One place to research complete suppressor systems.

Checking whether a suppressor will mount on your rifle means opening a manufacturer PDF, a retailer listing, and a forum thread from 2019, then finding all three give different thread pitches and none mention the muzzle device you own. One maker lists a suppressor's total length, the next lists only how much it adds past the muzzle, and a third measures that with a particular mount already installed. Same-looking numbers, different measurements, and nothing says which is which. I got tired of doing that by hand, so I built the database I wanted.

Baffled is a free suppressor research engine: a catalog of 1,520 suppressors from 134 manufacturers, recorded with the specs each manufacturer publishes and a link to where each one was published. I normalize thread pitches, caliber groups, and materials so parts from different makers can be compared on equal footing.

Compatibility is the core. Fitment isn't an attribute of a suppressor, it's a chain: barrel thread, muzzle device, mount, suppressor, front cap. Each link has its own thread, and the mount systems are mostly proprietary and mutually incompatible: 125in the catalog, from HUB and KeyMo down to a single maker's own taper, on top of dozens of barrel thread pitches. Mounts, muzzle devices, pistons, adapters, and front caps are all catalogued with their own threads, so you can start from whatever you already have, a thread pitch or a suppressor, and get back only the parts that complete the chain, with net added length where the specs allow.

It also carries independent sound measurements from the Thunder Beast Silencer Summit: three years of testing across 561 suppressors, of which 254are matched to a catalog row here so far. Those numbers come from neither the manufacturers nor me. Comparisons stay inside a single test, because those suppressors were fired on the same gun on the same day and figures from separate tests aren't comparable. The site publishes no sound rankings for that reason.

The guides walk through finding, building, and comparing step by step.

Most specs come from the manufacturer's own published material, and every product links the page its numbers came from. Where a maker never published a number, I'll take it from whoever did, and the link tells you who that was.

I keep a copy of every page I read. Makers redesign sites and drop products, so the page a number came from is often gone by the time you want to check it, and specs hide in description paragraphs and linked PDFs. Saved copies let me re-check every number and catch what I missed.

A spec that fails a check doesn't get published. It gets held and flagged so I can find the right answer, rather than quietly rounded into place. Nothing is added automatically: I review every change before it goes live.

Where a spec is blank, nobody has verified it. It doesn't mean zero and it doesn't mean no. The site tells you a number is unknown rather than inventing one. Numbers it works out rather than reads, like a net added length derived from a mounting standard instead of a measured overlap, are marked as estimates.

Every spec on the site today is checked by me against what the maker published. None of them yet carry confirmation from the maker itself. When a manufacturer confirms its own specs directly, those get a manufacturer-verified badge, so you can tell the two apart.

Baffled is in early public beta, and the catalog gets better when people who know these parts tell me what I got wrong. If something looks off, mail [email protected] or use the contact form with the page URL and your source. Compatibility corrections and specification corrections are the most useful things to send. Confirmed errors get fixed in the next data run, and the corrected spec keeps its source link.

Baffled isn't a dealer. It does not sell, ship, or transfer firearms, suppressors, or any other NFA item, and never handles a transaction. Buying one goes through a licensed dealer or SOT and the ATF approval process. Everything here is informational, not legal advice, and NFA rules vary by state.

It isn't a guarantee of fit either. Compatibility is calculated from published threads, interfaces, and mounting standards rather than certified part by part, and some host-specific and installation-specific factors can't be captured in a catalog. Confirm anything critical with the manufacturer or your dealer before you buy or assemble parts.

The Terms of Use cover the formal version.

Through clearly marked retailer links, and nothing else. Baffled is independently developed and has one affiliate relationship: accessory pages may show an OpticsPlanet price and a Shop link, and a purchase made through one may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. No one pays to rank, to be recommended, or to be in the catalog.

The independence doesn't change with the money: compensation will never determine compatibility conclusions, specifications, comparison output, or the order in which products appear.

Nothing here sits behind a paywall or an account, and you never have to buy anything to use any of it. If a link ever does earn a commission, whether you follow it is entirely your call, and every part of the site works the same if you never do.

The standing terms are on the affiliate disclosure page.
