    The Oceania Defence 762 Titanium Alpine Hunter Suppressor is the lightest money can buy at 155g

    What is it you're looking for specifically ? Lightweight at the expense of efficiency and longevity or a balance of them all. I made some cans ages ago as part of a bet 150gm, Aluminium & carbon fibre. I've used them a bit with factory ammo but haven't given them a hard time, haven't compared them to shop suppressors either but when doing homekill none of the deer react for more than a minute or 2 and only if they're beside the one that dropped. If you're interested in trying it out let me know, only one -08 though it's M14x1 thread.

    Looks pretty good but how much money does it take to buy one?

    $995 Bloody good value for the work involved in making it.

    We do a stubby muzzle forward with 3 baffles that is 150 grams, you could run it with only 1 baffle at only 100 grams in weight but the sound reduction is reduced, especially compared to our standard range of suppressors.

    How long is it?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Super easy to make.infact the easiest out of most designs here. The machines that make it are expensive though and so is the r&d that went into it

    Someone should design and build an overbarrel version to reduce the muzzle forward length

    There's quite a bit involved in his design. I got one semi finished. But optimised is a whole lot of more work

    Yeah I can imagine it's not easy.


    We haven't seen any substantial progression in the development of suppressors available in NZ for maybe 10 years now, since the current crop came out. It would be good to see some new and improved products out there - the sintered titanium manufacturing looks like a great way to produce an optimised product
