    For the price of a DPT I think i'll just shoot the crap out of mine and then replace it. The suppressor should outlast a couple of barrels on my .243 and hence I treat mine like a disposable item.

    Yep. Exactly right.

    I wanted a quieter version for my .243 and not bothered by the extra weight.
    Pleasantly surprised with the size and weight.

    Scott will do a muzzle-forward version on request. It is still a little bit heavier than the DPT muzzle-forward mainly due to a heavier wall thickness in the primary chamber and a small increase in weight over the DPT per baffle. I've migrated over to a MF SSRNZ from a DPT on the bush rifle to support local innovation, but also dropped a baffle out. I like it.
    SSRNZ are all aluminium other than the inserts mentioned earlier. The weight of the over-barrel comes down to the design and material thicknesses used. I found it better balanced on an intentionally heavier weapon.

    Same diameter though and comes back over the barrel further with a bit more forward of the muzzle.


    Weighs 200 gram more but I'll take that for stainless.

    Hi, I'm interested in upgrading my suppressor. Have you fired these two together? If so any differance in noise reduction? Thanks, Rich
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    One is on the 223 and the other is .243 so there is s noise difference.

    I will say that when they're fired from a hill top with no surrounds they're very quiet.
    Will you be making strings of shots?
