Rugged Suppressors Razor 556 - In Depth Review 

Good for you! Thanks for what you do and for letting us know

@@czKyoutube I didn’t. It’s supposed to auto upload there when I upload here.

You think the little blow back would help it run better on a non adjustable gas block ar? I got a midlength 16 inch with non adjustable gas block I'm trying to buy my first suppressor for

@@JTheraos What did you end up getting?

@@JTheraos I had some minor issues with pressure on one of my ARs (factory ruger ar556 10.5”) with my razor, cleared it up completely by running a bootleg adjustable bcg, which also totally eliminated gas to the face.

I am seven months in on mine!

what other companies go with ASR ready mounts other than SC? as a left handed shooter, the blowback is annoying as hell even w/o a suppressor so i would like to find a good, reliable suppressor that is more leaning towards better limited blowback

@@Irish_K12 Dead Air Nomad and Primal are ASR threaded, Griffin Armament has ASR threaded cans, Ecco machine, diligent defense, Otter Creek, Resilient Suppressors, Rex Silentium, Yankee Hill machine, all have ASR threaded cans. The thread pattern is also called HUB, 1.375x24, Bravo pattern, probably something else I'm forgetting. As far as least blowback you'll need to do some research on that one.

Wait, it's not 1.375x24? That's a terrible shame.

@@amorton94 unfortunately they decided to do a proprietary mount.

HUB/Omega is always going to be inherently weaker structurally A monolithic machined piece will beat out two piece threaded if absolute durability is a concern (i.e full auto use, etc) which is why the KAC NT4 of all things won the USMC contract over sico or dead air, and why SF's RC2 won the SOCOM suppressor contest AGAIN in 2017 against sico, dead air, etc

I have them all. No regrets

Come try it in person at Suppressed Fest 2022!

All 556 cans are loud. It's inherent in the platform and cartridge pressure. What differs is the tone and gas back pressure to the shooter. 556 cans never impress, they just lessen the report enough to deal with shooting without ears in an emergency. AKA home defense. :)

Rugged is the BEST. Own a Razor 762 and waiting on my Surge 762

@@docholliday3273 no doubt. I own almost their entire lineup. Only missing the Surge and Micro30

How are you liking it?

Awesome first suppressor! And it’s going on a great host! Thanks for watching man!

How are you liking it?

@@rbell2915 Still don't have it. My eform is still pending. Been about 130 days now. Looks like they're taking around 200 or so to clear unfortunately.

@@AdoreYouInAshXI thanks. I bought my RC2 end of December, submitted March 1st, and it was approved Sept 26th. Your FFL doesn't allow you to shoot it while you wait? I'm trying to convince my dad to get a suppressor and I think this may be a good option.

@@rbell2915 Congrats on your RC2. I kind of wish I'd have went with something other than the Razor based on some of the reviews. But I'm still looking forward to it. My FFL does allow me to shoot while I wait, but I don't have a lot of free time. And my FFL is about an hour and a half away. Plus I kind of want my first time shooting it to be outdoors so I'll probably just wait until it's approved so I can really put it through it's paces. I still have to install a Rugged muzzle device on my rifle as well, which I haven't gotten around to doing. I'll report back in with my opinion when it's approved though. How do you like the RC2?

Doing God's work here.

I'm new to suppressors. Why is this information relevant?

@@AdoreYouInAshXI .30cal cans are fantastic "jack of all, master of none" cans. A .30cal can will shoot about anything you own, but when used for 5.56 they tend to be loud and flashy. For some this is no big deal because either you like the flexibility it offers or you just don't care. On the other hand a dedicated 5.56 can is, well, dedicated. Dedicated 5.56 cans bring to the table suppression levels a 30cal can can't. What Rugged basically did was take a 30cal can, label it dedicated 5.56, and then kept this info hidden from consumers. There is nothing wrong with choosing a 30cal can for 5.56, but companies are upfront about what you are getting. Rugged was not upfront and kept quiet until it was in user hands and no longer could hide this info.

@@travisolexa3074 Thanks for the information. I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand I'm a bit disappointed because I already purchased this, and signed my form 4 to be sent off for this suppressor. I agree that it's shady as hell. But on the other hand, this is my first suppressor and I'm just so excited that it's hard to be bummed out. It was relatively inexpensive so I suppose if I don't really like it I can always get something else down the road. Thanks again for the info. Oh, and since the baffles are the same... could this technically be used on a 30 cal with no issues (with the proper endcap, or would the 7.62 end cap even fit this suppressor), even though they advertise it as a dedicated 5.56 can?

@@AdoreYouInAshXI the end caps are interchangeable.

