Bushmaster Suppressor

Bushmaster Firearms has just unveiled the next iteration of the Bushmaster MUTA Suppressor, the new 3-D printed Inconel Bushmaster MUTA II. Designed for use with .223 Rem./5.56 NATO cartridges, the new Bushmaster MUTA II has a 14-percent sound reduction at the left ear, a 15.4-percent reduction at the muzzle and a 15.9-percent reduction at the right ear.

The Bushmaster MUTA II 5.56 suppressor is designed with a compact length of 5.65 inches and only weighs 12.25 ounces. The device’s front crap is also threaded and the baffle stack is removable for easy access to cleaning and maintenance. The exterior of the MUTA II Suppressor is finished in a durable black Cerakote layer for protection against wear and hard use.

Inconel Alloy 625, the primary material used for the construction of the Bushmaster MUTA II 5.56 mm suppressor is a nickel based “superalloy” with a high heat resistance and strength properties. As a material, it’s also extremely resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Outside of suppressor or firearms related applications, Inconcel Alloy 625 is used in the marine and nuclear industries because of these qualities. When applied to suppressors, this material can withstand the harsh conditions present when containing the expanding gasses and the report of high pressure, high velocity .223 Rem./5.56 NATO ammunition. The 3-D printed configuration inside the Bushmaster MUTA II has a flow-through design which vents the gases forward in the same direction as the muzzle.
