AAC Announces the Halcyon .22 Suppressor
April 28, 2017Thanks to a new release from Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC), their Ti-Rant M series cans now have a little brother. Named the Halcyon, their new .22 silencer features the same adaptability as its larger siblings as well as the same (or similar) K-baffle design as the centerfire options.
While the full specifications can be seen below, let’s take a moment to break it down (pun intended?). The Halcyon can be configured in either 5.28″ or 3.41″ lengths with weights of 6.1 ounces and 4.5 ounces respectively. The baffles are all made of titanium, as is the main tube. The forward extension is constructed of 7075-T6 aluminum, much like the Ti-Rants. Thanks to these rugged materials, the Halcyon is rated up to 5.7x28mm for semi-automatic firearms and can handle fully-automatic .22 LR.
Check out the excerpt posted below from AAC’s press release to get the full details.

When he isn’t shooting or writing, Nathan nerds out over computers, 3D printing, and Star Wars.
