Mmm at 600 gr I presume you are talking CF?

I had them fit a slim SS to my Marlin 795. It suited that rifle as the rifle had a SS finish plus a 2-7 scope and at 2x the view of the suppressor wasn't too obtrusive.

I'm not sure why Gary M folded but I'm sure there were other factors in play. He had been around for a fair time.

When I went to their factory they were flat out exporting. They wouldn't sell me a suppressor on its own and directed me to Sportways as agents which was a bit of an arse. They would however sell me one if they threaded and fitted it which they did.

I found it to be very efficient. ind you the old PH was as good as any. Would I buy another one of theirs if they were still around - probably for that type of rifle I had but not one of their CF versions.

Incidentally they were very careful to not call their product silencers, a term which was in common use back then. I think this was also due to the UK market sensitivities.

Here's some useless info on suppressors I have -
MAE 22RF SS 205 gr
No Name Alloy POS 60 gr
Hushpro 240 gr
Parker Hale 225 gr
Unique Factory 145 gr

For many years I used the Parker Hale on a 22rf and didn't find weight or length an issue.
