    We use Gunworks and are very happy witht heir service and product.

    One piece of advice,though, no matter which one you get: Get whoever you buy the suppressor off to thread the rifle for you. That way if anything goes wrong it all comes back to one company. Otherwise you could end up like one of our unfortunate customers whose suppressor went down range with a bullet. The suppressor maker (All I will say here is it was not Gunworks, MAE or DPT) stated the thread was not straight and this caused the problem, and the person who threaded the rifle said it was a failure in the suppressor that let go rather than an alignment issue. Both refused to fix the others "mistake". Truth be told when we looked at it afterwards, there was no way to say one way of another what caused it.

    If you get the suppressor maker to thread it. Then in the unlikely event that you have an issue, it wont matter. It it will still be their problem to fix. Prices between the various suppressor makers are all very close to $70 for threading so it wont make much of a price difference.
