Sheesh,
Firstly @Looseunit i think it will buff out:D, I am sure it will get sorted, i have 3 of his/theirs/dont mention names lol and would go again.
secondly if we are going to "add" things top the front of out guns that were not put there by the gun maker then i would suggest that at some stage 1 or 2 may fail.
Glad everyone is ok and also now i know where looseunit works:thumbsup:

Dog , RE the Reflex T8 cans , they where good cheap cans , and are underated in sound reduction , BUT as they are thin steel , they do rust out & blow out where they have rusted , actually always thought a SS version of the Reflex would be nice , a company in UK did just that , but no longer do them .
Mauser , Oceania Defence will be making a 338LM can soon , but it mounts over the AI Tac brake , which has a spigot section on barrel for clamp , & a 18x1.5mm thread , and will be maybe a bit dearer than the AU SL7 or NOT ?
BT in switzerland make a steel & SS can for 338LM as well .
No update? @Looseunit
not yet , we nor the customer have heard from the manufacturerQuote:

:P
The DPT I've seen fail recently was replaced also immediately upon contact being made, with a newer model
As was the Hardy I no of, even though Dan was in Germany at the time............Quote:

If I was getting a new suppressor I'd be getting SSRNZ one. I stopped in there today and had a look at them, they're similar to the DPT ones but even better. They have a stainless insert in every baffle, right where the DPT ones get eaten away. Quite light too.
I use scotts suppressors here and very pleased with themQuote:

Extremely well made.
Slightly quieter than Gabe Ziglianis suppressors from highcountrysport.co.nz, which used to be the quietest availiable in NZ.
How heavy are they and how much do they cost?
Check out his website at ssrnz.co.nz and send him an email, you may want to get other work done at the same timeQuote:

Very good service:)
Maybe the op just approached it wrong?

Maybe he thought you would send it to Greg Duley ?
Why?Quote:

For a scathing report.
Na he wouldn't care, doesn't make suppressors does he?
Oh some people should go hunting more.Quote:

On inspection it appeared as thow the glue was coming apart in front of the isolator?
I'm not sure but when I here for certain I'll let you no:)

Glue!?
Loctite at a guess
My very scientific opinion was glue:)Quote:

I'm told I'll get a report so I'll let you no as I said.

What color was the glue Brads? I'm getting some white sticky stuff on my bolt head and cases. Supressor and rifle seem to be OK though.

My scientific opinion wasn't far out.Quote:

Press fit I believe and yip pretty much glue
I have 3 of these cans so appreciate the photo. For me it also highlights proper use. It concerns me that this a was a new can that failed as I use one on a short barreled 7mm WSM with high muzzle pressure.
One trap the manufacturers fall into is that by not identifying recommended use and or expected life they have kind of assumed a life time warranty. I went to great lengths to define the intended use and calculated muzzle pressure for my WSM. Dan then made modifications to handle the job. In spite of that knowledge I'm now a little weary which is a good thing. I won’t beat it goat shooting and as it shoots perfectly I'll save it for bush hunting.
The 6 x 47 is a god sent for snap shooting without the added hassle of earmuffs but I think I'll back away from using a suppressor on anything else regardless of the brand.
Thanks for the photo Jason.
Well I won't be buying any of that hornady ammo if it does that to ya can. Or was it a crap rifle? ( sorry, couldn't resist.):thumbsup:
It's possible the loctite type product had not adhered in the presence of anodising, it can take a very special heptane base accelerator/prep solution to enable some loctite products to adhere with full strength to anodising.Quote:

I'm interested to know why the original can failed, would someone mind recapping please? Eyes glazed over reading the arguments
Fuck me. There is some fucking bullshit on this thread. Who gives a flying fuck who made the can. I have no idea who the manufacture is, or care.
I've got two or three *maybe more) here that have failed for various reasons by more than one manufacturer. Whooptedo.
But some of the precious comments, well fuck me. Go stroke it a few more times.
And for all you lovers of cans, a-tec are shit as far as I'm concerned as well. And that's what I have at the moment.
You want light as fuck and alloy it will fail, cause that's what light alloy does.
