Here is the first independent test of one of our cans. It is the first production model 556-45 and was metered by a manufacturer in Canada.

Rifle: 14.5" M4
Ammo: American Eagle 62gr
Sound Meter: B&K 2209 / 4136 mic
Test Protocol consistent with Mil Std 1474D as described by Phil Dater and Al Paulson. (Silencer History and Performance Vol 1, pg 85)

Raw Data: 140.1, 135.8, 137.0, 135.0, 136.7, 137.2, 136.4, 136.0, 138.3, 136.7

Avg SPL: 136.9 dB (hearing safe is 140 dB)
FRP: +4.3 dB

Thanks for sending it to me, it is a very neat piece. I applaud your willingness to let the data be public. Too many designers won't share real data or try to cover up or obfuscate data that isn't great. You have done a good job with a very short can. For comparison sake I looked up my data on the BR Tuote Reflex Suppressors and yours did virtually the same SPL as those, which are def longer than yours.

Here is the link to the thread. You will have to log in.

What was the dB without the can?

Also, how are your QD cans coming along?

About 165.

I will post a pic of the QD mounts as soon as they are available. It has been pushed back to meet other more urgent design projects.

So almost 30dB suppression? That is pretty good.

I have a good db meter at work and have done some testing on rimfire - the results are interesting as design is more important that size also a few drops of oil can make a 5-6 db change

Drool. Can't wait for mine

the BL mount is in it, in that photo. I'll put up some pics whenever I'm home next and it's all on the gun etc

hefty little fucker, might have to sell it for an ODL if he ever gets the QD model on the market and it's cool

Yeah makes sense on second inspection. Who did that end up coming through? Uk or spanners?

Any further progress? Would like to shed some weight from my general muzzle area.

I find removing my foot helps.
