Certanly a very hot topic on here, never had one myself unless you count the small plastic thing that came on the end of my JW

Well I've just had a prompt e-mail reply from the Hushpro man about his. Cheaper than the Hardy (new model) ones by a good margin, about the same weight and length, and doesn't have the bush at the back to mark the barrel. Anyone know anything about them? He sells them through Hamills and Serious Shooters.

How does the hushpro one align/whatever with the barrel at the rear end?

There's a cut away drawing on the front page. It seems to float for the back 4" like the Schultz and Larsen ones.

I have one of his New 17HMR one coming this week. They are built the same way as his centrefire ones, so can give a good description later in the week.

Got the gorse ready, its just which one to spend it on?

I'll let you know what I think as I'm getting a DanCan this week.
I've got a Gunworks EBS that I'm really happy with, but didn't go back to Gunworks because Robbie was so busy that he didn't have time to talk about this project (I know they must get plenty of time wasters, but....). I'm cutting down a 7mmRemMag to 21 inch and "Gunworks office staff" said that is too short. I'm only planning to shoot this one to 700 yards so think if I can get a 162SST at 2950-3000 f/sec it will get the job done. It's my "Bush Gun", bush hunting but also with plenty of clearings at 500-700 yards.
Dan was good to talk to, but has been alittle slow getting it done, but will see when I get it back this week. Also getting half cock and safety on half cock done.

Yep. Couldn't take the muzzle pressure from 14.5" barrel it seems and a baffle came loose.


However you're never going to get a better product if you keep saying "Well it works well enough for me, I'm not trying anything new or different"

Agreed. What did he have to say about it? PM if you prefer.

I'm waiting for Australian Import permits apparently, and recieving a full refund when I get that and ship the failed can back.


I have had the other one fitted to my .223AI but I haven't tested it yet. The failed one worked really well for the first 15 rounds then halfway through the next mag I noticed something wrong. Clearly had bullet impact at the blast baffle as the tube is slighly bulged and dented out at that point. The metal finish could use some improvement.


I've also got a NZ-made 150mm long 330gm all-stainless centrefire muzzle can to test but :effort:

I've got an old gen greystone, 2 gunworks, my next will probably be one of the new greystone versions. All of these have worked well, no issues. No dealings with Hardy cans but if you were looking at sending your rifle to chch either of the above would serve you well

I agree about being too short - muzzle pressure is going to be through the roof (IIRC Quickload can give you this info pretty accurately?) - recipe for a rifle grenade IMO

We should expect a followup on this ~ Xmas then??

I'm surprised you;re not just going to put it straight on TM after your luck....

Hahaha maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment, but you never know I might flick it Im always changing my mind
