    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    UPDATE**** Just got off the phone with Zak and my can has been repaired and is on it's way back to me in Albuquerque. Zak's advice to me was, NOT to shoot a 16"338LM with a can!!! We discussed barrel lengths and calibers and the minimum lengths for safe use of operation. Disclosure-- if...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    UPDATE**** Talked with Amanda yesterday at TBAC and she said they are starting to look it over. They will fix it, but she echoed Zak's response....."we'd like those baffles back!!" Tomorrow the range is closed in the morning(for cleaning), so I'm heading over there and see if I can walk the...

    No pressure signs. This is the same load I use for my DTA 26" 338LM barrel. Easy shooting and very manageable recoil. Out of the 16" barrel, I was getting 2405fps and out of my 26" barrel, around 2725fps.

    Lots of desert here at the Zia Range in Albuquerque. This is a stock photo off the Zia website, but those innerds could be under any sagebrush. I hope we can locate those baffles.....someday!

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    Talked with Amanda on Monday and she got me a return label within 5 minutes. My suppressor "remains" should have arrived yesterday, so I will call up there tomorrow and see if anybody has had a chance to look at it. I'm pretty certain that TBAC will take care of me. I guess as others here have...

    You'd think it would be easy, but there is a ton of sagebrush and weeds between the firing line and my intended target of 762 yards. I'll probably never find it!

    I just bought a Toyota Tundra in July 2013. Price $34,000. Made in San Antonio, Texas. A good chunk of that goes to American families. By the way.....one hell of a truck!!!!

    Thanks KYS!!! A recall due to faulty welds..................case solved!

    No orange color. It was only in the photo. When I just looked at, there are welding colors on the inside, but on the rim that blew out, there is just ragged metal and a black color from the jagged can. So, to be clear, I see no signs of oxidation. I've had the can only 10 months with only 62...

    That's my best guess.....and on behalf of Chris Farley(RIP) and myself, I can relate to a "fat guy with a small jacket". Love, "Tommy Boy".

    It's just the picture. I went and looked the remains again, just now, and there is no rust. We usually have zero rust here in New Mexico...just too dry. The orange color was where the weld blew out and the baffles went flying to Mexico. :)

    Thanks, Justin! Good luck finding that baffle system....it could be in Belen. That thing blew out like a MARK 19 in Baghdad.

    No sir....the threads on the barrel and the threads on the remains of the can are in perfect condition. The can was screwed on tight, so no damage there.

    Thanks, Ron! If you find my "baffles" at Zia, between the firing line and the 762yd target, there's a six-pack in it for you. :)

    I have great confidence in TBAC! I think this is a fluke!

    I wish I could see the baffles too.....they are long gone.

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    I agree with you 100%! I will give the Thunderbeast guys a call on Monday. I'm absolutely sure that they'll take care of me. My only fear is that we have to put a whole new can through the ATF system. I hope we can "repair" my can....with the already approved serial number by ATF. Either...

    Sorry for the poor pics, but the outside of the can seems undamaged, but as you can see from this side view, everything in the inside is GONE!! The can opened up like a can of soup and just blew apart.

    The inside of the can is perfectly clean. The threads are perfect and outer can metal has no damage.
