Thread: Gunworks Suppressors ?

Here's my 2c...

I've owned all 3x size gunworks suppressors, currently only got the 35mm overbarrel and 50mm muzzle forward. You shouldn't be able to go wrong with any of them but even the 50mm can will not make the 6.5x55 subsonic quiet and real world difference might not be as much as you'd think. I'll try to give some feedback on each of them. I'll through in some pics for some size reference.

Weirdly the biggest can is on the smallest calibre, a 204 ruger (This was not my doing - bought it 2nd hand).

Goes really well but this is a large can - not sure I'd want to be carrying it up and down hills compared to the 35mm version below.
I have another 204 ruger with a MAE can on it which is a lot smaller and the real world sound difference is not nearly as much as you'd think based on the size difference of the 2.

On the plus side the weight difference is only about 100gr with the maximus coming in around 400gr and the MAE around 300gr.

The next one is a 41mm on a Rem Tac 223 I no longer have - sorry pic is not really of the suppressor but you'll get the idea.

I liked this size a bit better than the 50mm for varminting and just to handle/carry in general. I think the overbarrel option is better as well just to balance things out a bit more and it doesn't get stuck/snagged on things as bad.

Last is my 7m-08 with the 35mm option.

I know this is the smallest can on the largest calibre but here me out.

The reason for this is simple. I go out and can put 20+ rounds through the last to rifles so I want as much suppression as I can get for ear protection, follow up shots on other critters in the same area and I want as much recoil reduced as possible to watch impacts so the larger cans make sense. These larger cans are not so bad to carry around the flat were I do most of my shooting.

However the 7mm08 normally only ever gets the 1x round put down it so the level of suppression is not as important. The 35mm have enough so it's not to bad on the ears and reduces a decent amount of recoil to make it very pleasant to shoot. It comes in @ 350gr so it's lighter and better balanced than the 50mm version and the diameter is similar to the stock so it much better carry up and down hills.

So I guess what I'm saying is it depends on what you are using it for. Personally I see absolutely no need for the 50mm can on something you carry around the hills, the 35 and 41mm options are much better in my eyes and you shouldn't go wrong with either - and definitely go overbarrel. Good luck!!
