    That sucks

    How old is the suppresser? Eg what gen and round count.

    Was it fitted by the maker? Eg is it a mag can or did a reseller fit a 308 can?

    And most importantly, what does the maker say/plan to do about it?

    Wow.

    What exactly happened - did a projectile hit something, or did the gases just blow it out? Would've given you a hell of a fright no doubt.

    Had you given the suppressor maker the opportunity to rectify before you chose to run him down online?

    There has been no mention of the manufacturer yet so how could he be running anyone down?

    And even if the manufacturer replaces/redesigns whatever is it still not something the shooting community would like to see? isn't that why we are all here to see shooting/hunting related stuff?

    I am sure loose units first call would have been the manufacturer or supplier?
