    Have any of you guys had alloy suppressors fail and if so then how many rounds have they lasted before failing?
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    Not personally, but I've been running hunting teams for the past 8 years so I see a lot of hunters come and go and they all fire thousands of shots per year. I've witnessed 2 suppressor failures in the last 2 years and both failed in the muzzle brake area with the side wall of the main tube blowing out!

    I've bent 2 barrels in the bad old days of can suppressors by falling on the rifle. The bending moment on the end thread is massive and it fucks em real fast! I have also had issues with cans unscrewing and shooting the baffles/end caps out of two can suppressors myself...so I will never put a can type suppressor on one of my rifles ever again.
