I’m not sure if any of these Euro Suppressors made by Roedale Precision in Germany have made it over the pond yet. In the meantime we have a huge selection of suppressors to choose from in Europe, with the UK also having several manufacturers.
Suppressors have come a long way since the days of the huge and heavy early models, now we can tailor a suppressor for a specific need. The new Delta suppressor is of modular design, meaning it is not a tube filled with baffles but rather baffle sections that are screwed behind each other. Baffle shape was optimised with help of the University of Applied Physics in Osnabrueck. Delta’s are front mounted , have no more awkward rear barrel bushing and unnecessary weight of an over barrel design.
The delta suppressors are offered in three different materials, parkerised steel, stainless steel (bead blasted or TiAlN coated) and aluminium. There are two hole sizes, up to 6.5mm and up to 9.3mm.
This all means that we might find exactly the right suppressor for the task ahead.
At the moment I am using four deltas on my rifles.
My 223 tikka stainless has a stainless bead blasted Delta V (5 baffle) this suppressor weighs 17.5 oz, my remmy 243 sporter which I use as a light deer rifle and also for fox or long range crows has a Delta V “Light” mounted. This mod weighing just under 10 oz is all aluminium except the first two of the five baffles are stainless. The stainless baffles are better at taking the brunt of the hot gases and will prolong the life of the suppressor.
Last my 308 sako which is used for deer and the odd target outing has a steel delta 5 for the range. This one gets taped up with cammo tape and can fry inside as much as it wants, they are tough. For deer and long walks in the hills I use an “ultra Light” all aluminium Delta V , like the others five baffles and 7” long but only 7 oz. At last one can leave a suppressor mounted even for long walks or off-hand shooting. The rifle is less top heavy when slung over the shoulder.
Another advantage of the Roedale design is that one can reduce size and weight of the suppressor by removing baffles which of course leads to less noise reduction . Baffles can also be bought separately and are interchangeable
Each section is sealed via an O-ring
