I have a dpt can suppressor I brought off trademe for 200 bucks on my ar15 with 11.5 inch barrel. But its still loud as he'll. It definitly works a bit tho It's advertised to take the sound down to a 22 magnum, but is no way near that. My query is, how loud should a suppressed ar15 be?
On an 11.5", you're going to struggle. That is very high muzzle pressure.
I had one on a 14.5" and it worked fine but I thought the pressure was high (but no expert). And dpt said said it shouldn't get too hot which didn't suit for a semi auto, now sits on my single shot, and is great for that.

I'm not sure you can expect too much for $200 from any of these back yard farmers around that think they are 'gunsmiths' to be honest :x_x:

I have one of DPT's over barrel suppressors ($315 one) on my gun shitty 20" AR, Works a treat. can shoot with out ear protection. It gets pretty hot, but then I thrash shit out of it at 3 guns and hunting.Quote:

Seems well constructed for a back yard job if it is so.
Im not sure about such a short barrel but on a 16 inch suppressors work a treat. my supp is a custom jobbie by one of the "back yard farmers" that spanners is talking about.
bout the same if not better than a 18 inch 243 bolt action with a gunworks can on it.
Ive got 2 muzzle breaks from a back yard farmer/gunsmith i mean DPT. They work brilliant, so much so that i wont bother with anyone elses product.
I have a DPT can on my 14.5" AR15, which I'm happy with. Definitely a lot quieter only problem is the noise out the ejection port which is to be expected. Just put a DPT can on my .308 Tikka T3 Tactical, fits and looks great, trying it out Friday. I don't think you can beat them for the price.

The shorter the barrel the loader the bang! I bet a 11.5'' unsuppressed rifle would be absolutely offensive to fire, so I'd be glad to have any suppressor on it to tame it down.

Now that AR's are becoming cheap as chips everyone is fitting suppressors to them, when I designed and tested the suppressors they were on rifles with a lot longer barrels than 11.5" so it is to be expected that a short arse barrel is going to be a lot louder than longer one. I failed to mention that in my adverts. I do have a longer can thats the same price so if you send me your one back we can do a swap. That will bring the sound down a bit more.Quote:

DPT, welcome to the forum, good to have ya here. Looking at one of your mini cans for a bush shorty project, so I'll be talking to ya as soon as the bang stick arrives.Quote:

It's a compromise short barrel you can't expect it to be as quite

Hi DPT. Thats very good of you to want to do that, that kinda service keeps people coming back!! How much longer would the new suppressor be bid?
Bud I mean haha
Hi, Not a problem at all. they are 50mm longer.
Maybe not worded correctly in the context you took itQuote:

The backyard farmer comment was a generalization for the 1/2 dozen or so guys around that 'think' they can make a suppressor because they have a lathe - and more directly actually a dig at a mate of mine who reads here, he has a fetish for making suppressors that go 'pop' - aye M. :D
44.5mm diameter. Hardcoat anodized.Quote:

You can use the 3 baffle version on a 30-06/270 but the sound reduction isnt as good, you could even go down to one baffle, that would make it 83mm long and 93grams.
The 3 baffles version has the same sound reduction as my mini can (shown in picture) and the 5 baffles version has the same sound reduction as my longer can.
They will only be available in anodized black, (picture is of suppressor not yet anodized)
They are 100% aluminium and not designed for rapid fire as the heat and sand blasting effect will wear them out at a faster rate

Thanks for the swap mate, havnt had a chance to shoot through it yet. Should be good! Cheers mate
Nice work DPT. Will only muzzle cans be available or are you looking at over barrel versions too?
Not a problemQuote:

What will the specs be on the over barrel versions?
Hi, I cant confirm that yet but I hope to keep them under 250 grams.Quote:

no barrel isolating tube tho.
works fantasticaly on my ar15.
whatta ya rekin DPT can you beat it? :D
Ofcourse if you remove baffles. Why dont you go to my 223 can suppressor if you want really light weight, you can get it to under 100 grams.
Thanks
this one is easily as quiet as my bolt suppressed 243 with a gunworks, even with the extra noise of the action
it still has the baffels in it obviously.
I kinda need a new suppressor maker now my last one is no longer with us.
If you want really light you are best to go to my 223 modular, at only 142grams. The sound reduction is amazing for the size and weight. ThanksQuote:
