    Everyone who makes them seem to give good service.
    Would be interested to hear their deficiencies , and or what hunters want?

    It does seem though that everyone has good stories about the service and product they go with whatever the company.

    They are long & heavy, when compared to other products.

    And with the worst level of noise suppression.

    Customer service has to be great when the product isnt that flash.

    Also, don't get an A-tec. Unless you want to buy my one in which case you should definitely buy an A-tec.

    Which do you have and why don't you like it? The CMM4 seems to work well.

    Thanks for the reply, many seemed willing to discount a supplier without saying why. I am deployed at present and have got a couple of gunworks suppressors based upon recommendations on forums such as this, I received very good customer service but am yet to get back and play with the result. Also since first suppressor it will be difficult to assess trelative weight and length....

    Many factors when you choose something I guess. For me price is one and at $300 the Gunworks spartan is probably the cheapest. It might be a bit longer forward of the muzzle than some others but by what? 50mm at worst? Diameter at 35mm is smaller than most of the others I have seen and this is just as important as length I reckon. Noise suppression is adequate and really this sort of thing is a binary decision for me - it is either acceptable/unacceptable - you can chase your tail for ever looking for the latest greatest whatever. And it doesn't hurt that Gunworks is a 10 - 15min down the road from me ...

    Everything is a compromise

    A gent at the range on sat had and SSR job on a 243, he had an issue with one that the internal thread broke away causing baffle strikes. I think he said this one was the replacement.
    I didnt risk taking off the muffs as there were too many shooters, but all I could hear was a FFFFFFFfffffft! sound, he didnt stick around to chck it out more but it seemed pretty quiet.
    Got a gunworks dualium on my 308 myself. they make them an inch? longer than when I got mine now I think.

    I recently tossed up ball the suppressor options and went with the DPT modular one in the end and I'm absolutely wrapped with it! Even my father who has a 4th gen hardy suppressor us jealous and it cost half the price. You also have the option of adding more modules to further reduce sound if you don't mind adding to the length and I think they are about the lightest available? Highly recommend
