MAE Ar Suppressor ?

Going to suppress my CMMG for hunting, pest control and maybe the odd 3 gun if i can be bothered finishing B cat.
Started looking at the Waitaki and liked what I saw, but when compared to a DPT noise wise the DPT won. Have been in contact with DTP and thoughts that their cans might be too light for what I am going to do.
Found this MAE model that doesn't look half bad.
Has to be muzzle forward due to hand guard and barrel taper. And don't want to be spending too much
Anybody had any experience with them?

The 224 ST has been developed for the recreational or commercial shooter where high output and or exposure to harsh environments are a daily occurrence. This model will fit on even the shortest barrel lengths with only a minimum of 0.59" (15mm) barre

MAE stuff is generally solid as, well made but heavier than some of the alternatives.

Thats my impression. now that a lot of members have ARs I'm still to hear of someone using them. Hense my hesitation.

How do your like your CMMG?

Really like it. Lightweight and streamlined. Put 20 rounds in a 1.5" circle in no time at all. I think it is probably best value for money in terms of AR atm. But i may be slightly bias ;)

Yeh that is what has always put me off them. But this model is only 350g for a full steel construction. It is the same size as a DPT can which uses alloy with steel baffles, and the same weight. So it is looking good if it is comparable size weight wise but can also take a beating. How do you find yours for noise reduction

Mk4 RCE with the 16" barrel? Is that a chrome moly or a stainless barrel?

Yep thats the one. Stainless i believe

Cheers :)

I've got a MAE on my DPMS 308 and while not the lightest it is very well built and the noise reduction is very good in my opinion.

Its sounding better and better. Might have to make the jump. And for $250 I'm sure i can't go too wrong

I have a couple muzzle forward models , very impressed at the quality and cost , they are not light , if thats your main concern , but are 100% stainless steel , I have 2 on a couple of 308s they cost $230 each , and a 22mag model on my 22hornet $190 , alot of bang for your buck , I like them alot .

Cheers Chris. I probably should have updated this thread a day or two ago. my MAE suppressor arrived and am really pleased with it. Incredibly slim and not too long (20cm). Weight is comparable with DPT, Hardy etc at 330g. you can tell it is build like a tank and fit and finish is fantastic. Also customer service from Gary at MAE has got to be the best experience I have ever had. I did not like MAE before this as i always thought they produced long, heavy clubs rather than suppressors, but this has changed my opinion. Hope the sound suppression is as good as the service and quality. Will post a pic or vid when i can get around to it

Yeap , Gary is very good , if some one is interested in getting a MAE can , just call them on the phone , and they will get you sorted out , very good service .
They have a website , but no online ordering , so just call them .

Pics? Have you shot it yet? Keen to hear what you think.....

Plan to tomorrow/today. (Thursday) Ill let u know. ill even see if i can do a vid comparing noise, but with the range booths being small and concrete lined I'm not sure how it will work.

Ok. So took the rifle to the range today and put together a little vid. Really like the suppressor. Its overall length and weight are comparable to other brands, yet this is full steel so it can take a beating. 205mm long and 340g. Great little unit. The diameter is the really impressive part, only 31.8mm. This is small enough to fit under even slim/low profile hand guards. Rifle needs an adjustable gas block as it is now well ad truly over gassed. Something to note when watching the video, the unsuppressed shots actually sound quieter in the video due to the mic cutting out and the booth forcing noise away, yet the suppressed shots actually sound louder than they do in real life. You can still tell the difference tho.

How have you found the MAE suppressor ?

Awesome. MAE has a rep of being heavy but not the case with this one. Never concerned about taking multiple shots and it takes a hiding. Good value for money and would be quieter than both a Hardy and DPT on a similar set up.

I have a MAE suppressor on my 9mm AR , works a treat ! :thumbsup:

I'm running the same suppressor on my 223 Rem700. (224 ST) Used it to replace my DPT can, which was really good, just not best suited to the frequency of shots I was putting down the barrel when chasing rabbits and roos. DPT would have been approaching 2k rounds with nil care, frequently got it too hot to touch (along with the barrel) but still performed well. Gave it away to my brother who probably hasn't even used it yet..

I really like the slimness of the MAE, weight is fine at ~350g.

Volume wise, admittedly compared to a DPT that may have been approaching end of life, it was definitely a good bit quieter. Also compared to a few various other cans on different rifles, probably the quietest 223 can I've heard.

Very good value/performance/weight/lifetime balance.


Hardly fired a shot this year.. this is just making me miss it even more.. :oh noes:

Thanks for the reply.

Based on the positive feed back on MAE Visited the guys at MAE yesterday, had a good chat about options and AR's

So have new Compact T on order.

I went for the Compact T as I'm running a 18 barrel and want to reduce the overall length and have a Aero Precision M4E1 hand guard so the 38mm dia suppressor will fit under the hand guard.

Bet you'll be well pleased mate, a new compact is being made for me, and my LEM-A10 for the .300 Blaser Magnum has been finished and about to be test fired with the rifle. MAE are the goods in my opinion, Gary and Jeff know there stuff and will bend over backwards to help anyone out.
