Frequently Asked Questions

What is the YHM 5.56mm TURBO® Integral Suppression System?

The YHM 5.56mm TURBO® Integral Suppression System is an AR-15 upper receiver that integrates a Turbo T2 suppressor directly into the barrel. This design results in an overall length of just over 16 inches, qualifying it as a single-stamp NFA item, and offers reduced blowback and cyclic rate.

How does the integral suppressor affect cleaning and maintenance?

For centerfire rifle calibers like 5.56mm, integral suppressors generally do not require regular internal cleaning. High-pressure rounds typically burn off or expel debris. The primary recommendation is to use a mop instead of a patch for cleaning the bore to prevent losing a patch inside the suppressor baffles.

What are the benefits of the specially designed gas block in this system?

The integral system features a gas block with a reduced gas port size. This modification is crucial for minimizing blowback and lowering the cyclic rate of the firearm, making it significantly more pleasant to shoot, especially in full-auto configurations. It's tuned specifically for the barrel and suppressor length.

What is the decibel rating and MSRP of the YHM integral suppressor system?

The YHM 5.56mm TURBO® Integral Suppression System has a decibel rating of 134 dB. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the complete upper receiver, excluding optics, is $1415. It is available now, with units expected to ship soon.
