DPT, welcome to the forum, good to have ya here. Looking at one of your mini cans for a bush shorty project, so I'll be talking to ya as soon as the bang stick arrives.

Oh, and re Spanner's opinion, if you look at the post history you'll notice that about 8 out of 10 times it is "xxx is crap, yyy is rubbish, yada, yada, yada"

I failed to mention that in my adverts. I do have a longer can thats the same price so if you send me your one back we can do a swap. That will bring the sound down a bit more.

It's hard line tho as you have a short barrel to be compact you don't want longer than standard can to make it long again.

It's a compromise short barrel you can't expect it to be as quite

Hi, Probably about 6 weeks, once my cnc is free ill do a run of them.
Diameter about 41mm, length will depend on how many modules and weight, You will have to waite and see but I havent seen any in NZ as light, well under 200grams.

Hi DPT. Thats very good of you to want to do that, that kinda service keeps people coming back!! How much longer would the new suppressor be bid?

Bud I mean haha

Hi, Not a problem at all. they are 50mm longer.

Maybe not worded correctly in the context you took it

For $200, I dont think you can expect too much as to not being quiet - you can however get 27-32 dB elsewhere which is very quiet, but you're paying $600 for it. Thus you get what you pay for??

The backyard farmer comment was a generalization for the 1/2 dozen or so guys around that 'think' they can make a suppressor because they have a lathe - and more directly actually a dig at a mate of mine who reads here, he has a fetish for making suppressors that go 'pop' - aye M.

44.5mm diameter. Hardcoat anodized.
The 3 baffle module version shown in the picture is 117mm in total length, 142grams in weight and is designed for 223 / 7.62x39. add two more baffles and its 192grams in weight 151mm long and designed for 243/308/270/30-06.
You can use the 3 baffle version on a 30-06/270 but the sound reduction isnt as good, you could even go down to one baffle, that would make it 83mm long and 93grams.

The 3 baffles version has the same sound reduction as my mini can (shown in picture) and the 5 baffles version has the same sound reduction as my longer can.

They will only be available in anodized black, (picture is of suppressor not yet anodized)

They are 100% aluminium and not designed for rapid fire as the heat and sand blasting effect will wear them out at a faster rate

Thanks for the swap mate, havnt had a chance to shoot through it yet. Should be good! Cheers mate

Nice work DPT. Will only muzzle cans be available or are you looking at over barrel versions too?

Hi, I cant confirm that yet but I hope to keep them under 250 grams.

Thanks
