considerably lower than many other manufacturers' prices that produce small quantity runs or even individual "handmade pieces". Our modern CNC machines ensure the highest workmanship and consistent quality part after part. In addition to our economy of scale manufacturing volume, we do not run multiple expensive magazine ads each month and we do not print color catalogs with our suppressors surrounded by flashy artwork, both of which are expensive and the cost has to be added to the selling price of the suppressors. We bypass the expense and pass the savings on to you. Your satisfaction and referrals are our best advertising. |

Frequently Asked Questions For
TAC16 - AR15 / M16
.223 5.56mm SUPPRESSOR
|
It should not be necessary to disassemble your TAC16 suppressor under normal use conditions. However, it is designed and manufactured to be able to be disassembled in the event you might need to replace an endcap or baffle caused by a bullet strike or to allow us to rebuild the suppressor when the blast baffles are sufficiently worn to require service. We do not recommend disassembling it for cleaning after each use. Since .223 uses a jacketed bullet, you will get carbon and dirt buildup in the can, but not lead like you would get with a .22LR suppressor. Cleaning without disassembly can easily be accomplished with either an ultrasonic cleaner or simply soak it by immersion in a parts washer. DO NOT use gasoline or kerosene. You stand the risk of exploding the suppressor when you next fire it. Drain it completely, shaking out any excess parts washer cleaning fluid, fire a round or 2 to get the remaining cleaner out and then lightly mist spray with non-flamable oil if desired.
