    Suppressors TBAC Ultra 5 or 7

    You didnt go wrong. The 338 is cool. Shot a customers once, but dont own one. Try it on 300 BLK with subs, its really awesome. I have a 5, 7 and had a 9 (buddy bought it from me). The 7 isnt even a fair comparison to the hybrid which I also have. 7 is quieter, lighter, and has a better mounting...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Ultra 5 and 9 on Seekins SP10M 260 Rem Sound test

    ^^^This. TBAC holds crazy tolerances. SiCo is more volume mass production. Not bad cans, just not spectacular. Its not even about sound. Its just all the other attributes too. TBAC better Mounting system, less POI shift, lighter weight, more consisent build characteristics. SiCo does great...

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    Also, as much as I love the TBAC 7, if you are really interested in maximum sound reduction and really experiencing what quiet can be, then def get the Ultra 9 or maybe the Q Thunder Chicken. Also the long versions of the 30 cal Sig cans sound great. I wish the Dead Air Sandman Ti wasnt direct...

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    You are asking the wrong guy. I dont get real wrapped up in energy and stuff like that. I expect the engineers of the companies we buy from to figure that out. I can tell you that the difference is pretty substancial from a bare rifle to a suppressed one no matter what the caliber is. If you...

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    For me, unless Im using a tapered barrel system and taper direct thread cans like Q and Sig make, then I stay away from direct thread all the time. When I first ordered my Thunderbeast cans for demo some years ago and we signed up as dealers, I spoke with them about this subject and they...

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    Im not a expert but that doesnt sound right. If you visit a website where they sample a 3db change in sound, it is just barely able to be heard. The difference that is. Maybe someone with sound training or who works in that industry can chime in. HaHa! No the tax stamp doesnt come any quicker...

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    Yes, to me it is. We sold alot of omegas early on when we opened and we had numerous ones for demo. We finally just sold the demos too. the suppressor itself isnt bad, its just not great. Numerous ASRs have come into our shop damaged or the secondary lock teeth stripped. I have a box of them. I...

    The Fix from Q

    Mine has the blue on the latch and the plastic that the rubber is permenantly attached to. I switched out the adjustment part on my tan one but the color is in the different spot on the blue one. So now the only blue is above the grip. Looks a little weird and out of place being the only spot of...

    The Fix from Q

    I know this is a little late but does anyone have a blue Big Butt (new or used) they would trade for a Black NIB one?

    Suppressors Ordered an Ultra 9, any reason for me to also order a 7?

    I have a 5, 7, and 9. The 7 is my favorite for mountain hunting with shorter barrel 308. Nice and compact. I like the 9 for bench shooting, Bipods, etc. Honestly, I really can't find an application for the 5 and have thought about getting rid of it. It's really cool to look at on short weapons...

    Suppressors Dead air nomad or Q trash panda

    Gotchya. I don't really do forums much. Just sort of stumbled upon this. And I get that. I've had mixed feelings at different times about how he handles situations. I do like their stuff but I understand what you are saying

    Suppressors Dead air nomad or Q trash panda

    Look I was just giving some impressions that we saw based on our shooting both cans ourselves and what our customers impressions were. Maybe it was host weapons and ammo, who knows. I love dead air. Didn't mean to get anyone all worked up about who was superior. We are dealers who handle all 3...

    Suppressors Dead air nomad or Q trash panda

    Definitely with 300 subs. We still felt it was a bit quieter with 308 but not as big a margin as the 300 BLK. But to be fair it could just be the tone difference. We were still getting some first round pop with the nomad but not so much with the TP. I don't recall ever shooting 556 thru it. We...

    Suppressors Dead air nomad or Q trash panda

    This is not scientific, but we have demos of both in our shop (SVF, LLC). The Q trash panda has been noticably quieter than the nomad at least to our guys and the customers we have demoed with. The nomad sounds good with 300BLK subs until you shoot the trash panda, and then you don't want to...

    Help me choose my upper assembly!

    Re: Help me choose my upper assembly! Yeah, bull barrels are heavy. IMO, Unless you are shooting high volumes from a stationary rest varmint hunting or bench shooting, they are just too heavy for carrying around. A medium heavy or heavy profile will shoot just as well if the barrel is from...
