Thread: Muzzle Forward or OverBarrel

Up front I've no intention of cutting barrel length down, then again wasn't too long ago I'd no intention of ruining any rifles lines with a suppressor but now except for the 9.3 they're all threaded .

I'm getting another suppressor, for the 223, just can;'t convince myself about which would be better
I found an old thread in which various opinions were given but that dates to 2014 I also found the Rod and Rifle suppressor test here
https://www.rodandrifle.co.nz/supressor-test.html
Which was very informative..

I'm a fan of the muzzle forward A-Tec I have on the Finn light but would prefer to buy local this time

I'm not bashing through bush with it.
I just can't see how with highish volume eg maybe 5 shots fairly quickly, how the over barrels jobs won't heat up and therefore take much longer to cool down and cool the barrel
However , I hardly see a muzzle forward can on a rifle shown on this forum so what am I missing, why do folk prefer or seem to prefer the over barrel jobs.
