Thread: Suppressor choices

I'm looking for a lightweight suppressor for my Sako 223, and am very interested in what you guys consider to be the best for your purposes.

Uber lightness?, or reduced flame cutting with stainless inserts like the Maxim, or super quiet regardless of weight like MAE offerings?

This model caught my attention....

ASE Ultra SL5 (pic nicked from interweb)







(details nicked from another website)

We´ve been working for the past year on our S series suppressors.

The end result is a lightened variant of the S series S5 suppressor called the SL5.

The main difference is the significant reduction in weight from c. 600g ( 21.15 oz) to about 390-420g ( 13.75 - 14.8 oz )

Technical specifications:

Calibres
- .223 ( all .22 centrefire cartridges )
- .25 ( 6mm calibres, .243 Win, 6.5x55 etc. max bullet diameter 6.7mm )
. 30 ( all .30 calibre, non-magnum calibres )

Diameter: 44.5mm ( 1.75" )
Added length: 98 mm ( 3.85" )
Weight: 390 - 420 g ( 13.75 - 14.8 oz, dependant on thread piece )
Net sound suppression: 24-27 dB ( A-peak )
Material: 300 series stainless steel, fully welded

In addition to the thread mounting version, the SL5 is available as the fast attaching SL5-BL variant for 7.62mm bolt action and semi auto sniper weapons, either with a flashhider or muzzle brake mount.

To our knowledge, the SL5 is the worlds smallest and lightest steel made suppressor, that is hearing safe.

Currently in final product testing are SL7 models in .30 and .338 LM calibres.

Take Care!

maybe
192 gram on 30 06

390-420 isnt much to get excited about
end can types arnt much to get excited about unless they are really light

Id look to dpt for a suitable and better replacment than that

My over barrel suppresser for my ar15 is great for sound suppression and is 190 grams. part of the weight savings is due to the lack of isolating tube, not dpt tho and you cant get one like it

Wheeeew nice.

If you aren't shooting tons through it at a time the New DPT as madjon has just said
I've got one, goes nicely. Adds 150mm to the length. Easy to break down to clean.
There's a thread on them elsewhere here.

I have a Reflex T8 on my Sako 75 .223.
Its bit of an overkill, but at least I know it won't bulge etc.
As Barefoot mentions, unless you are doing rapid fire (unlikely in a bolt action), you can go a lighter alloy model.

Keep the ASE for an AR or similar, as the ASE's are built bullet proof for use in a semi auto.

What about those printed ti ones.
Was a thread on here. Digit maybe?

Those DPT Modular cans are nice.

The A TEC are a nice can for light weight work. A good heavy can helps a lot for offhand shooting

Oceania Defence Samson Titanium Suppressor fitted to a 12.5" NEA. Overall length of this gun is less than the standard 14.5". The colour is a very close match to the current NEA Receivers. It weighs next to nothing.

Dan over barrel only80mm foward and light man not sure of exact weight i think 290?

I now have out a 95gram modular can suppressor, 34.5mm diameter 117mm total length, suited to upto a 223.

Its the top one in the picture, the mini can is the one at the bottom, the sound reduction of the two are the same.

Nice... I'll be getting one of your standard weight cans for my AR soon. Had a go with Beavis' one on my AR. Nice weight and brought it down to 22mag noise.
Do you make to order, or have some in stock?
