Bushmaster Firearms has just announced the MUTA II, the latest version of the company’s direct-thread 5.56/.223 suppressor.
The original Bushmaster MUTA was released a few years ago, but a lot has happened in the suppressor space since then. Harnessing the advantages of new manufacturing techniques and materials, the MUTA II BM556 is packed with improvements over its predecessor.
Featuring a 3D-printed Inconel 625 exterior, the MUTA II is shorter, lighter and quieter than the original. It has a length of only 5.65 inches, an outer body diameter of 1.675 inches and a weight of 12.25 ounces. Bushmaster also says that the suppressor is full-auto rated, built tough and designed to more efficiently dissipate heat when shooting.
As for sound suppression, the MUTA II is advertised as being able to reduce the sound signature of 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington by 14 percent at the left ear, 15.4 percent at the muzzle and 15.9 percent at the right ear. Cleaning and maintenance are also made simple thanks to the suppressor’s threaded front cap and removable baffle stack. For mounting, the MUTA II is only available as a direct-thread suppressor with a 1/2×28 thread pitch.
The Bushmaster MUTA II BM556 suppressor has an MSRP of $709.95 and is available now.
