    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...

    Suppressors Beating a dead horse, Ultra 9 vs Magnus

    The 338 Ultra RR is a full size 338 Ultra with the RR endcap added, so there is no deficit in baffles. The dB comparison is on this chart, https://thunderbeastarms.com/img/Poster_2024_magnus.png check the .338 row on the left side of the chart for peak dbA. The BA mount is secure for...

    Sorry, I was just responding to the thread in general, not your post in specific. I understood what you meant.

    Suppressors Beating a dead horse, Ultra 9 vs Magnus

    With regard to the LTi vs. the Magnus, using the 2024 Summit data for 308, the mil-left and right positions are both dominated by the supersonic crack. That's why if you sort by Mil dbA Avg or ML dB or dBA or MR dB or dBA and look at the waves of any of the top about 10 cans, the SS crack at...

    Suppressors 338 ultra on 338 ARC/300blk?

    If you're asking about a Gen1 338 Ultra, it will be very very close to the Gen2 on 300BO subs. Most of the other cans in the video I don't think are available in .33 cal so the comparison set for 338 Arc would probably be different. We also now make the Magnus, -S, and -K in .33 cal...

    Suppressors 338 ultra on 338 ARC/300blk?

    The Gen2 will be a tiny bit quieter They are in continuous production, the crazy demand of 2024 approvals just put us a bit behind on them. Give us a call or email and we can get you on the backorder list.

    Suppressors 338 ultra on 338 ARC/300blk?

    We've shot a lot of 300BO subs through the 338 Ultra gen 1 and 2, it is super quiet.

    Reverse threaded muzzle

    FWIW, I categorically hate using left-handed threads on pistol barrels.

    Reverse threaded muzzle

    You should just red loctite the brakes to the muzzle threads.

    TBAC 9" cans vs Ultra 7

    We haven't seen any accuracy difference. More likely your barrel is hitting a different harmonic with a longer/heavier can.

    Suppressors Help choosing next can

    The two of ours I'd recommend would be the Ultra 7 (very light, 1.5"x7), and the Magnus-S. The Magnus-S-CB replaced the Dominus-CB as they would be redundant but the Magnus-S is stronger. You might try Montana Tactical or Mile High for a Magnus-S.

    Precision Rifle Gear Tripod mounts

    It is better in that it locks out the roll axis and only allows pitch and yaw adjustments. However, this requires that the base is level which takes longer to set up. I wouldn't use it when setting up the tripod was "on the clock" so to speak. It is noticeably heavier than the largest RRS...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tripod mounts

    I've used the ProMediaGear one for some years and it works fine. It is heavier than a ball head and takes longer to set up. You need a leveling based. "GK Katana Professional Gimbal Tripod Head"

    Would a slide hammer pull it out?
