#AllenEngineering

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we got our hands on the new GLOCK 19X MOS, an exclusive from Davidsons. This week we get behind one of my favorite rifle/suppressor combinations and attempt to shoot five-shot sub MOA groups. Can the quietest 556 AR-15 setup also deliver small, repeatable groups? Let’s take a look.

Allen Engineering is a well-known name in the world of clone rifles. Their AEM5 silencer is the “clone correct” option for a Mk12 build. Recently, Trajectory Arms announced that they would be taking over production of the AEM5 silencers.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Phantom 22 rimfire suppressor. Last week we got a look at the X-Ring TSS rimfire integrally suppressed barrel from Tactical Solutions. This week we get our hands on the Otter Creek Labs OCM5 rifle suppressor. How does it stack up against the O.G. Allen Engineering AEM5? Let’s take a look.

For the month of August, we asked our readers the colossal question of what are some of the BEST Suppressors on the market today! Since that is such a blanket question when there are so many niche silencers out there, we divided the voting into 4 unique categories: rifle, rimfire, pistol and specialty. Your voting came in droves and provided us with over 4,000 responses! That is awesome so THANK YOU to all of our readers for participating.

One quiet day back In 1993, Ron Allen, who was making semiconductor parts for soon-to-be Silicon Valley powerhouses, received a strange telephone call: a man on the line wanted Allen Engineering to build and design rifle silencers. “At the time, I thought it was some sort of sting operation,” said Allen. On the phone was Phil Seberger who ran a garage and basement suppressor business in Shingleton, California. Seberger needed someone with a true machinist’s skill to make parts like muzzle brakes for his company: Ops Inc.
