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....

(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!
