Great news

I am actually working on a new type of QD. I will probably use the ratchet mount for end mount cans though since there is a lot of interest and it is dead simple to make. I apologize if it seems slow but there are a lot of new products I am working on and will have two two subsonic cans out next week (9mm and BLK). Of course the BLK will work with supersonic and non magnum 30 cal as well.
The bolt gun design is really gelling in my mind and will be committed to solid model next week. Sound tests from an independent source is about two weeks away for the 556-45 can.
Great to hear! 300blk uppers landed and cleared customs yesterday and arriving here tommorow. Cant wait to test.
I hope the guys doing your sound testing , do it to MIL STD 1474C , if they donot , the results are meaning less , as these are the Standard required .
And if they are not , you just paid some one to do Nothing !!!
But then , you maybe knew that already .
Still waiting for your bolt gun cans .
Later Chris
Mil STD? I was just going to give it to some bloke with an app on his phone. ;)
You're dead right there Chris, testing needs to be done correctly if it is to have any value as an objective standard. It also means training in the process to ensure you are getting consistent results with other professionals. This bloke has trained under Alan Paulson, Phil Dater and John Titsworth and uses a B & K 2209.
I could get a meter and read the mil spec, but unless someone who was previously trained pointed out how to do it correctly, my results would be questionable unless another professional could duplicate them. Also, the fact that there is a conflict of interest in doing my own testing unless it is for internal evaluation which means that I wouldn't feel right in publishing results of my tests.
Based on some input by you, Gimp and others I am narrowing down on a brake that recesses about 40 to 50 mm from the muzzle and provides a true two point, tensioned fit. Since most guns will need threading anyway, we might as well make the fitting optimal for accuracy and strength with a minimum of barrel turning.
The brake can either be very good as a brake, a pretty good brake with minimal dust signature (in other words directing the none of the gas down or straight out the sides), or optimum for the suppressor first stage. All three can be made easily and people can choose what they want to optimize with can on or can off. If I make the brakes for the can to mount on, none of them will be as good as a brake made to do one job only.
Diameter is in the 43 - 46 range although I would like to go a bit larger for 338. Any further comments are appreciated.
When you have a prototype QD can + brake, I'll buy one to test.
.223
If I had a choice my personal preference would be compramised brake for optimum suppression.
Some photos of what you've got would be good?
This is one I am not happy with but at least you can see where this is going. This brake vents all around and actually is not a bad brake but it will blow dust on dry ground into the next island. The large venting means that the suppressor will work pretty well. Keep in mind that this is basic and not at all like the finished product. This does not have any of the QD attachments we have been talking about either.
This week and next are very busy with other projects. After that I will finish the ratchet mount brake and can.

I would prefer a horizontally venting brake a la Surefire MB556K or AAC Blackout brake, just for usability as a brake, even if it compromises suppression a little
Looks neat though and I am interested to see what you end up with (and looking forward to shooting it)
Hi Chris,
This is completely incorrect information and needs to be corrected.
We were working with Beretta NZ, for the civilian market.
The NZ military & police market was and is represented by Spearpoint Solutions & Technology, that also cover our products for the Australian market.
The import of test samples going to the NZ police was handled in co-operation with Spearpoint and Beretta NZ, without any issues, at least to our knowledge.
I will not comment further on MIL/LE contracts, but the ordered quantity was not near 2000 pieces.
We have not worked recently with Beretta NZ with regards to the civilian market, as they simply did not order products any more and we did inquire from them several times about this.
They may very well have their good reasons, but the comments you related from the Beretta gunsmith are simply not true.
I would also not like to be called a wanker, if there is second/third hand information spread around that is not correct.
Regards!

Matt, email sent!
I tried to order through Beretta NZ and it was "too hard"
Hi Spanners,
Any chances of providing us info as what and when those ase ultra would be available in NZ?
What thread options will you propose?
Thanks.
There are many options avail
Best is to specify what you want and we can try and work around it.
We are looking at an order of ASE Utra suppressors in the next week it so, so if your are interested get In touch and the best option will be worked out for you.
ASE Utra lead the pack when it comes to suppression of noise
Let me know if you guys have any questions, for example what suppressor options are available for X calibre, what the differences are etc.
It helps others as well if I answer them here on the forum, instead of relying on emails or private messages.
Best Regards!
