any one running an ASE SL3 or SL5 ? comments ? good bad or otherwise ?
They're heavy but sound reduction is excellent
Was running an SL5 on my AR's till I got an ODL. Same noise reduction for more than half the weight. Keep it in the draw to loan out now.
wow, thats a significant weight difference. How do the AR's react to being suppressed - do they still cycle fine?Quote:

ODL ? tell me more ? price ?
Oceania Defense. NZ made. Titanium. Not Cheap - $850 for my model. But excellent.
Can confirm the ODL cans are the duck's nuts. Ridiculously lightweight and way better sound reduction than any comparable size can I've seen
ASE, Heavey but effective, take a thrashing.
Not sure they're worth the extra over a Waitaki Can.
I've got an Utra Jet-Z and it's awesome

Bang for buck waitaki are good but Iv popped two in certain applications while Iv used several ASE cans and not blown one yet...Quote:

I like people who stand behind their products.
Have an ASE on my. 284 and very happy with it, most people that serenity laugh until they hear it. Sure they are heavy but compared to others (hardy, sorts etc) they are gd to go. Really like mine

I have one on my 243 - tends to be used on mobs of goats - quite a few rounds in just a few minutes
The sound reduction is good, same with withstanding the heat - prefer it to a overbarrel, allows the barrel to cool evenly as well
I've had one for about two months, like mine better than DPT not light but better.

I have one and it's awesome.
The sl5i is the new lighter model, weights 340grams
And being stainless should last a long long time.
Yeah, the new SL5i is nice. I have the older version in 30 cal for my .243 and it's hard to hear any real difference between that and my other suppressors.
It weighs the same as my other can but is very compact. I like it.
They're a good buy if you can't quite stretch to an ODL and don't mind the weight. The Waitaki cans are good value and certainly better than nothing, but noise reduction isn't in the same league as ASE.
ASE SL5 Suppressor 30 Caliber - Specials - Reloaders Supplies Ltd
On sale at the moment along with the SL7. If weight is not a problem...
I think those are the older model - new ones are lighter and have i at the end ie SL5i
Yep. That's correct. But the old ones are cheaper... Hahaha
the bank manger will be happy !
Shot my 260 at local(ish) range again yesterday and had lots more comments on the effectiveness of the ASE.
Most people seem to say it's either the quietest suppressor they've ever heard, or extremely close and considering the length are very impressed.
