What suppressors, if any, are compatible with this flash hider?

I think the MASD II Silencer by GRIFFIN ARMAMENT will fit, but im not sure.

Helpful Positive Review Amazing upper! by Mo Guns, Verified Owner, April 23, 2021
Really amazing upper. Daniel Defense makes such high quality products. Shoots great, great accuracy, and the rail looks and feels really nice. Surprisingly light as well. The best deal on these uppers if you can use a coupon or discount code.

Helpful Positive Review Good upper by Swampdonkey, Verified Owner, February 6, 2024
Only complaint I have is the packing was absolutely horrendous. The actual Daniel defense upper box was in a pandion box with 1 sheet of bubble wrap.. so it had about 5 inches of room on each side to bounce around and nothing to keep from bouncing up...

Helpful Positive Review Nicest Upper DD Has by Meeks, January 3, 2019
I'm a huge Daniel Defense supporter and user and as such buy a lot of their products. Their RIS2 Rail System is hands down my favorite on the market and the bronze color just looks nice with FDE or Coyote accessories. Superb quality, superb accuracy ...

Product Info for Daniel Defense M4A1 14.5 in Barrel 5.56mm NATO Upper Receiver Group

The Daniel Defense M4A1 Upper Receiver Group features the M4A1 Rail Interface System (RIS II), which has been in use by US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for the SOPMOD II Weapons System since 2005. This two-piece, free-floating rail system allows the mounting of devices like a M203 grenade launcher without influencing the barrels harmonics, eliminating problems like wandering point of impact that plagued other mounting designs. The two-piece design also allows for partial disassembly of the rail to aid in cleaning around barrel without completely removing the entire rail system. The weight of anything attached to the RISII rail system is fully supported by a sturdy bolt-up system, using 6 grade 8 bolts, leaving the barrel completely free floating for best possible accuracy and dependability. The M4A1 features a 14.5" Cold Hammer Forged M4 Profile barrel with a permanently attached Daniel Defense Improved Flash Suppressor to meet the NFA required 16" length. All Daniel Defense complete upper receiver groups come standard with an M16 profile bolt carrier group.image
