Wanting a suppressor for a 22mag in 1/2x28.
What are peoples preferences?

What about your choice of suppressor though

Fair enough, I've had aimsport, gunworks and hushpro. They were all pretty good. I think the gunworks was the best of the 3 that was on a Remington 597 22lr .

Yeah that's what she said

I'll be trying a DPT for my next rimfire, I like the idea that baffles can be added for increased suppression and the fact it can be disassembled for cleaning.

Gun city’s Hushpower Works best for me

Pretty happy with my DPT. Helps they’re localish n don’t have to worry about mail order forms...

It’s not really a preference to be honest, but it seems to do the job.
I wouldn’t own it personally, but the Ardern suppressor from Labour seems to do the job of keeping the sound of the firearms community to virtually no sound at all....

Unfortunately you do when ordering online etc. You now require a license to own one.

The grade of alloy we use is perfectly fine for that thread, we have sold thousands of center fire suppressors in 1/2-28 without issue.

To own one? In NZ?

Seems kinda a moot point, what possible reason could anyone without a license need to own a suppressor ? Agree the extra paperwork is rediculous

Many centerfire suppressors including Gun City's Hushpower sold in 1/2-28 with alloy threads. Does anyone know if it's an aluminium alloy or some other type of alloy?
Gun City sells its Hushpower 370 Centrefire Silencer 30Cal with thread size of 1/2 x 28 TPI
Their advert states:
"Lightweight design - an alloy body machined out of one solid alloy bar (the dense alloy material is also better for sound reduction than stainless steel).
30Cal- (10mm Hole) will do any non Magnum calibres 6mm through to 8mm. Like 243, 6.5x55, 270, 7mm-08, 308, 8mm. Thread size is 1/2 x 28 TPI..."
