    A mate from the darkside, racktracker has a carbon fibre one on his 7mm rem mag guide rifle. Its light and he rates it highly. My 10 year old fired it with no problems. I would suggest a tui_man can would be just as well made and practical if not better.
    Cant wait to try my one out.

    Looking good Tui_man. Hopefully the courier was ensured for the lost parts. Do you have the specs for the modular suppressor? Weight Length muzzle forward length etc. Overbarrel or can?

    Cheers

    Cheers
    Right sorry normie

    CAN VERSION Over barrel
    47.5 OD 47.5 OD
    144mm forward (7 units) 150mm forward (7 units)
    410grams 120mm back
    570grams

    Each stack adds 16mm in length, can cut down to 64mm in lenght or keep stacking them up past the 7 that come as standard if you wanted to purchase addition units, an can go lighter if you would like anodised alloy as baffles an replace them for powder wear when you rebarrel

    Nice idea. But I think you need pieces anodized or coated properly for that true professional finish. Youve got some great stuff goin on. Im lookin forward to receiving my build your knocking out for me.
    That build you told me about of your own sounds very interesting to, cant wait for a report.

    I dont agree with the anodizing. It wears off pretty quick from use, and a tape of some sort would suffice for the end caps as they are all thats showing. I reckon it is his look and it would just be another cost he has to pass on. They look pretty professional to me and I rate my one highly enough to get another.

    Carbon .17/.22 end can
    Alloy .17/.22
    Carbon Overbarrel upto 60gr powder
    Alloy Overbarrel upto 60gr powder
    Carbon hunter overbarrel upto 60gr powder
    Carbon superlight hunter over barrel (No isolator/alloy brake) upto 60gr powder

    Do ends cans but on request dont hold any is stock, an also do stainless suppressors on request, overbarrel or end can

    Awesome. Cheers mate. I look forward to the photos. Smaller OD on the modular cans will be good. Let me know if you need a tester.
