Thread: Hight Value(cheap) Suppressors

If you are not worried about weight and want solid quality build with top sound suppression I would recommend MAE stainless, they are very good.
When putting suppressors on rifles if you are going to be doing a lot of shooting from standing or other unsupported positions the balance of your rifle needs to be taken into consideration as well. I changed from my MAE to a DPT for this very reason as it brought the balance of my rifle(.308) back for quick standing or sitting shots. If I was shooting off a bipod or pack longer range all the time would have kept the MAE on.
Darren DPT readily told me to suppress the DPT(standard) up to the MAE I would need to add probably 2 more baffles to standard. Maybe try at some stage but quite happy at the moment as rifle shoulders perfectly.
Think this speaks highly of Darren(DPT), as I think all these different suppressor manufacturers offer different things it depends what you are after, its a bit apple and oranges sometimes rather than making direct comparisons. These small kiwi companies making them all seem keen to improve all the time and they appear to be doing so.
I would love to try an Oceania on my AR as they do look like the Porsche of suppressors, but my $199 DPT forward mini works fine.
My 30 cal MAE is parked and will eventually find a home on a shortest possible barrel 300AAC either AR or bolt gun where it will be superb.
Seen quite a few gunworks and they seem to go well but my personal preference is for the DPT design rather than run right back and option to add more baffles or reduce as you wish to suit.
Would be keen to hear how these Silenz ones go as like the idea of the brake/suppressor. Could it possibly also further utilize back part of can, as my understanding most of the work is done in the front, past muzzle bit? Weight does look like getting back up there again though, (cake and eat it scenario again....)

I am also interested in when people are swapping suppressors between calibres are they just doing the obvious and have same thread types? Or are they using some sort of thread adapters as going from small calibres to larger a gunsmith would normally use a different thread? Or would it not be in suppressor manufactures interests to encourage this as would reduce sales?
