The Banish 556 might sound similar to the existing Banish 223 (5.56 NATO and .223 Rem are very similar, after all), but it’s in a league of its own from a capability standpoint.
Yes, it’s designed for 5.56 NATO ammo. That includes fully automatic fire, and there are no barrel restrictions. Want to mag-dump your SBR? Live your dream.
It’s also designed to keep you comfortable. In addition to sound suppression and reduced muzzle flash, the Banish 556 should be gentle on you and your firearm.
Controlled-flow technology keeps gas moving forward, meaning less pressure on your bolt and less spray in your face.
The key to success is a stainless steel blast chamber that’s paired with nine 3D-printed Inconel baffles.
It’s HUB-compatible and comes with a 1/2×28 adapter, so mounting is straightforward and easy.
You can have the Banish 556 in black or flat dark earth, and Banish backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Performance this good doesn’t come cheaply; Banish lists an MSRP of $1,129 for the Banish 556.

A grand for a 3D printed Inconel suppressor, isn't bad. I know some people (fudds) who say "if you aren't paying as much, or more, for your glass, as you are your rifle, then why even bother?" Plus, no more tax stamps, which is nice, although the NFA needs to be deatroyed altogether.
Over a grand for a gun accessary. No thanks.
Funny, once the $200 tax disappeard. Prices went up.
Now someone gona explain Econ 101 supply/demand, blah...blah..blah.
Prices didn't go up. Depending on length and materials, reduced-backflow suppressors have predominantly been in the $1000-$1500 range for years. You just weren't paying attention.
