The Epsilon 556SL is insanely loud. Any ideas on making it quieter? Love the upper, btw

I would recommend switching to a standard A2 Birdcage flash hider or purchasing a muzzle device that allows you to equip a suppressor. Email us at Techsales@opticsplanet.com for further assistance.

The Aero Precision M4E1 Threaded Complete Upper Receivers come with a VG6 Precision Epsilon 556SL. I am unaware of a flash oppressor that will attach to this muzzle device.

Can you put a Synergy Linear Hybrid Compensator on this?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on July 15, 2022

These Aero Precision M4E1 Threaded Complete Upper Receivers have a pinned and welded VG6 Epsilon Muzzle Device. So the SLR Synergy Linear Hybrid Compensator could not be threaded onto the barrel.

Typically, if the muzzle is pinned and welded (permanently attached) it will qualify as the overall length of the barrel. Any barrel shorter than 16” on an upper mated to a lower with a stock will classify as a short-barreled rifle. Best to reach out to your local FFL for determining what your state/local laws are and for legal advice.

Answered by Aero Precision USA, Manufacturer from WA, United States, on April 05, 2022

It will be dependent on the barrel length and if you are utilizing a stock rather than a brace. Best to reach out to your local FFL for determining what your state/local laws are and for legal advice.
