Thread: Suppressors

Thanks for the replies gents.
Definitely going to in invest in one in the future.. I do struggle to keep my eye on the game with the recoil and blast from my .270 And considering going to a magnum cal so i think i'll really need something to reduce all the potential downfalls.

Haha I also made the mistake of trying to brush so crap off my can on the AR after a few mag dumps on the weekend and ended up with black paint over my hands.

If your looking to get a really good one maybe try sending Spanners a PM as he was looking at importing the ASE Utra ones from Tuuka.

Can anyone comment on life span of suppressors? Do they deteriorate much over time.. Would you expect any change in performance from say a suppressor thats new and one that had 500 projectiles fly past it?

my gunworks one will outlast the barrel on my 7mm RM.

Yeah I'm looking at one of the new gunworks spartan duraliums...

Depends on the internals of the suppressor and if its on a bolt action or semi. Stainless internals will last longer than aluminum but increases the weight. Aluminum internals on bolt actions would generally be fine. But if you were to be sending lots of lead downrange at a range then stainless may be the better option. If its for a little range work and mainly hunting then ali should be fine.

I shoot on small blocks of land and at ranges so a suppressor is considered courteous to the the land owner (or other range users) and so we get invited back. All my rifles with them have noticeable softer recoil and less bang to cause a flinch.

Cheers.
