    Suppressors New TBAC cans for 2024

    We are shipping stuff continuously to dealers, so the pipeline is full and being delivered on. Demand just got kind of crazy in 2024. This means it will be much much faster to get a can from a dealer who submits regular orders and has what you want either in stock, incoming, or in the queue...

    Side Mounted WMLRF

    Hi, It's been a while since I messed with those guns but I probably did this: dialed scope back to 100 (my "LRF offset co-zero"), aimed the gun (ie the scope crosshairs) at a definite/precise object at a distance, and then dialed the red dot zero to the same point . On the gun, this meant the...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Fly 9 V Fly 45 on Zev 9mm

    It's built stronger since one of its design goals was .45-70. The fly9 was made to be as light as possible

    Side Mounted WMLRF

    I just measured the actual offset in inches vert. and horiz. and then did a true parallel zero, and then verified at distance. The primary was done around 40 yards and when I verified at distance it was dead on. Even if you get a co-witnessed (ie not parallel) zero at 1000, you won't have...

    Eh, not really an issue

    Side Mounted WMLRF

    Ah, well, you get a parallel/offset zero on the LRF using your scope reticle dialed back to 0, and then as a second step, you can co-zero your red dot to the scope optically.

    Side Mounted WMLRF

    I think one gun had a Spuhr mount and the other had an M-BRACE (American Rifle Co), both with the correct adapters to put things in the correct positions. Everything was mounted to the unified scope mounts.

    Side Mounted WMLRF

    I'll elaborate a little bit. I ran these on a pair of SPR-style gas guns for a class (we did shoot to about 850 so we actually had to range, LOL). Two reasons-- first, I like to have a small red dot above the scope at the 12'o'clock position, and two, with the Vortex on the left-hand side, I...

    I use the Vortex side-mounted on several guns and it works great.

    Which Suppressor for an HK P30L pistol with German Threaded 13.5x1 LH barrel?

    You just get any that takes a standard style booster and get a compatible piston M13.5x1LH. For example, for our Fly9, since we only make the US standard pistons, for metric I use Rugged pistons.

    I may be late to the party, but 3D printed suppressor??

    We've been tracking 3D printing tech for about a decade and do use it for R&D at present.

    Suppressors Beating a dead horse, Ultra 9 vs Magnus

    A highly suppressing can will increase backpressure on a as gun, it's a trade off for decreased muzzle report. From our line typically a different can would be chosen for a gas gun, however, the overall report will generally sound quieter a few feet off the gun with the larger can. I would...
