Suppressors suppressor longevitiy

[alan98]

Just sitting here and was thinking about the lifespan of suppressors. I'm awaiting the approval of three.

Silencerco Sparrow- I would assume should last me a long time

Ops Model 12 for mk12 Mod1- Not sure on these- believe I read they last a long time as well?

Surefire socom 556-rc for use on MK18 with surefire brake and also use on RECCE style 16" also with Surefire Brake. I was recommended to buy the brakes as they act as a first blast shield allowing longer life. Are the 10.3" MK18 style rifles that much harder on the suppressors? Just wondering what I may expect for lifespan of the Surefire.

They should last you many years to come, if not the course of your life. Depends on how you treat them and how much you really shoot.

On the SBR a brake will help take some of the abuse on that first baffle. They are rough on cans, but who cares? Shoot the piss out of it and never look back.

Good to go for life. As long as registered tube is not destroyed, you're still able to have the company, or qualified manuf.
Re-core/upgrade whatever it is you might have need to change.

That sparrow mono core is a tank.

Zombie is right about getting the brake. SBRs literally sandblast the first baffle bore hole. Not the end of the world, but an ounce of prevention, right?

I didn't think about having them re-cored or whatever if ever needed. Not that I will ever wear them out, I was just curious. I paid a little more but got what I wanted the first time and wanna have them around for life I'll probably end up with more though if its anything like my firearm purchases...keep saying I'm done, but isn't the case lol
