dpt is the best, light, decent sound suppression, adjustable lenght and awesome price. anyone who stripped the threads must have been very heavy handed

by the way most suppressors are alloy including my gunworks one

not the internal thread

Maximus at a length of 17.8cm and roughly 3k rds of carbon build up weighs 440 grams. (thats a stainless steel one)
Spartan at a length of 34cm and roughly 600 rds of carbon build up weighs 360 grams.

The sound reduction has been good but I found the tighter groups, less recoil and less muzzle rise to be the most beneficial

robbie did say not to pull it apart,

Im very pleased with my DPT on my 308, very light. You can add or remove modules to suit your needs. Yes its Ali but for my boltie its been great. Very quiet with subs and takes away alot of the bang with full power loads.
Happy DPT user here.

What caused the thread to strip? Was it a muzzle forward suppressor? Just like any threads if your not careful screwing them on and cross thread it.....

The new gunworks suppressor, Hardy and a few other brands are alloy where the rifle threads on. This is the first suppressor I have heard to strip the thread.

I run a DPT overbarrel on my .308 and am very happy with it

over barrel

Got a Hardy Gen 4 on my 308. Went for it due to it only extending 8cm forward of the muzzle. 12cm back over the barrel and 290 grams all up.

Cut the barrel to 20 inches and the suppressor basically just takes it back to standard length. One day I might cut it down to 16 for a real small toy.

It's great - about 300-400 rounds through it, no issues at all.

My first range of over barrel suppressors had an aluminium muzzle brake and stainless baffles, 2.5 years ago I changed to a slightly different model that was all stainless internals, 1 year ago I released the modular suppressors that are 100% aluminium, a very strong grade of aluminium.

I assume your friend has one of the first models...
He should have got hold of me with any issues so I could identify what the problem was.

Forced onto a rifle with a different thread to the suppressor maybe?

I suspect something like that.

you can say what you like rifle was thread for that suppressor by a gunsmith that has been smithing a lot longer than you

Threads don't strip for fun
