Palmetto State Armory Expands Suppressor Line with Sabre BT5 Inconel Models
Author: Aleksa M. | Publish Date: Jan 05, 2026 | Fact checked by: Marko Lalovic
Palmetto State Armory has added two new 5.56-caliber suppressors to its catalog, both built around durable Inconel construction and the BT5 mounting standard. The new releases include the Sabre BT5 5.56 Inconel and the Sabre Compact BT5 Mini 5.56 Inconel, each available in flat dark earth (FDE) or black finishes. While the exterior options differ, both suppressors share the same core materials and internal design philosophy.

The Sabre BT5 5.56 Inconel is the full-length model in the lineup, featuring a five-port configuration engineered to handle standard 5.56 NATO pressures. Constructed entirely from Inconel—a high-strength, heat-resistant superalloy commonly used in extreme environments such as motorsports—the suppressor is designed to tolerate sustained firing schedules and repeated thermal cycling. Its ported tube and internal geometry are intended to balance sound reduction with controlled backpressure, while the robust material choice emphasizes long service life under demanding use. Compatibility with standard BT5 mounts allows it to interface with a wide range of existing muzzle devices and mounting systems.

The Sabre Compact BT5 Mini 5.56 Inconel takes the same foundational design and condenses it into a shorter, lighter package. Retaining the Inconel tube and five-port layout, the Mini reduces overall length to improve handling and maneuverability. This configuration is aimed at AR-15s, carbines, and other 5.56 NATO platforms where compactness is a priority but suppressed capability is still required.
Both suppressors rely on the standard BT5 mounting interface, a widely adopted system known for quick attach/detach functionality and broad aftermarket support.
With the introduction of the Sabre BT5 and Sabre Compact BT5 Mini, Palmetto State Armory broadens its 5.56 NATO suppressor options, offering shooters a choice between a full-size, duty-oriented design and a more compact solution—both built to withstand high heat, high round counts, and hard use.
