Thread: Hight Value(cheap) Suppressors

I have a DPT on one of the 7mm08s and it does double duty on the 233, works very well on both

It will probably work fine. If you go DPT you could always buy a 223 baffle stack and interchange them.

And to add, I have had both dpt and gunworks, I like the dpt better, its much lighter and I prefer the shorter profile, although I believe Robbie has added shorter supps to his product list

I was looking the other day and gunworks have a short 50mm dia suppressor for 223 only. Anyone here tried it?

If you want to swap out the internals I asked, its pretty close to the price of a new one, $225 v $300. I too wonder how much loss in performance you would get to have a .30 caliber silencer with 223 passing through it. 50% loss? not good 10%? who cares....

The 7mm DPT on my 223 is as quiet as the 223 suppressors I have here.

I share a Spartan between the .270 and 7.62x39mm
no reason you cant share between the 2 you mention...mightn't be as super quiet with the .224 cal but wont be too much difference

I would also look at the muzzle MAE cans , I like mine for the price , I run a 22 Hornet with one , & a few 308s as well , alot of can for the money , mine cost me $230 new for the 308 can , less for the 22mag can thats on the hornet .

Ah yes the two *not* to buy

huh?

Gunworks cans are terrible and HRE's might blow your face off but will be quieter than the GW one up till that point.

My 308 suppressor (DPT) practically lives on my 223, I was going to buy one for the as well 223 but tried this first. It seems to sound the same as a 223 suppressor I borrowed from a friend to do a comparison. So now I have a "1 size fits all" approach

Have any of the NZ hunting magazines ever done a proper (scientific) comparison of various factors for the various NZ manufactured suppressors?

I have Schultz and Larsen - Hardcore on my 7mm - its a modular design with the removable baffles - think they are 300 something

However they have a $200 version (Hunter) with I think 4 baffles (modular again) - very nice
