The Anthem 2 and Mach series share the same baffle stack, the same 1.74" diameter, and the same three lengths. The difference is material. Anthem 2 is stainless steel. Mach is titanium. That changes the weight, the price, and how you can use it.
Quick answer
- Choose Mach if you carry the rifle a lot, like on a hunt, and want the lightest .30 caliber silencer we make.
- Choose Anthem 2 if you shoot full-auto, want a QD kit in the box, or want to spend less.
Side by side
| Length | Anthem 2 (stainless) | Mach (titanium) | Weight saved | Price difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5" | Anthem-K2: 11.8 oz, $579 | Mach-K: 7.4 oz, $829 | 4.4 oz | $250 |
| 6.85" | Anthem-S2: 14.2 oz, $679 | Mach-S: 9.0 oz, $929 | 5.2 oz | $250 |

Weights are without a mount. Prices are MSRP. Retail orders ship to your door through Capitol Armory, and their $75 service is added to the MSRP.
What is the same

What is different
Full-auto: Anthem 2 is full-auto rated. Mach is full-auto rated with subsonic ammunition only.
Short barrels: With a Mach, we recommend a muzzle brake on barrels shorter than 14.5". The simple way to do that is a Rearden Atlas mount in the silencer and a Liberty Bell brake on the barrel.
QD kits: The Anthem-K2, Anthem-S2, and Anthem-L2 also come as QD kits with a Rearden Atlas mount, a 1/2-28 Eclipse flash hider, and a 5/8-24 Liberty Bell brake. The Atlas also screws into any Mach, so you can add QD later.
Weight and price: Mach saves 4.4 to 6.9 oz for $250 to $300 more, depending on length.
Going bigger: .375 caliber
The same choice exists for .338 and .375 cartridges: the stainless Anthem 38 V2 (7.2", 15.4 oz) or the titanium Mach 38 (7.2", 10.4 oz) and Mach 38L (9.45", 13.5 oz). See all .375 caliber silencers.
