I'm looking to get a silencer that I can use on 5.56, 22 lr, and 22 wmr. Don't wanna break the bank either. What would you recommend and price please? Thanks.

Generally speaking, there are no worthwhile 5.56 cans that I'd run on anything rimfire. You want your rimfire cans to be user serviceable, since rimfire is especially dirty. Most 5.56 cans will have their baffles welded in for durability, and therefore will not be user serviceable.
The only user serviceable 5.56 can that I can think of off-hand is the Liberty Constitution, which is a direct-thread suppressor. I suppose it'd be fine on a bolt gun, but direct-thread gets really old on AR-pattern rifles. It's also 20 ounces, so I would't want to run it on a .22 pistol.

What Jawn said... Wait, JAWN? Where have you been? I missed seeing your avatar.
The Griffin Optimus is your best choice. It is rated for .308 and 9mm and .22 rimfire.

It also comes with most of the mounts and endcaps you may need.

They're $900 from SilencerShop, which, while on the expensive end I don't think is silly for what it does.
The issue is finding one in stock somewhere.
And yeah, OP, if you want one can for all that stuff, the Optimus is about it. The trick, as has been mentioned, is that you want a user serviceable can if you're going to shoot rimfire in it because it will get filthy. The Optimus plus a stamp will be about $1100 or so, IF you can find one.
I don't know what your budget is, but you could also do something like a SilencerCo Spectre 2 ($350 or so plus stamp) for the rimfire stuff and a YHM Phantom, or a SIG SRD556, or an AAC 556-SD, all of which are about $500 plus stamp. That would put you at about $1250 all in with stamps, which is a decent amount of money but is only about $150 more than an Optimus would run you and you end up with a better can for the rimfire stuff with a decent can for the centerfire stuff.
Oh I'm with you bro, OP wanted a do it all suppressor for cheap which is crazy. I was being facetious trying to predict his response. But these modular suppressors are perfect for the guy that just wants one that can do everything. Even at 1k it's still a deal.They're $900 from SilencerShop, which, while on the expensive end I don't think is silly for what it does.

No problem. I have done a metric ton of research on this over the past year or so, and my first can is in jail at the moment, so I figured I may as well share my thoughts.
I've got pistol and subsonic .300BLK covered with one can, and now I figure I need two more - a centerfire rifle can and a rimfire can. Rimfire will be a Spectre 2, and centerfire rifle most likely will be a Rugged Surge. I just need to get off my ass and get them bought.

I went with the Silencerco Sparrow and Hybrid, both are in purgatory until late spring or summer. The Hybrid may be large for the hand guns, but they all have red dots that should clear the can.

My plans are to use it on my ar-15, Ruger American 22 lr bolt gun, m&p 15-22, and Kel tec cmr 30.
I'M BACK.
