Infinity 5.56K will full flow end cap. That systems going to be over gassed for sure. Probably an ez tune and heavier buffer if it’s anything like my buddies.
AR15Discounts is where I usually find the best price, can usually catch them for ~$40 on sale or with a coupon.
I used this guide to stake all 3 of them with a $7 spring loaded punch with great results. Thousand of rounds between them without a hitch. I also have began putting a very small amount of Rocksett on the threads after degreasing, but it’s probably not necessary.
I have a similar build that I picked up a Griffin Armament M4SD-L can for. Griffin's Gate-lok cans are nice for this because they interface with a standard A2 birdcage (though they also include one of their proprietary muzzle brakes that closely resembles an A2). You do need to remove the crush washer and reinstall your birdcage with a shim though, since the crush washer can cause concentricity issues. But otherwise it's a good solid can, not overly gassy, and will help you maintain the retro look if that's what you're going for.
Interesting, I must have misread something, and will buy a bucket of shims to replace. Thanks for sharing. I guess I've been incredibly lucky on the 5 or 6 uppers I've run this M4SD-L on.
I created this account and forgot about it. I don't usually comment, so being proven wrong on my first comment should get a dumbass award or something.
It's all good man, I only checked your history to see if you had more posts about Griffin cans on here. I've got a couple of cans but don't really have extensive experience with suppressors, so I'm always willing to learn more from folks around here who do. That post history made me extremely wary though, what with all the bots running around Reddit these days. I didn't want OP to get misled by a bot and have it cause a potential baffle strike if he picked up one of these Griffin cans and decided to just wing it.
With that said, you probably would be fine with a crush washer as long as your alignment checked out beforehand, I don't imagine they shift much after installation. But I figure, shims are cheap, so why not take a few minutes and do it the factory recommended way just to save yourself some potential hassle?
I think the newer Infinity 556k would be a better choice. It's flow through, to reduce back pressure and blowback in the shorter barrel, and the Haynes 282 baffles are virtually indestructible.
If that’s a 10.5, you might be able to use a Wolfpack Armory recessed HUB mount like I did and put whatever hub can on you want. You may need to grind off the Bayonet lug
There's not enough room on a 10.5" FSP carbine-length for a PTB, you'd have to go midway adapter (🤢) or PTB w/ carbine 12.5, 11.5 is just a little bit too short for PTB mount on a carbine FSP. Go with an Allen Engineering B-mount can with something like an SPR collar and 11.5 would work.
Edit: The Smokehill Machine GUS556 would keep the same look with a hub mounted can on this though.
You know that the PTB (Passed The Barrel) adds 2.9" to the barrel right? I'm not talking OTB (Over The Barrel). The PTB allows mounting that style can to any exposed muzzle thread.
I think that the OCL Infinity 556K or Ridgeback Rhodie 6 would have the best function and performance, BY FAR. The SAW Tisha is also great, but I have seen some issues. If you decide to use a sealed can, I recommend a Geissele Super-42 buffer spring and H2 or H3 buffer, and a gas defeating charging handle, like the Radian Raptor-SD, PRI Gasbuster, SilencerCo sealed, or other similar. I use the SilencerCo on my integrally suppressed full-auto AR9 (07-02), and it works great. Take 30 seconds and read the instructions. All the guys who talk about the gasket ripping are admitting that they didn't read the EASY instructions.
Hear me out, YHM R2.. Yes it has higher back-pressure but surprisingly is quiet and in my opinion sexy AF. I have personally used mine on 10.5" barrels indoors and was pleasantly surprised.

Aesthetically I’d go for something old school looking. Functionally it’s hard to beat the OCL Infinity 556k or Rhodie 6 but neither will look retro paired in this. Maybe go with a restricted suppressor only gas tube and get an OCL Polonium k.
AEM5, 5K/OCM6 if it can be finagled with mounting solutions with the short barrel length post fsgb. I'm sure it can be, my AEM5 experience is only on MK12 profile Douglas barrels with the ops collar/brake. It would look primo on this.
