Bushmaster Announces The Muta II BM556

Bushmaster has released the MUTA II BM556, the next generation of the company’s original direct-thread MUTA suppressor line. A lot has changed since the original release in 2021, so it only makes sense that Bushmaster would update this suppressor using modern design and manufacturing techniques to offer shooters up-to-date improvements in ergonomics and performance. With the added benefits of being lighter and more compact, Bushmaster also says the MUTA II BM556 is quieter, an evolution I can get on board with. But that’s not all.

Check out TFB’s article on the release of the original Bushmaster MUTA BM556 and BM30.

The MUTA II body is 3D-printed from Inconel 625, offering lightweight construction without sacrificing ruggedness and longevity. The suppressor features a tough Cerakote finish and is purpose-built to dissipate heat quickly and efficiently.

Designed for overall functionality, The MUTA II is the shortest and lightest dedicated 5.56 suppressor from Bushmaster to date. With a length of only 5.65 inches, an outer diameter of 1.675 inches and 1.815 inches at the flare, and weighing 12.25 ounces, Bushmaster promises the MUTA II delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability without excessive bulk and weight where you don’t need it.

While the MUTA II is about more than simply reducing noise, Bushmaster reports a reduction in sound signature on 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington rounds of 14.0% at the left ear, 15.9% at the right ear, and 15.4% at the muzzle.

So far, so good, but there’s more. The MUTA II BM556 is full auto-rated and user-serviceable, with a threaded front cap and removable baffle stack for easy cleaning and maintenance. The muzzle end is threaded 1/2×28 for standard AR-15 and 5.56 applications with no barrel length restrictions.

Here’s another feature you might appreciate. The Bushmaster MUTA II BM556 has an MSRP of $709.95, making it a great deal considering its features and construction.

The MUTA II BM556 sounds interesting and has a unique aesthetic to the suppressor. I’d love to get my hands on one and report back that it is everything Bushmaster it promises to be. A long-time fan of the company since childhood, I certainly hope so. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