What do mean eform won't work?

@@amorton94 just the account lost my login and pin. Turns out it happened to a lot of people and was quite the ass pain getting it sorted out. AFT was no help and creating a new account isn’t an option. If you have these issues just keep working at it. It’ll get right eventually

@@brandonparrett2436 I'm pretty sure I just went through this a couple months ago. That was a couple months ago though so I don't exactly remember. 😂

Someone needs to say it. This can missed the mark by a mile.

Yes it did, I bought this can and I’d say it’s almost useless, my tiny fatcat is soooo much more quieter. I really wish I never bought this, total letdown

30cal short suppressors can shoot 556 doesn't mean they should.

@@richardbonner1674 The Micro30 is longer than both the RC2 and Saker in its normal configuration...

@@travisolexa3074 which Saker and which RC2? 30 cal sakers and RC2's are way longer than the micro30.

@@richardbonner1674 Don't be deliberately obtuse, I'm referring to the 5.56 cans. Either way it doesn't matter, Rugged has their 'short' 30cal cans listed as having better suppression than their dedicated 5.56.

Rugged advertises 132db at ear

You’re not going to be firing anywhere near quick enough to mess the can up on semi auto. These are full auto rated, and they’ve been extensively tested in full auto. You can be 100% confident you won’t hurt the thing as a civilian. If you have a fully auto lower, you could just mag dump over and over and see how long it will go, but it has a lifetime warranty even if you did mess it up.

They just did one with the GA Explorr 30 cal, and there was no vertical or horizontal shift. The group also tightened up.

@@calangel interesting. I’ve definitely seen groups shrink on all my cans. Only have vertical POI shifts on my heavy ass cans.

​@@calangel Who's they? I find that extremely hard to believe and would like to see for myself.

@@Tunechi_Lee this same silencer review channel, NFA Review. Just look at their videos. There Explorr series would be perfect as a military suppressor.

@@ArmedShepherd it's probably because the explorr is only 9 to 11 oz, so the weight is almost negligible I picked one up myself, I really like the 17-4 durability without dealing with the bs of titanium

Yeah I agree. I bought a few extra various mounts while waiting for my Razor762. When it arrived, I thought I blew it up on the first shot of 308 - DANG it was louder than I expected. I ended up having to start over with a different can - going to a RexSilentium with a KEYMO mount & after ANOTHER 10 month wait - am happy with it.

This is what I’d like to know.

The Rugged mount system is proprietary and not cross brand compatible.

@@jasonweaver942 I pretty much either have Dead Air or OSS muzzle devices on all my guns so figured I'd ask... Much appreciated brother!!

@@DanielBoone337 same here. Sucks because I’ve heard a lot of great things about rugged suppressors.

Pretty sure ECCO machine could make it work. But to not buy an awesome can because of a $90 mount is kind of odd. Just dedicate the can to one or more AR types.... heck you can get a quality AR for less than the price of the can plus the $200.

Silver lining: as inflation continues to go up, NFA stamps are set at 200, which will be proportionately cheaper! And it'll be hard to tell... There's also some panic-buying due to Russia/Ukraine stuff, Cheaper ARs then last year, lots of new shooters, efile form 4s,etc 🤷🏻‍♂️

Had the Obsidian 45 and used it on my 13.5LH 9mms but went ahead and got the Obsidian 9. Simply putting a 9 endcap on a 45 can just doesn't do it! I can shoot the 9 and the 45 on exact same 9mm guns at the same time and you can really hear the difference.

ATTN: RU-vid IS SHUTTING DOWN ALL GUN CHANNELS! I have moved over to Rumble. Others are leaving RU-vid in droves as well. All my NEW content is being posted on Rumble and all my old content is being sync'd by Rumble and stored on their servers for preservation. My channel is easy to find, just search for "NFA Review" in the search bar and you can find me and subscribe! RU-vid has given me 2 strikes so far on videos that weren't out during their new policy change. In addition they are deleting 5-6 videos of mine a week! They are doing the same to other Gun Channels and even the manufacturers that have channels. It's time we take our viewership over to Rumble! No more scrolling and watching non gun related content while we are logged in, no more fresh content, no more support. They don't want us here and Rumble has extended open arms to us and other free thinkers who aren't afraid to call BS on how far society has fallen! I've run this channel professionally for 12+ years, logged 60+ Million views, 10+ years of public shooting events, and hopefully provided insight and detailed information to our community helping everyone make informed decisions on hard to purchase items. I TRULY and whole-heartedly appreciate all of you. It's surreal that all my blood, sweat, and tears are about to be "digitally book burned" by RU-vid but Rumble has cast a lifeline to free speech and the rights of everyone to learn about firearms and suppressor ownership! To my awesome Patreon Members and my subscribers here, thank you! We are beginning a new chapter, ushering in a new fight and WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. See ya on Rumble! - Adam

That’s a Rugged Suppressors single chamber brake….

was looking for comment on this, can you share what gas block that is?

