SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 5.56 NATO Suppressor 6.4" Black

SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 5.56 NATO Suppressor – Black

The SureFire SOCOM556-RC2 is a 5.56 NATO / .223 rifle suppressor built around SureFire's combat-proven SOCOM suppressor architecture. Designed for hard-use rifle platforms, the RC2 combines high-temperature Inconel and stainless steel construction, a durable black Cerakote finish, and SureFire's SOCOM Fast-Attach mounting system.

The suppressor measures approximately 6.4" long, 1.5" in diameter, and weighs 17 oz. SureFire engineered the RC2 to reduce sound, flash, and dust signature while controlling backpressure to help maintain reliable operation of the host firearm.

Mounting Note: The SOCOM556-RC2 uses the SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach mounting interface. A compatible SureFire SOCOM muzzle device is required for installation and is not listed as included with this SKU.

Built for 5.56 NATO and .223 Platforms

The SOCOM556-RC2 is optimized for 5.56 NATO and .223-caliber rifle systems. SureFire specifies a minimum barrel length of 10 inches for this suppressor, making it suitable for a wide range of compatible rifle and short-barrel configurations that meet the manufacturer's requirements.

High-Temperature Inconel Construction

SureFire constructs the RC2 using high-temperature Inconel alloys and stainless steel with advanced manufacturing and laser-welding techniques. This construction is designed to withstand demanding firing schedules and harsh operating conditions.

The suppressor is also full-auto rated, reflecting its emphasis on durability and sustained use on compatible 5.56 platforms.

Total Signature Reduction Technology

The SOCOM556-RC2 incorporates SureFire's Total Signature Reduction technology, which is designed to reduce multiple observable signatures rather than focusing solely on sound. According to SureFire, the system helps reduce sound, muzzle flash, and dust disturbance generated during firing.

SureFire also designed the RC2 to minimize first-round flash, an important characteristic for users who place a premium on flash reduction from a rifle suppressor.

Reduced Backpressure Internal Baffle Design

The RC2 uses SureFire's internal baffling architecture to help reduce backpressure compared with more restrictive suppressor designs. Reduced backpressure can help limit unnecessary gas and fouling being redirected through the host firearm while supporting reliable cycling.

SOCOM Fast-Attach Mounting System

The suppressor uses the SureFire SOCOM Fast-Attach system, allowing the suppressor to be mounted or removed from a compatible SureFire muzzle device without tools. The locking system is designed to provide secure attachment and repeatable positioning.

A compatible SureFire SOCOM-series muzzle device is required and should be purchased separately unless otherwise specifically included with the product.

Repeatable Point-of-Impact Performance

SureFire states that its SOCOM suppressors are tested for repeatable point-of-impact shift and group-size consistency. The RC2 is designed to maintain predictable performance when repeatedly installed and removed using the Fast-Attach mounting system.
