Thread: suppressor failure

didnt phillipo have a similar "it dissapeared with a bang incident"

Im pissd i wasted the time to read 5 pages for nothing, I thought Mr Hardy or a spokesman should of replied that they would look into it and sort it ASAP already. If history shows us anything, it could be a long wait.
While we wait should we make fun of the shooter that uses 150gr loads in a 300wm hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I think Jason did the right thing posting the image. ( Caveat Emptor )

That big tall bloke from Hamilton sent us some extra baffles for our 223 cans which apparently he made by hand.We are a bit anxious because the baffle was made on a cnc machine but they performed faultlessly in the rain yesterday. Give him a ring.

Right after 5 page's of dribble, here's my take on things


Take it from someone that had a "light weight magnum suppressor" fail ( and yes there's no point dancing around not naming manufacturers, as everyone knows mine & this one was a HRE ) these friggen things don't go pop!, they go farken "BANG"

and it isn't a nice experience when they do, so for a few of you that are giving "looseunit" a hard time, try it for your self & see if you enjoy gettin smacked by Mike Tyson & a face full of shit.



This was well known, as it happened at a FnH forum gong shot, This was an early Gen 1 - 2 unit on a Kimber 7mm WSM









Dan sorted mine & he'll sort this one, he's always been good like that ( but shit they cost fuk all to produce ) so what the heck it's only a few $$ he don't give a toss, funny that my replacement also bulged after about 50 rounds blahahahaha

PS- I have nothing against Dan or any other suppressor maker ( shit HRE are doing very well for themselves at the mo ) but


A couple of points to take out'a this thread & I wish that some suppressor manufactures would inform their customers of this when using on medium-large centerfires.

These "Light weight can's" are made out of light weight material's like alloy, they aren't very strong & fatigue, so use them for there purpose, hunting! & by hunting I mean Deer shooting ( 3 rounds ) not bombing up 20 rounds in 2'mins on a mob of goats.

They aren't designed for gong shooting, While "cans" are great for shooting in a group ( far more socially welcomed than shooting with a brake ) putting 30-50 rounds through a "LW Can" in an hour, ain't guna do it any good.

Don't fit a "LW can" to anything bigger than a 30-06, the recoil reduction is fuk all & they don't like the pressure ( 60-65,000 psi ) go get a decent brake & a decent set of muffs, your shoulder will love you for it.


Just my two cent's worth

Chur

Or some hardening cream

Which is why I have a brake for range/gongs/hunting with others and a suppressor for hunting with the dog

Maybe I should go buy back those Reflex T8 tanks I sold 12 months ago.
Nothing will destroy those f**kers.




Nah.... got sick of lugging them around.
Happy with my DPT modulars on my bolts and DPT steel baffled AR can.

MAE full stainless and get an arm workout at the same time ha ha

I had 2 MAE stainless supressors bulge on a 300rum

If I had 300 rums I'd be more than bulging!!

I don't own a suppressor because I figure once the deer is dead, the noise don't matter much. I can't carry out more than one these days.

However, I have researched a bit on suppressors manufactured in Europe. Some of these , especially the upmarket ones specifically warn against firing more than 5 rounds from a magnum in any one sequence of shooting before allowing the suppressor to cool and be cleaned before re-use. Abuse of this condition voids warranty and liability.

I agree strongly with Philipo post.

I have to agree this thread turned to horse shit pretty damn fast.
Disappointing to say the least. The OP didn't have a crack at anyone and I personally didn't know who had supplied and fitted the can.
It would have been preferable instead of making assumptions that the questions were answered. I run a can on my boom stick and if it's possible it will fail give me the reasons why.
Cheers

I'd just like to say that after watching a few of NORWAY's videos on Youtube, his can must be pretty top notch. That dude fires hundreds of rounds in a sitting out of that 6.5x284 and it has survived pretty well. Granted it's not a magnum or anything. But still impressive.

Sheesh,

Firstly @Looseunit i think it will buff out, I am sure it will get sorted, i have 3 of his/theirs/dont mention names lol and would go again.

secondly if we are going to "add" things top the front of out guns that were not put there by the gun maker then i would suggest that at some stage 1 or 2 may fail.

Glad everyone is ok and also now i know where looseunit works
