Recently, Energetic Armament released their new ARX silencer to the market. Energetic Armament is a smaller well known manufacturer of high quality suppressors based out of Massachusetts.

The new ARX silencer is a dedicated 5.56 silencer that is also full auto rated. So, it can handle your .223 Rem, 5.56 NATO, and .224 Valkyrie with ease. While providing you the smooth jazz sounds of suppressed rounds heading down range. The new ARX is also compatible with SilencerCo’s Omega and ASR mounts, Dead Air’s KEY MO, Q’s Plan-B, and Area 419 Hellfire.

Below, is the product description and specs for the new ARX silencer from Energetic Armament.

Product Description

The ARX™ 5.56mm centerfire silencer for AR-platform eXtreme performance. At less than 8 oz. the ARX™ represents best-in-class light weight for a hard use 5.56 dedicated silencer. The ARX™ features composite C-300 nickel-cobalt maraging steel baffles with laser welded Inconel® 625 leading edges. This hybrid composite baffle design leverages the best engineering properties of both materials to create a baffle core that can stand up to full auto 5.56 use with no barrel length restriction. The nitrided C300 baffles handle extreme pressure at thin, light cross sections and the Inconel® 625 leading edges provide hot gas erosion protection to the bore aperture. The ARX™ is designed with a ported blast baffle and stepwise progressive bore to balance backpressure and sound suppression. Less gas to the shooter, less sound to the ear.

The ARX™ features all the characteristics that Energetic Armament is known for in our centerfire silencers including our patent-pending serial ID ring and universal 1.375×24 mount making it compatible with most industry standard mounts and QD systems. This is all backed by our commitment to customer service and lifetime no-BS warranty.
