what there overbarrels weight?

The overbarrel on my T3 is the 350mm long version weighing around 650 grams on the kitchen scales, they also make a shorter version 300mm long not sure of the weight.

650g is a club not a suppressor........

Does it come with wheels?

My Santa Fe will tow it if they have a draw bar....


Being serious, my maximus is 670g, but its 50mm round and hanging on a 4kg varming rifle, weight is not an issue.

I agree about weight not being a issue when my kids shooting the rifle I want something safe screwed on the end. Makes me wonder how these hunters who complain about the extra weight of a stainless suppressor as opposed to an alloy one manage to carry the meat or head out after shooting an animal.

2 stainless steel suppressors, and 2 logs you can make yaself a Flintstones car and drive out.

Different people hunt and shoot in diferent ways.Some go hard and high for days where 650gms actually matters and some shoot from the back of a ute.I know its hard to believe but some even shoot standing up as our forfathers did and 650grms on the end of a light rifle is just arse.
And it's a T3 Light you use?

I agree Sneeze different people hunt in different ways, but if 650 grams "actually mattered" you wouldn't have a suppressor on your rifle when you go high so how doe's that relate to my statement about stainless vs alloy.
And by the way you need to harden up if u can't hold up 650 grams on the end of a T3 taking a standing freehand shot not that I could hold it up like that for half an hour but for a snap shot no problem weight helps keep steady and for 1300 dollars what flavour rifle would you buy new that is as reliable, accurate, ss synthetic workhorse the lite part was just the way it came, the rifle + suppressor weighs approx the same as my old parker & hale 270 I use to hunt with.

OK Ill put it this way, you have a T3 and a 650grm suppressor and your happy,thats cool.But that dosnt mean everyone else has to settle for the same. Industry is market driven, if we just accept whats on offer thats what we will get, if people push for a better lighter product then in time it will come and the bennefits of a suppressed rifle can be enjoyed by those that are weight concious as well.
You are right about a bit of weight making offhand shooing easier but my comment about 650grms on a T3 wasnt directed at the over all weight it is the balance thats arse,if you had met me you would realize that I have no trouble holding a rifle with a little heft.And hardening up is what you do when you cant find a better way.

yes, they come in black

Fuck the lighter product. Will the fucking thing be in one piece when it goes flying?

These are good cans that handle some shit.
