ASSEMBLY / WARRANTY | Sub-Silent Suppressors
Had an early one on my 22mag. No disrespcet to the fella but I wasnt that happy with the quality. It worked ok, then the internals collapsed. He fixed it free of charge, then after another few trips it fell apart again. I replaced it with a Bunny Buster which in my opinion is superior in every way.
I've got one of his overbarrels on my 223 and a slim can on my .22. Overbarrel is a bit bigger and heavier and not as polished as some of the higher end suppressor builders, but it still does the job well enough at taking the edge off the noise. 22 can is decent, seems to perform on par with most other suppressors in that bracket. Both suppressors are good and robust, the 223 one especially I suspect will outlast the gun.
As with anything, you do get what you pay for. If you're on a tight budget, his product is acceptable enough at half the price of Gunworks. Although if I was buying again I'd probably spend the extra hundred or so and pick up a DPT suppressor of some description.
I agree with Striker - you gets what you pays for. I have Gunworks suppressors on my .22mag and my .308 - am totally satisfied with their products and amazing service. When I'm out on a hunt I don't want to be worrying if the unit I'm using is going to be reliable. Paying a few dollars more for peace of mind is well worth it.
My mate and I did a side by side comparison of a Rev Rog I bought vs a SAK one from reloaders he bought - SAK one was lighter, shorter, nicer finish, half the price and suppressed the noise to the same level when compared Rev Rog one. If I had to do it again I would have bought a SAK from reloaders and saved $100.
i have one for my 25-06 / 223 combi unit it was too long and heavy , it made a great flame thrower :P i dont use it anymore except for bashin coons i didnt think it was that effective as other ive seen/heard
he also botched up the crown while threadin one rifle and scared the barrel in the vice jaws ...think you are safe to say i wasnt a happy camper :sick:
My first one on my .17 failed. It was alloy not one of Rogers and just got louder and louder.
I got him to make a larger metal one and it also goes over barrell with a bush at end of over barrell part.
This has had hundreds of rounds through it. (Actually two of those loud annoying bird things off the deck this am.. missed both at 30 mtrs then killed both at 150 two paddocks away, Just doing it the hard way as usual)
It is quieter than the previous and also a mates one. I asked for solid with no weight worries as you dont carry this thing very far anyway and thats what I got.
So in my experience its been good. Seems you get good and bad reports. Nice guy to deal with and did what he said hed do. Hard to beat that..
Especially since I m still waiting for a blimmin price for three hours for a bench grinder in Akl and they have them in stock.. Its like please can I buy one Mister if thats ok with you
I have Saks on .22 Hardy on .308 and .223 and .270 WSM and Gun Works Maximum big arse on AR so have a few to compare and they
are all good. .308 wish I d put a magnum one on as it gets pretty blimmin hot. Heres a pic and before you start I know it looks different so try to behave. It does the job well..
I dont mind it, its on my gun I d change the next one but not now...

Please tell me thats photo shopped???
I live about 30min walk from the Rev. Dealt with him some years ago when he was first looking at making centrefire ones.
I don't use his.
Not happy with the retoric which he uses on his website and he has variable quality.
If he only built crap or only built quality it would be simple to advise you on what to do be he puts out both and thats the prob.
Ordered one of DPTs new modular cans the other week to try. I'll compare it to my usual Greystone and report back after.
Jesus H Christ. That's one big ass suppressor.
Now thats not behaving.. I put up with the comments cos it hits magpies at 180 mtrs plusQuote:

Had one a while ago - had a ring of holes put around the end almost like a muzzle break. I immediately noticed they weren't spaced symmetrically - when i asked to have it shortened (to get rid of the crappy looking holes) He said it couldn't be done. I had my mate cut if off and he informed me that the exit hole wasn't actually centered. Glad i was only shooting a pcp air rifle
I use a Dan Hardy one and I cant speak highly enough of it. Very cost effective, removed a pile of recoil and sound
Dan Hardy on my rifle, is great. Use a $35 Manders on my .22 and you can't hear a thing with subs except the bolt clacking, don't think I'd ever spend any more than that on a 22 supressor...
Big thanks for all the info guys, ive ordered a can from DPT for my centre fire, ive actually got a 'rev rog' on my Ruger 10/22, but as that was the only one ive got i wanted to ask the forum for a more rigorous examination....
so here we are over a year later , , and on his website , he makes admissions to failure and being a tad odd at times , and reading his back story I can see why .... he has bought all new machinery to make his stuff , they look pretty good ..... I want to take the horrendous crack out of my ar as I use it at the range only (for now ) ... I will try one of his to see how good it works ... any one try one recently ?
cheers
Even if he paid me a lot of money to take one I wouldnt.
Please dont encourage him. The sooner he goes away the safer and better off everyone will be.
Yup cant believe theres no regulations for this kind of thing and any old back yard scratcher can sell their wears to the public.
Why the fuck would you buy anything off this spastic when there are other options?
I like the way you always 'cut to the chase' gimp.......:thumbsup:Quote:

Yeah stop glossing it over and tell us what you really think :) :) :)Quote:

Your already missing bits and we just don't want to see you lose any more! Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's just that we care lol
Sums it up perfectly.Quote:

Few of the stainless internals Gunworks going on TM at the moment for cheap. Picked one up for the 6.5 brand spanking for $180. Felt good when it turned up with its $430 price ticket still attached
I'll wade in for the controversy :D
Had 3 RR suppressors.
1 x air rifle. Did the advertised job, was very light weight, sold with air rifle. No complaints.
1 x .22. Did the advertised job, was light weight, sold with the .22. No complaints. Dropped off to him for a clean and paint touch up, no $ charge and took 24 hours.
1 x .223. Still have it. Keeps the noise down, a R700 and a Tika 223 that also shoot with me at the same time with the same ammo. R700 has a bigger, heavier over barrel suppressor (manufacturer unknown) but it is a *touch* quieter than my RR. Tika has a Hardy I believe, *def quieter* than my RR, both are the about same weight. My 223 one gets dropped off once a year, clean and check and returned in 24 hours with no cost. Why ? Because he can, because I want it done, and not necessarily because it needs it (he's on my way to work). Had mine for about 4 years, would prob go through @800+ rounds a year through it on rabbits down south, silhouette shooting and general range shooting.
Your mileage will vary, but I've used a couple of his and they work for me. Have also used Gunworks and DPT - they also work for me and I still own a DPT for one of my rifles.
If you spend more $$ generally you'll get better results. You could use a Manders for a .22 with a rattling spring, from GC. Or make your own with the oil filter trick. What you can do, and what you really should do are 2 different things.
Shot at a bird with my .17. Heard a ting and missed. Oh oh. It went it the creek bout two seconds later... Glad I heard it ... Had heaps rounds through it but ummm no ..
The round had hit at the exit point very slightly and the hole was oval after that. It had not come loose or anything.. Rattled when shaken so was I .
You live (hopefully) and learn . Starting someplace is better than not starting but at least now I know where to ask so you are couple of steps ahead at the beginning !!!
There's lots out there so much better.. Got a few gunworks and DPT now way better..
Bought one for my .223 and it works well, when it falls apart you will hear about it, but until then $ well spent.
ive had a manders unit on my old .22 for 25+yrs now and as far as Im concerned its the fucking bees knees. 1000s of subs through it-quieter than my airrifle and ive even euthanised the kids pets in the backyard with noone the wiser.
.303 &7.62x39share a GC one which involved a few shennanigans but thats another story.
am
Debating to get the .223 outfitted
