Reflex Suppressors for M16 /
AR-15
Photo: M16 equipped with a 4-baffle T4AR Ranger Reflex Suppressor fired
full auto. Two empty cases are seen flying to the right. The Reflex Suppressed weapon is
only insignificantly longer than unsuppressed, still retaining its original handy
measures. Relatively easy to control AR15 / M16 becomes even easier to fire with a
suppressor due to it's muzzle brake and compensator effect. A .223 Rem bullet has a
relatively low bullet flight noise level (supersonic crack) and a moderate powder charge
thus both factors making .223 rifles easy to suppress to comfortable and safe sound
levels. For still quieter report also a longer 8-baffle T8AR Scout Reflex
Suppressor is available for the M16.

AR-15/ M16 Reflex Suppressor Manual
Telescopic Reflex Suppressor is
a sound suppressor, designed especially for use with full-power service 5.56 x 45 mm/ .223
caliber cartridges. Suppressor T4AR Ranger extends total length of Colt
AR-15 A2 Sporter or M16 abt. 30 mm ( 1.2") when compared with normal flash hider. The
T8AR Scout for extra quiet operation extends the rifle by abt. 59 mm
(2.3"). Mounting on flash hider thread is possible to normal and heavy-barreled AR
Sporter/ M16 variations, with exception of short-barreled carbine and 9 mm models, for
which the R12CAR forward mounting Reflex
Suppressor is suitable. Reflex Suppressors standard overlay is military grade Parkerizing.
Please, note: No suppressor is able to eliminate ballistic
"crack" of supersonic bullet, but noise of report towards the shooter is
usually not louder than snap of .22 rimfire rifle, shooting Hi-Velocity .22 LR cartridges.
Using custom-loaded 5.56 x 45 mm subsonic rounds (muzzle velocity ca. 300 m/s or 1000 fps)
the noise of the shot is not very much more audible than is the hammer click of a
dry-fired rifle.
Mounting: Heat flash hider with
propane torch or on an electric cooking plate until thread locking glue is softened.
Unscrew flash hider while hot and let the muzzle cool down. Clean remnants of glue away
from the 1/2" x 28G muzzle thread and screw mounting sleeve (inside suppressor
jacket) on the muzzle thread. Do not use tools or excessive twist force. Overtightening is
unnecessary and a way to excessive shift of shot group.
Shooting with suppressor: Reflex Suppressor is a highly efficient Muzzle
Brake, due to abrupt reflection or blowback of muzzle blast inside suppressor jacket.
Suppressor shall not increase group diameter of shots in target or object. Additional
weight on barrel shifts the place of group center, but that displacement is easily
corrected by sight adjustment. Extent of displacement is usually less than one MIL or four
Minutes Of Angle (<10 centimeters at 100 meters). More extensive off-aiming or sight
adjustment may be needed, when using subsonic rounds. Trajectory of subsonic bullet is
very curved. Low power subsonic loads are usually unable to produce automatic ejection and
feed.
Maintenance: Reflex Suppressor is a practically maintenance-free device.
Normal fouling of powder and primers cannot take effect on its functioning. Loose solid
impurities, like powder kernels and carbon chips, are easy to remove by shaking the
suppressor, while keeping it vertically, front end downwards. Compressed air may be used
for cleaning, but liquid or solvent washing is unnecessary and unadvisable. Regular gun
oil can be used for storing. Remove suppressor, or leave the action of the rifle open
after shooting session. This helps water condensed from powder gases to evaporate away.
