I have been looking at getting the 30P-1 for a rifle Mike at Underground Skunkworks is building for me. My question is, I will be buying a semi auto down the road and would like to know if this can would hold up? The semi auto will be a repr or pof. It states on the TBAC website limited semi auto only. What kind of sustained fire will this can hold up to?
Suppressors TBAC 30P-1?

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
Hi,
I can't give you an exact firing schedule since it depends on a bunch of factors. The 30P-1 was designed for precision applications where the shooter cares more about accuracy than volume of fire. The suppressor's temperature should be kept under about 800 degrees.
If you are shooting without a mirage cover, you will not be able to see through the scope anymore due to mirage well before the suppressor could be damaged. Even on my bolt guns, with a mirage cover, I get limiting mirage from the barrel itself way before being remotely close to causing any suppressor damage.
If you need something for sustained semi-auto applications or full auto, we can build a custom one out of stainless or stainless/inconel.
hope this helps

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
Thanks for the reply Zak. I'm not looking for heavy volume of fire. It would mostly be precision shooting. Occasionally it would be a higher rate of fire than with my bolt gun. I guess I'm just looking for anyone with experience with this can and one of the above mentioned semis. I'm sure it would be fine for what I am doing. I am just starting out in long range shooting and would like to attend a few classes at rifles only. So I don't have much experience with suppressors. I would like to try some tactical competitions once I become competent.
Thanks, Jarrod

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I know we have a guys who shoot them primarily on AR-10-type platforms. Maybe one of them can post.
Ray and I like to pull the trigger on our bolt guns and we can go through dozens of rounds in just a few minutes. I've shot my .308 and .260 through the 30P (and now 30P-1) multiple times until the thermal cover started to get a little soggy and the whole thing smelled like burning-- no problem with either the old or new can.

Why don't you come to the Sporting Rifle Match and we can give it a try. The first match of the season is 6 February. If you show up at the Whittington Center on Saturday the 5th you can try my 30P1. You won't be the only guy from Oklahoma at the match I suspect. We might even talk Zak into coming down early and shoot on Saturday at Whittington Center before the SRM practice Saturday afternoon.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
You wont be sorry you bought this can,I got my Thunderbeast 30-p1 couple months ago for my AW 260rem.Im very pleased with this suppressor to say the least.Myself and another hide member got ours about the same time and he shoots his Apa 7wsm with it on.Its so quiet even witht the magnum that it feels like a 223 bolt gun.We dont shoot semi autos with it but we do shoot as fast as we can get back on target.
Heres a couple cheesey vids i made shooting with the thunderbeast can.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
The background conversation in that first video was entertaining.
Anyway, if you can make it to the SRM, beg, borrow, or steal a semi .308 with 5/8-24 threads and you can try out our can on it.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
That exactly what I want to get into Jeff. Sounds a lot more fun than punching paper. I don't have my rifle yet. Mike at Underground Skunkworks is in the process of building it. The only experience I have is shooting a friends rifles at our local gun club and at his ranch. I am hooked now. Thanks for the offer Jeff. Once I get my rifle and get some proper training I will definitely be attending some of these matches. Looks like a lot more fun than shooting at the range.

I should thread my LTR and then we could use that as a "guest rifle" to demonstrate the TBAC kit...time to go see Shane.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
Good information Zak, thanks for that. I'm waiting for my form 4 to get back from ATF on my 30P-1.

Yeah the conversion in the first video... Those gov employees have some pretty crazy stories. lol I still don't know what the guy talking in the video does for Uncle Sam. I think he is US DOE. I just know he has some bad ass rifles!
After shooting my 30P-1 and swapping it around from my 7WSM and 308, I need another suppressor. I might just get another 30P-1 since there hasn't been anything else that has impressed me as much as what the crew at TBAC is putting out. On both my 7WSM and .308 there is 0 shift at all. I was shooting both of them with and without the suppressor at 600 yards that day and had no problems hitting steel.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I shot a match this weekend and got to see a few suppressors in action. Makes me want to get one and this one is top of the list for sure.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I have several of the TBAC cans including the 30P-1.
Very Happy with all of them. The cans have held up very well for me using them on bolt guns and semi-autos.
The guys at TBAC are good to deal with to.

I am waiting on my stamp and have to agree the folks from TBAC are great to work with/talk to!!
I can't wait to actualy use the 30P-1 on my .300WM and .308!

