The AWC Thor PSR suppressor .223 model is a rifle sound suppressor rated for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO (brand part no. 12009). It comes from AWC Systems Technology’s Thor PSR line, which covers more than one rifle caliber, and this version is the one sized for the .223 and 5.56 class. A dedicated can like this cuts the report and muzzle blast of a .223 or 5.56 rifle, which makes range days easier on the ears and keeps hunting shots from carrying as far. It is a straightforward pick for an AR-15 or bolt-action .223 owner who wants a suppressor matched to that cartridge rather than a larger .30 caliber can.