I asked Rugged this and they told me 3.

@@TinkleBotv well that explains the fireballs.

@@nonyabusinessinc judging by the video, it isn't as good.

@@nonyabusinessinc they make an endcap for it. So at least there's a solution. I really think companies should just do these endcaps as stock.

RifleSpeed Gas Systems. I’ve done a full review on it (check my channel) and they are coming to Suppressed Fest 2022! Great product!

No Barrel Length Restrictions.

We are anti gas mustaches! lol

@@Ruggedsuppressors Aren’t we all :). Just fired off our dealer info on your site…please don’t judge us for being tiny and home based. We’re trying to grow into a shop soon :). Hope to hear back soon!

Got a YHM and very pleased with the performance for the $$$….. but on an overly gassed AR, they’re definitely gassy!

@@Ruggedsuppressors I’m really looking forward to checking this thing out. I’ve got the oculus and the obsidian 9 and love them.

I have the obsidian 9. It's laughably quiet.

They are.

@@Ruggedsuppressors Now just to get my wife to sign off on the purchase... :-)

@@matthewarney Hmm... 🤔

@@matthewarney I got the signoff from my wife at divorce court! No more problems adding to my already ridiculous 37 can collection... So sue me!

Think a deadair keymo would go on this

4 more months now ❤

​@@dylanvs9264did you finally get it? Haha what's your thoughts on it?

Use pipe tape, it will fix the walking off

IDK on this 556 can, but the razor762 has 4 (its louder than heck too) & it weighs only a couple oz more. Im guessing 3 or 4 on this one, but REMEMBER - its designed for belt-feds.

Would you recommend the razor 556? Trying to decide between this or spend the $500 more for a RC2.. thanks!

Just curious. What do you drive? What vehicle?

@@nfareview what does that have to do with it

@@TheMindwalker123 no clue what that was about. Probably a crossfire with a comment on another video 😂🤷‍♂️

Watch my upcoming Hellion review...

Then buy the radiant and pound sand😂

Yeah, kinda wondering that too. Maybe a dedicated suppressor?

@@SimplemanKen if you look on their site. It’s a dedicated 556 can.

So far most of the Rugged 30cal line up has better at ear suppression, so I'm not sure what exactly the point of a dedicated 5.56 can is with worse suppression. They really need to show the at muzzle numbers so we can see how well it actually performs.

This has a full stellite baffle stack, and uses stainless to retain a belt-fed rating. Also this is a good middle ground between the short version and long version of the radiant. In summary, this is a good dedicated 5.56 can that you can beat the hell out, and don’t plan on needing a short length option to swap back and forth anyways (which also adds to the durability).

And does it need to be timed to where the go/no go is on top?

It's about the same.

No. Rugged uses a dual taper mounting system. It's far superior to the ASR mounting system.

Go with caliber specific if your end goal is 5.56 only. You’ll squeeze out the most performance.

Get the RC2.

NFA review just did one for the GA Explorr and it didn't shift POI at all. Thunderbeast Arms also makes cans that are precision built and won't really shift POI. Same thing can be said about CGS and their Hyperion. POI shift has to do with suppressor weight, blast chamber design, and baffle geometry.

Smoke from oil burn-off and gas from the projectile are not the same thing.

Seeing the numbers on a lot of suppressed .308s being at or slightly above 140dB on a 16" barrel its a wonder a lot of people even suppress them.

Why don’t you like the Razor 7.62? I’ve kinda had my eye on that one…

@@hunterford9018 Razor is 4 baffles. If you really NEED a beltfed rated can (for use on a beltfed), the Surge with 6 baffles (in short configuration) might be a quieter choice & is approx the same size as a razor. Other mfg cans with 7-8 baffles will probably be quieter.

If only there was a video description explaining what happened on RU-vid...

@@Jroberts273 from when RU-vid went on a tangent with stupid ass rules for about a month and then rescinded.

@@nfareview ha that’s so funny!!! I love your videos man.. my son and I watch them before he goes to bed all the time!! Picking up my first suppressor this next week and I’m pumped!!! (Bought the rugged 762 razor) keep up the awesome content guys!!

@@Jroberts273 thanks for telling me that. That’s amazing. You both should come to Suppressed Fest :)
