Frankly, we had not thought much about AAC since around the Freedom Group days, so we were a bit surprised to see this press release pop up for their new Ranger series of suppressors for the AR-15 and AR-10 with an MSRP of $899.99. (Apparently, JJE Capital purchased several Remington brands in 2020, including AAC. Palmetto State Armory is a member of the JJE Capital family of brands.)
More good insight on that here…
The gist of these cans is that they are a new line engineered for the “toughest usage and conditions.” “With a serviceable front-end cap, full-auto compatibility, and an included 1.375-24 mount, the versatile Ranger Series is focused on reliable performance.”
With so many good suppressors on the market already, we’re curious how these new cans stack up. Time will tell…
Via Advanced Armament Company press release:
Huntsville, AL – Advanced Armament Company, known as “The Silent Authority” and the pioneering leader in firearm sound suppression since 1994, expands its premium suppressor lineup with the introduction of the all-new Ranger Series.
Developed specifically for AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles, the Ranger 5 and Ranger 7 suppressors feature a compact design and reduced weight, delivering reliable, on-the-move performance for tactical or sporting applications.
Constructed of Inconel 718 high-strength nickel alloy and 17-4 H900 stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance, the Ranger series is built to withstand the harshest environmental conditions and high-volume operation. For additional protection, both Ranger suppressors are treated with a high-temperature Cerakote finish.
For AR-15s chambered for 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington, the Ranger 5 is the perfect choice. With an overall length of 5.825 inches (when attached to the included 1/2-28 direct-thread mount) and a modest 15.2 oz. weight, the compact Ranger 5 offers 32dB sound reduction with M193 5.56 NATO ammunition.
Fans of the AR-10 platform will appreciate the minimal size and weight of the Ranger 7 suppressor for rifles chambered in .300 Win. Mag and .308 Win. Weighing 17.2 ounces and measuring 6.75 inches long with the included 5/8-24 direct-thread mount, the Ranger 7 presents an agile sound suppression platform with 24dB (.300 WM) and 30dB (M80 .308 Win.) reduction performance.
In addition to the shared material construction and finish, the Ranger 5 and Ranger 7 suppressors incorporate a built-in muzzle brake. Both models also include standard 1.375-24 mount capability, making the system compatible with conventional HUB adapters. For ease of maintenance, the end cap and base can be removed for cleaning. Finally, both models are full-auto rated.
