I was just going to MAE’s website to look to see if they do bolt fluting and thought I would browse suppressors whilst I was at it. I have been planning to get a MAE 6-30 ST soon for my Howa 6.5CM build. I can’t see anything suppressor related on their website and searches come back empty.
Have they got out of the suppressor/firearms industry? I sent them an email but interested to see if others have heard anything?
I got my MAE from Grant at tactical imports, try him
Pretty sure MAE are only selling through dealers. Last time I called in to the workshop off Wairau Road, they were flat out doing export orders, that was several years ago.
MAE were in East Tamaki for 15 plus years, now in Whitianga.Quote:

@Oli1102 I have a MAE Suppressor here that might be of interest to you. It's one of their overbarrel versions and was fitted to my .243 with a 1/2"x20 thread, however I sold that rifle and the suppressor is sitting here waiting to be sold. Just haven't gotten around to listing it. PM me if you're interested.
I was looking the other day look in the,menu its hidden in there ive got 2 of their suppressors and they are good a bit heavy if your a snowflake
Yeah, my one MAE can was designed as a .22 Rimfire can with a 1/2x28 thread, but MAE stated it can be used on a .222 or .223 centrefire with a 20" barrel. Built tough!
(at the back of pic).
You can also use it for beating the possums or deer to death if you run out of ammo. :D

Shit I cant recall his sirname
There were a couple of outfits over there... one of them is owned by a guy Dale Wilkins. Was it this one? He built many of the piers on the waterways and put in most of the piles to support them.Quote:

They are only selling suppressors compatible with A-Cat firearms which totally makes sense given the current legal climate. How you determine a suppressor for a semi-centrefire compared to a bolt action though I am yet to work out.
There were models rated for semi auto and I think full auto fire.Quote:

Oh right! That makes sense!
Okay, Steve B and Steve O had H Dutton and Co on Porana Road in the early 90’s before they became Truflite.Quote:

That was the last place I saw him, would have been just after I bought my R93 300 WM in 2001, he sold me a SS over barrel can which I still use.
