Thread: Oceania defense suppressors

The quietest suppressor I have is actually a mono core chinese made muz forward one I was given to test by the designer. I have not heard / seen a better one and these were only $90 landed. It is not quite market ready but the pricing gives an idea of what suppressors are really worth. The mono core is actually much quieter than baffles which surprised me. The gas / smoke is trapped very well and is much slower to exit after a shot. I guess what i am trying to explain is that the gas retention is better with this monocore, possibly because it spins the gas to the outside and cycles it back directing gas flows against each other to cancel sound

I have heard, but not seen myself some of the European ones, think it might have been possibly an ASE run on 338 Lapua and sound reduction was incredible. Heavy and expensive though.

One thing to consider about that suppressor is that it's extremely muzzle forward and extremely heavy if I remember right. Many suppressors would be quieter if those 2 parameters where increased. Any suppressor pushing too far past 300grams is getting to the point I'm not interested unless it could literally remove all sound (ie not possible). I think that as long as minimum suppression required is met I would consider length forward, and weight and to a lesser extent durability as the next items of concern.

Just measured and weighed the bastard, 285mm long x 40 x 500 grams. It is a pre production model. The interesting point for me is that the production cost + margin is only $90

If you compare anything made in China its going to be significantly cheaper, there costs/ materials/ labour/ contractors/ etc are far far lower than ours. Look at the price of a Chinese firearm and compare it to something made in Europe.

I wish it would only cost us $90 to produce a centerfire suppressor.

This is right, people try and make overbarrel, but then there is not much gained by behind the barrel. The weight thing is not such a big deal if shoot from a bipod, but trying traditional shooting positions that weight on the end could cause problems with hard to stop rifle wavering all over place.

Missed getting a shot in on some decent reds years ago. Had a heavy barrel Rem 308 with MAE on the end. Thought was good suppressor. Was spring one year and grass was quite long. Spied some deer and had to get into a sitting position to get a shot in above grass, couldn't stop the rifle waving around. Didn't shoot and figured it out when got home. Tried rifle with on, with off.
Balanced nice off, but on just kept fighting it as centre of balance had moved so far out. Changed to a DPT, wasn't as quiet but got balance back.

Got some nice Jacindabucks for the MAE when that opportunity came along.

The other thing people don't consider is that one factor is that actual volume added to the blast chamber by the overbarrel part is quite low as the isolation tube removes that extra volume to fit the barrel and usually its not optimized for volume more so the ability to fit a wide range of barrel contours. Plus having to add a second tube adds weight for little gain. It's a bit of a nessarry evil sometimes but it's not efficient weightwise. Could be more effective it the isolation tube was removes and rear sealed to barrel or if the iso tube size was minimized. The kimbers quite light so even a 300gram suppressor changes the feel alot.

The early Greystone suppressors sealed on the barrel without an isolator. This was a disaster with the CO2 and water vapor forming carbonic acid and literally eating right through a barrel down to the rifling lands.

The full overbarrel suppressor and ported barrel is probably the best option for shortness
With the 285 mm suppressor on the break open gun, overall length is still only what an unsuppressed bolt action is, so I can live with it but totally agree that a shorter one would be better. The gunsmith who designed it and threaded the barrel told me that for subs a long slim suppressor is superior to a shorter fatter one even if the latter has greater capacity.

Any pics? Be cool to have a budget option in nz

I would love to be able to post pics to the forum again but windows 10 has stopped the download camera option and the new phone ( samsung galaxy) wont do it, new tech has disabled everything for me
