    Kaimai Rifle. anybody had one?

    Thinking about getting Kaimai rifle built by Glen Maisey, in saying that I would request that the barrel is longer than 16 inches. Still has anyone had one and if so, what was your opinion..

    If you’re asking if anyone has a short barreled rifle with a suppressor, lots of people have them. That one just has a custom twist and brand name.
    To go down that route you commit to the entire bundle, or you could just pick and choose the different components yourself for a more customised end product.

    Havnt owned one but did consider it a while back. It is just a short barrelled tikka with a fast twist optimized for shooting subsonics. If that's your thing it might be a good option.

    As for quality Dean Massey is up there with the best from what I hear.

    Deans work is very good man. Lots of guys on here using a custom built by him, myself included.

    Do you want to shoot subs?

    Dean did the gunsmithing on my 300nm Alpine Precision organised for me a few years ago.
    It was flawlesd from the day I recieved it till the day I sold it for something else
    Unlike my previous experiences with our local guy

    No not at all, wanted him to build me a custom 308 with a shortish barrel, he suggested the Kaimai rifle as it's cheaper ( also want to focus on heavy pills) I do have a potential T3X donor. though I don't want a 16 inch barrel was more thinking 19-20. perhaps that could be done.

    3 full customs from Deane as @mikee has said flawless a lot of guys seem to fall short on making sure they actually feed or chambering to the dummy round provided all tack drivers I also have one of his kaimai cans very nice .

    Wasn’t Dean the one that created a fake account on the FishnHunt forum to try and spread invented stories of DPT cans blowing up?

    Not a clue maybe? His work certainly does the walking/talking more so than his mouth his suppressors are very well made
