i hate both.. If I have one its for a very genuine reason!!

I have a Hardy magnum 338 can for sale.
Fired bugger all rounds and comes pre bulged ready for take off.

So start a thread on it

Gunworks Maximus do a great job.

Ok think my turn to churn in on here - All my rifles are suppressed including my long range precision one. All have used a Gunworks one of some description - My heavy weight long range is running a Maximus. It's stumpy, fat & very quiet - I'm very happy with my choice. A few friends run HRE suppressors - which to be fair look (externally) better engineered but problems have also been experienced on one with pin holes etc due to very thin side walls. I think HRE have great products just think in the race for the lightest weight are sitting right on the edge of a happy weight / durability compromise. I've also a Roedale Delta suppressor on order that might arrive this century thats destined for my Kimber montana

Very nice choice of words

Ive had a gunworks pinhole on a 223. Robbie fixed it without question as dan would im sure.

Yes to Dans credit the problem was sorted quickly & new suppressor supplied. Probably the once bitten twice shy scenario in this case especially as weve have an excellent run with Gunworks items with no problems experienced. The HRE looks & performs great & I guess when your trying to be the innovator in the industry shit happens sometimes

Of the several NZ manufactured suppressors I personally own/have owned, HRE's have been the best by quite some margin.

In saying that, there are some horror stories out there about them. Some even from sources I actually trust. But the same could be said of all the local brands.

I have a Roedale on the way which will be my first muzzle forward can for a centre fire so that should be interesting.

Dan didnt give 2 fucks about my one - its bent, out of round and bulged.
Might do ok work, but customer service when there is an issue is next to zero.
Going to video and monitor via measuring until she goes pop, then its youtube time!

I got a new trigger installed a while back and whenever I disengaged the safety it went off. He seemed really pissed off when I brought it back. No sorry or nothing.
