The Griffin Recce 5K AM black suppressor is a compact 5.56mm can whose core Griffin Armament prints from its own Nickel 625X powder alloy using SLM additive manufacturing (brand part no. GAREC5KAMW). Printing yields a solid core, and Griffin laser-welds it to a machined 17-4 stainless rear so the can stays warranty serviceable. Griffin calls it the highest-performing Recce 5K it has built, with an integrated flash hider end cap that works with the printed core to hold flash to a first-round minimum. It rides on the backward-compatible Taper Mount-RI system, which retains far better than a plain direct thread. This is the black version, a good match for a short-barreled AR-15 or a 5.56mm duty carbine.
