    As long as a suppressor meets the basic requirements of reasonably close to hearing safe and is robust enough for the calibre chosen, then the most critical specification I look at is weight. That is why we recommend ODL and DPT to all our customers. Nothing worse than a heavy chunk of metal hanging off the end of your barrel when something half the weight does the same job.

    @DPT what are you using on the threads of your modular suppressors to ensure that they don't seize up?

    This thread is very useful to me as I am about to put a suppressor on my new AR.

    Is there a AR model DPT suppressor that has steel baffles? I have seen it mentioned on the forum but can't find it on the web site. Also how many rounds\years is it warrentied for.
    Silenz looks like a good design but it's not warrantied for semi autos and even for bolts it's only a two year warrenty.
    Gunworks isn't a bad option. Steel baffles and the smallest AR overbarrel suppressor is only 300g which is close to the DPT alloy baffle overbarrel weight. Gunworks also has a lifetime warranty.
    Waitaki engineering is a good option but I want a overbarrel model and their overbarrels are heavy.

    Any thin grease would be fine, the anodized thread of the suppressor is a different material than the barrel thread so its not likely to seize up.

    We don't do a specific ar model anymore but have fitted plenty of my lightweight modular suppressors to ar's, as-long as you keep it under 60rounds an hour it will handle it fine. If you are planing on going hard out with the rifle id suggest something like MAE.
    The suppressor has a limited lifetime warranty, that covers the suppressor for premature failure, but the baffles do wear and are not covered under the lifetime warranty, as they are really a consumable item. Ofcourse if they are to wear out in only a few hundred rounds then you should bring it back to us, the first baffle that takes most of the blast should last around 2000rounds, they are only $45 to replace.

    The thing is every other full aluminum suppressor will wear out on the inside just you cant pull most of them apart to see whats going on, and there are very few NZ manufactures that give a lifetime warranty like DPT and Gunworks do.

    Correction, you mean 'limited lifetime warranty', right? Any suppressor that fails prematurely would be covered by consumer guarntees act, regardless of warranty term. But no guarantee of durability or supression performance?? So what does limited lifetime warranty mean? 200 shots in 10 years, or 1 year, or whatever comes first? Or once you wear out a baffle its dead??

    If it is ODL, there is not much of a secret here Maca :-)

    Well yes any suppressor is covered by the CGA, but that only covers the suppressor for a "reasonable" life length, what is a reasonable life length for a lightweight suppressor? it comes down to many things if argued in court. If you buy one of our suppressors from us or one of our retailers and it fails (aslong as you don't cause the fail) then we will replace it. Im not sure how we can guarantee suppression performance? ours are not the quietest in NZ and we never make them out to be, they are a light weight hunting suppressor, but we do have the option of adding more baffles to make them quieter if needed, A 800 gram suppressor from MAE is going to be quieter than our 260gram suppressor.

    And yes sorry I should have said limited lifetime warranty on the bottom line of my last post.
