I have been thinking about applying for a tax stamp for a supressor. I have a mp 15 ar15, and also a couple of .22s. I have been reading that you can you a .223 supressor on a .22 but it has to disassemble for cleaning purposes… I would like to only have to buy one tax stamp…
My question is how accurate is this information? If it is accurate, what suppressor would you reccomend?
You are going to have a bad day if you launch a .223 through a .22lr suppressor.
Sorry, I miss posted. I read that you can use a .223 supressor on a.22 but it has to be able to dissemble for cleaning.
Who makes a .223 can where you can remove the baffle stack for cleaning?
I have no idea, that’s why I am posting my questions here 
my suggestion is get the right tool for the job. Get a dedicated 22 can and a 223 can or make the choice between them. I ended up going with the Silencerco SS Sparrow and Surefire 556 mini.
This can will cover your 5.56/223/22 needs at a very reasonable price. http://www.huntertownarms.com/k556.php.
The Kestrel is a good option. The Liberty Constitution is another option.
I’ve already seen some people recommend Wind Talker suppressors, but I haven’t read much about them.
Finding a centerfire rifle can that is user serviceable isn’t as easy as finding a centerfire pistol can that can pull double-duty on a 22.
I use a YHM Cobra M2 9mm for my 22lr and it works great.
YHM rates their .30 cal LT and LTA for .22:

After reading this, I emailed them to inquire about the .30 cal Phantom Ti QD, and they replied “Occasionally, yes. But clean the can afterwards.”
I have a Huntertown Guardian .22 in BATFe jail too, but you never know…
Issues with using .22 LR in any suppressor.
Fouling like there is horrible, the lead buildup and all that other gunk that gets thrown down the pipe stick to the baffles very well.
So if you are going to use a .223 can, and shoot .22 LR rimfire, I would give this piece of advice, don’t shoot it a bunch, meaning like a brick of .22 LR’s through it, it will get leaded and fouled. With a .223 can, that is not serviceable, it will be a nightmare to get clean.
I understand that you want to use, a .22 LR in a .223 suppressor, which is fine, but there are the downside that the fouling is horrible. Anyone here on this board that has a .22 LR can that is user serviceable will tell you after even 10 rounds through the can, its pretty dirty. Now imagine shooting a several hundred and you can see the lead get on the baffle, and then the burnt residue stick to the baffles. Seen this happen on my different TiRants, and also my gemtech’s, and my Sparrows, on how leaded they get.
Like one person said, use the right tool for the job, get a dedicated 22 LR can for use with a 22, it will work better for you. You will end up liking the 22 can so much that I won’t be surprised that you get more than 1. I have several 22 cans, several pistol, and several rifle cans. They are FUN!!! Hope that helps.
Is there a chart anywhere for the amount of pressure a bullet generates and the strengths of cans?
Just because a .40 and a 10mm are the same size doesn’t mean a can will work for both.
Kestrel 556 from Huntertown Arms will do. Then get osprey or octane 45 for other center fire pistols
In the suppressor world, 22 suppressors can be pretty cheap so I don’t see the value proposition here.
I’ve been impressed by the Thompson Machine Zephyr and Zephyr XL, they’re not as fancy as Silencerco, etc. but they’re also much less expensive and suppress just as well. I’m waiting on one to get approved now, got it used for $100 
OP, you say you want a 5.56 capable suppressor because you have an Ar-15? Just beware you are spending a lot of extra money and making a lot of compromises (heavier) for an idea that is not really that great: A standard AR-15 with silencer is still really loud, look at tests that have been done its barely hearing-safe.
I have a .22 suppressor for my .22 rifle and It works great , with standard velocity ammo you get real silence.
For Centerfire rifle I would just jump to a .308 suppressor it opens up a lot more possibilities for the same/Similar cost.
