Re: 20 vartarg

Can it and should it are two different things. If you shot it through a Mask, it probably won't explode on the first shot and it probably won't be quiet. I've shot 308 through a Ghost, and it didn't explode nor was it quiet. It warped a few of the baffles a bit. (Don't do that at home, I'm not sayi...

Re: 20 vartarg

Since the .20 Vartarg uses .223 Remington brass necked down for a .204 bullet, then it seems to me that any suppressor safe for .223 Rem would work for the .20 Vartarg (32gr bullet going 3600-3900 fps). You could ask Silencerco, but the .22 Hornet is 2900 to 3100 fps for a 35 gr bullet; while the ....

Re: Silencerco SPEQ program.....

I used Capitol Armory to purchase an Omega 30 and a 45 Osprey through SilCo's SPEQ program. The SPEQ is ran like Glock's Blue Label program, meaning they can't sell any off the shelf suppressor at SPEQ program prices. SPEQ suppressors are assigned to the program and not all SilCo dealers are able to...

Do you recommend the DM's "Reflex Adapter" or DM's "Griffin OTB break"?
How much gap between first baffle and muzzle/break? I was thinking 1/4" to 1/2", but not for sure.
