Core-556 Suppressor
$425 MSRP
The KGM CORE-556 was designed to complement the most prolific firearm platform in the United States. Intended for AR-15 and M4-style rifles, carbines, and pistols chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington, the CORE-556 delivers on the performance standards expected from all KGM Suppressors, in a streamlined and accessible package.
Building on the proven performance of the R556A1 and R556A2, the CORE-556 features a simplified, fully welded stainless-steel construction for durability and long service life. A 1/2×28 direct-thread rear mount provides a robust and repeatable attachment method. Improved internal geometry, derived from the Rogue-Alpha family, allows the compact 4.75-inch suppressor to stand out among leading “K-can” designs.
An ideal solution for shooters who own multiple AR-style rifles, the CORE-556 is a dedicated suppressor for training, duty, and professional use. Built to endure heavy firing schedules and maintain hearing-safe performance on standard-length 5.56/.223 platforms. At an MSRP of only $425, the CORE-556 delivers affordable, professional-grade performance, and earns its place in every armory. And, of course, it comes in heat-resistant C-Series Cerakote.
