2 questions I guess.

My alock is so tight I've had to break it free with the vice before ive got to the point i lather it liberally in silver antisieze. Are you sure your adapter didn't loosen? Guess if just the suppressor launched it has to be the alock.

On POI are you sure your rifles as accurate as you think/does your scope actually hold zero. I had shifting zeros with a VX3i and managed to track it down to it not liking vibrations when being behind the seat. And also unless you have down a high round composite group "shifting zero" is often just the real accuracy of a rifle being observed over a larger sample size (assuming your meaning 0.25-0.5 moa shifts) gimp threads are a decent example of this. When I sighted in prior to the Shoot a few weeks ago if I'd zeroed of the forst 5 I'd have been high 0.2mils and left 0.2 mils at 10 shots with 1 "flyer" I'd have been high 0.2 and left 0.1. That's the most extreme I've seen it with 10 I don't think most people's rifles cone of fire is as good as they think (not that it really matters in most cases)

You can't really compare the dpt two the atec there on completely different levels of product quality and sound suppresson.
Both have there supporters

We should perhaps create a new thread, it's not really an A-tec discussion. "My alock is so tight I've had to break it free with the vice before" how does that work? the alock is inside the suppressor quite deep how do you get a vice in there? or do you mean you had to secure your suppressor in a vice to unscrew the barrel?

It happened few years ago during second session at the range. I got it tight during first session but then it came loose on the barrel and got stuck in the suppressor. I had to use red loctite on the barrel muzzle thread, wait for it to dry to then manage to get the aloc free in the can. Then second session I didn't torqued it has hard to not repeat the experience, fired quite a few round this day without checking the can and boom.

Group impact shifting depending the torque applied on the aloc 100%. I'm not the first having reported that. Aloc been now secured inside with Loctite 638 and all good.

I'll pm you. But Mines muzzle forward and and I hold the suppressor in the vice and turn the rifle. My alock adapters loctited on to my muzzle.

EDIT:Actually maybe a new threads a good idea as I've heard the ALock thing a few times but without context and now I think I'll give it a test with a few 25 round groups.

Ha yep make sens with muzzle forward. Would be less concern with muzzle forward as you can crank it and do what you have been doing if it get stuck. It just annoying when it get stuck on an over barrel model

So I've heard...I might have to dig deep.

It’s just not a fair comparison, not the same volume the Atec h2 is massive, doesnt go over barrel has much ect. The dpt offer a much more compact option and still offer enough hear protection. I like them both a lot just for different rifle and application.

Also one thing to remember with the brake end cap on any suppressor what’s left of the blast is deflected sideway like a brake which is why it does increase slightly the noise for the shooter. For the animal however I bet they are quieter than a can without brake cap and make it even harder for them to know which direction noise coming from.

To end the thread derailment I started a new thread.
