Thread: New Hardy suppressors

I have one of dans gen3 supressors on a 6.5x284. Its short (240mm long) and very light. The sound supression is at least as good as his previous model which in my opnion is very good, and i have used nearly every brand in NZ and some from offshore. Its also nicely made like all dans supressors. Lets hope he dosent have any failures with his new design.

Yeah my new gen III replacement Dan can for my 7 WSM turned up yesterday ( minus the rifle hahaha ) & it looks nicely made & well finished

It is 3" shorter than the gen II model it replaced but has a larger diameter


Heres a pic of the new wsm can ( bottom ) 397g & 44.5mm dia, compared to the gen II model off my 308 334g & 41.2mm dia



As Ive said before, I think HRE cans are more suited to hunting than blasting dozens of rounds through em in an afternoon gong shooting & now that it's shorter, it has got me thinking about chopping the barrel back on me WSM, I wonder how short I could go

I'll do a range report once I get my shit sorted

I'm surprised you;re not just going to put it straight on TM after your luck....

Hahaha maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment, but you never know I might flick it Im always changing my mind

I think you mean the new can is 3cm shorter not 3"

I see his website hasn't been updated as it still lists the magnum as 350mm long which yours obviously isn't. I've been trying to get confirmation from him on the length of the standard suppressor but haven't had a reply to my email. Anyone know?

I've been waiting about three weeks for a email reply - I don't think he likes the fiddling around with the smaller jobs.

I spoke to Mr Hardy last week when I saw the guy on trade me saying the new one was 230grms.He said it must have been a typo as they are not that light at all.
Email overload is common these days,if I want an answer Ill pick up the phone.

Easiest way is to ring him

Just weighed the Gen3 i have for the 6.5x284 which i assume is just a standard supressor. It is 240mm long and weighs 330gr.

Dan just got married so probably thinking of the other thing besides guns!

I got one of the new Hardys supplied with one of SSR's tubes in 6.5/06, had 20 rounds through it and its going good.

Due for more rounds tomorrow, will post if any issues develop.

Year I was refering to my old gen II magnum unit, it had an OAL of 15"

Very much doubt Dan tests his suppressors on a 16inch Magnum Barrel. GW's advice will be based on what is safe for a Magnum GW's suppressor. As for having a barrel under 22inch on a 7mm Mag, why waste powder? A 280, with a 22inch barrel and the lighter and shorter GW's suppressor would fit the bill out to 700y and with much less blow, but still plenty of go.

A mate has one on a 7 rem mag thompson centre cut down to 16 inch and goes good as with better than moa out to 500 . he just did it because he could and he has got three other magnums cut down and suppressed as well.they certainly make a nice balanced easy to carry rifle!
