Mark Percy, really good guy

So I emailed MAE and Gary got back to me. From what I could gather they have taken suppressors of that website and have moved them over to a new site. However, this site is not yet publicly accessible.

They are only selling suppressors compatible with A-Cat firearms which totally makes sense given the current legal climate. How you determine a suppressor for a semi-centrefire compared to a bolt action though I am yet to work out.

There were models rated for semi auto and I think full auto fire.
They will be the ones no longer available.

Oh right! That makes sense!

Okay, Steve B and Steve O had H Dutton and Co on Porana Road in the early 90’s before they became Truflite.

Gary McColl bought Mark Percy out of his suppressor business and renamed it McColl Arms and Engineering and was running it out of a two storey home and workshop unit next to a coffee roaster on William Pickering Drive, then he changed it to MAE and moved to Ellice Rd, Glenfield. That was the last place I saw him, would have been just after I bought my R93 300 WM in 2001, he sold me a SS over barrel can which I still use.