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I couldn't be happier with my 30P-1.
(Thanks Zak!)
I use it on my FN A5-M SPR and an AAC 300 Blackout upper with a 10" Noveske Barrel that I built recently.
FWIW,
No issues with high volume fire with the 300 BLK cartridge.
It doesn't generate enough heat to cause any issues.
The craftsmanship of it is also exquisite.
There isn't a single seam or weld visible on mine.
It is as it the whole things was a single piece of Ti.

If you read the KAC EMR manual as well as watch the REPR videos on LWRC's site, you'll see that a semi-auto 308 can be perceived to support a variety of different roles.
Yes, I have both rifles (actually the REPR just shipped to its new owner) and access to the TBAC can.
I suspect Zak's can is over engineered to the point that it would endure the noise making antics shown on the LWRC site, but would be much more effectively used as a precision rifle can as depicted by the intended use of the KAC EMR (and .mil SASS rifles) with a firing regiment of around 5 rounds per 2 minute spans. Granted the KAC can sling a large amount of precision aimed copper in a short period of time when needed, given the form factor so closely resembles your full auto M4, the points made in their manual about maintaining match grade accuracy are valid.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
We just had a guy shoot a match with a 30P-1 on a 16" POF I think. I'll see if I can get him to sound off. I looked at the can he shot in the match and it didn't show any real wear at all.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
Sorry it was a Larue 16" 308. SAid it went from 3/4 MOA to 1/2 MOA with can on
Rate of fire was never that high maybe 30 rounds in 10 minutes. I do more than that with my bolt gun.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I have both the 30P & the 30P-1 (and a .22 can on the way). I an adapter made to run the 30P can on an AR and it has performed flawlessly. Essentially we just stopped shooting it when the mirage affected your sight picture.
JSF – I would encourage you to start the paperwork now on one of the cans, so you can have it the moment your new rifle is finished. I assure you, you will be happy you did.
On both of my cans, I can remove them to attach to a different rifle & when I move them back to the original rifle there is no change in zero!

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I think I am going to go with the 30P-1. My local dealer has one in stock, just need to get the paperwork going. I know it will be great for my bolt gun Mike is building and should be good for most of the shooting with the semi. Thanks for the help everyone.

Why don't you come to the Sporting Rifle Match and we can give it a try. The first match of the season is 6 February. If you show up at the Whittington Center on Saturday the 5th you can try my 30P1. You won't be the only guy from Oklahoma at the match I suspect. We might even talk Zak into coming down early and shoot on Saturday at Whittington Center before the SRM practice Saturday afternoon.

Planning to make that match myself either in February or March. Gonna wait and make sure another damn blizzard doesn't hit before I decide for certain. I'm really looking forward to seeing some Thunder Beast cans in action. Particularly interested in the 338 Lapua version but I doubt there will be any of those...300 Mag limit in this match.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
Some more fun at the 600 yard line with the 30P-1. The other rifle in the background also has a 30P-1

You should hear it with subsonic 220 grain SMKs in 300 BLK...

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I have used the 30P 1 on my bolt 308 and my custom semi AR 308. Ive got about 500 rounds in the semi and almost all rounds have been with the can. The fastest I've taken it was a 20 round mag dump firing off about one shot per second. Got plenty hot but no issues. The AR for my application is 0 to 600 yard multiple target precision rifle. If you are looking more for a high volume assualt rifle, I would take Zak's advice and have them build you a custom can. Good Luck and happy shooting!

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
I did get to hear it with just that yesterday before I bought it.
The dealer is big time into blackout. He walked down the hall and popped a round off in the bullet trap. Slick drywall, slick floor, and hard ceiling, so basically it's a huge echo chamber. I tell you, I have a pellet gun louder than that setup with the 30P-1 on it.
Paperwork went out in today's mail run...day 0 is checked off on the calendar.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
This will be my next can, my dealer is trying to locate one for me now and if they are unable I get one from a Hide Dealer and have it transfered.

Re: TBAC 30P-1?
That's how you do it. Only delay on our end is waiting the 2-3 weeks for ATF to clear the Form 3.

I got mine from sotexhunter here on the hide. He is a vendor.
I am a huge fan of the TBAC 30P-1 and 338P-1. I own both and am very pleased, I will be getting another TBAC can in the near future for sure!
