    I am sure loose units first call would have been the manufacturer or supplier?
    Pretty bloody obvious who made it, and considering the OPs previous form I doubt it.

    Who's running who down . Just put up a pic of today's experience. Never mentioned any manufacturers or said anything about their service . Don't know what they will do about it yet . . Some people are always out to start a fight , seems you can't say anything on here without it been a shit starter . For fuks sake don't read my hunting stories or you will the spca down on me for animal cruelty.

    But some of us weren't saying it, at least untill we know how Dan handles it.

    Everything has a failure rate, and progressive manufactures try to learn from every failure

    Not running the guy down. I have one of his gen 3 models and am very happy with it. Just saying that the knowledgeable lot on this forum don't need a name to know who made it.

    But search engines do, and when he his trying to spread into new markets stuff like this can get blown out of proportion real fast.
    I'm all for name and shame if the product is not supported, but we don't know that yet

    As you said. Everything has a failure rate. I'm sure the people who take time to research a product before they buy it will realise that.

    As such a concerned citizen maybe you should consider what you don't say then?

    I don't own one and know what it is.
    Come on. You're taking the piss now. The can that comes via national chain store H&F and Hamills packages. Probably the largest volume seller can in NZ. The only can with that distinctive spiral.

    Ok I didn't know that as I do not shop at H&F and we no longer have a hamils, However I still think the vast majority of shooters would not have recognised it for brand, the vast majority of shooters are not on forums either.

    if I post about shooting a deer - i'm bashed for shooting hinds or velvet stags
    if I post about a product - I'm bashed about advertising
    if I post an answer to a guestion about a product - i'm bashed for been biased
    if I post anything I know about something - i'm bashed for having a beef or shit stirring

    ever consider it those that are bashing are the ones with the problem?

    if I pumped gas for a job there would be no question , is it jealousy? get a fuken life , not everything in this world is a conspiracy , I posted what I thought was an interesting pic , no mention of manufacturers or service . that from it what you want , so everyone that posts a pic of a stuck car is picking on Toyota? cracked cases Federal? sometimes on forums people just like to share shit , if you cant handle it without starting shit read a mag where you cant have any input . forums are for sharing info , experiences , stories and knowledge

    get over where I work , we fit a lot of these suppressors and have no beef with anyone .

    While I mentioned something about making a choice with a fawn on the teat, something I cannot agree with... I have to agree with the post.
