Thread: What would ppl recommend as a good long lasting suppressor for an AR15?

NZ made if possible.

I'm guessing something made out of stainless that weighs as much as a axle for your car. MAE?

I had one of those Waitaki Cans for about 6 months and used it pretty heavily for goat culling (1000 rounds in a 6 month period.) I then made a fatal error and sold it (wouldn't mind it back). Was pretty durable and lightweight for the price.

I know diddly about suppressors but I'd like to avoid something heavy far out on the end of a "stick" sounds ikky.

Get the DPT AR can, alloy, but with steel inner for long life.
I only paid $200 for mine on sale (hard to beat that), but send him an email on his website for current price, link on banner above.

From an Non-AR owner I'd suspect a titanium ODL would be No1 choice if you wanted the best you could buy.

Get an MAE 224 St. It is a muzzle forward can. Is full steel, yet only weights 300grs. And is only $250. Great noise reduction
I have compared it to Gunworks max (MAE was lighter and quieter)
DPT (same weight, but a lot more durable)
Hardy ( mae is 1/3 the price)
The oceania defence are lighter and quieter but 3 times the price.
Great customer service too

The 224 ST has been developed for the recreational or commercial shooter where high output and or exposure to harsh environments are a daily occurrence. This model will fit on even the shortest barrel lengths with only a minimum of 0.59" (15mm) barre

Waitaki Engineering or MAE are bothfully stainless steel so will outlast any alloy etc. I have owned both (but overbarel models) and they are both high quality.
Though the DPT with steel inner that dogmatix mentioned sounds interesting

I got one of the Waitaki cans - I really wanted to get one of the ODL titanium cans but I couldn't quite justify the extra $$$ (I tried pretty hard though!) at the time. Pretty happy with the little Waitaki can, price is good, its pretty small and reasonably effective.

DPT AR ?

n/m

google is my friend,

DPT Machinists - DPT Machinists

If you intend dumping mags then look at Waitaki, NEA Steel suppressors or ODL, Dan Hardy Titanium.
Otherwise DPT looks to be the best choice.
ODL is NZs premium suppressor with the only published results.

I've used the waitaki cans, would certainly recommend them to go the distance.

Greystone make a nice solid Can... very quiet too.

The Dpt can is $350 iv put over 3000 rounds thru mine and it's still holding up fine, and being modular you can inspect that first baffle and replace it if needed if your on a budget id look no further.

If your not on a budget look at the ODL titanium can, one of the chaps that uses my range puts thru 2000 rounds plus with an 11 inch AR... He does this per week!!!! No issues although it's changed color quite considerably.
