A quick look at EchoCore Suppressors, a new can company that’s already making big waves in the silencer industry.
With the silencer tax stamp fee’s recent reduction from $200 to $0, a ton of companies, both new and old, are joining the suppressor game. Why not? The demand is certainly increasing, so the supply has to as well. One of the newest companies is EchoCore Suppressors, but unlike a lot of other new cans on the market, EchoCore’s have already proved to be more than just background noise.
Officially debuted and tested at the 2025 Silencer Summit, known in the industry as the gold standard test for suppressor performance, EchoCore took both first and second place in the 5.56 category with its Sector 5.56 Full Size and Sector 5.56 Compact. That’s a very impressive feat, especially for a brand-new company facing off against much more experienced manufacturers. How’d they pull it off? The company chalks it up to precision engineering, advanced additive manufacturing techniques and its XCR (Cross Chamber Regulation) technology that keeps backpressure low without compromising sound and flash reduction. All of EchoCore’s cans are 3D-printed, feature a completely weldless design and are HUB Compatible, though materials vary between models. Most ship with a low-flash vented endcap as well.
Chris Mudgett, Founder of EchoCore Suppressors, had this to say about his company’s recent victory at Silencer Summit:
Earning first and second place in our debut year validates everything we’ve worked toward … EchoCore was built on the belief that true innovation is alive and well in this industry. Our team’s expertise, discipline, and relentless pursuit of performance are what make these results possible — and this is just the beginning.
Exclusively available through Silencer Shop, EchoCore already has more to offer than the 5.56 Sector line, as the company’s catalog features the Traverse 30, LaTitude 30 and Radius 360 Multi-Cal as well.
This is one silencer company that’s definitely worth keeping an eye on, so much so that I’ve already lined up a hands-on review of the Sector 5.56 Full Size. I’ll be excited to hit the range with it as soon as the transfer goes through to see (or hear) what it can do for an AR in person.
