... I'll dig around for a .22 1911 upper as well. Depending on which kit you get and which silencer, this may not work well. The weight of a can on the barrel has been noted to cause enough friction to cause malfunctions. My own Kimber conversion unit is very finicky, only running 100% with the mos...

+1 Ruger 22/45 makes a great host, very reliable and durable. Money well spent

And it shows, nice work!

... I'm wondering if anybody has tested to see if the larger internal volume of the 5.56 can reduces the muzzle blast appreciably more than the rimfire can? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say "it depends" LOL Spectre II is a very efficient design, and there are certainly some ineffic...

Worth the time you think?

Unburned powder

That sucks!

Thought about using a quick attach can?

Weight is very important to me and that's the only thing that kept me from going with the Specwar.

Will you hunt with the can or do any competitive matches? Kids or wife shoot it? Or will you mostly shoot off the bench or from a rest?

I'll add to the fun and say compare the Omega and the Surge from Rugged. Those are the two at the top of my list to check out

I have a 5 cavity NOE 247 grain mould with one HP cavity. Love it. Run it at the right temp and it makes a PILE o' good boolits

Picked it up two mondays ago and have now put about 150 rounds through it between a Ruger Mk III and a CZ 455. When I first unboxed it at the FFL I was amazed at really just how light this thing is. That's the main reason I bought it but it IS LIGHT! Construction is good, machining and fit all top n...

so many great cans coming out right now...this one seems like it might be towards the top of the heap...would you say?

Any thoughts on Surge vs Omega? Specifically mounting systems and overall suppression?

I slide a o ring on the barrel before I thread on the suppressor. Seems to work great. There's no way to be sure that o-ring is compressing perfectly even all the way around. Could lead to a baffle strike, especially with a tight bore and/or long can. At the least could cause a wandering POI. Best ...

So with mostly range use, weight is not a huge issue for you. You now will need to weigh cast bullet compatibility against quick attach versatility. Cast bullets can foul a suppressor pretty quick. Some have reported success with powdercoated cast bullets in a sealed can. I'd say if you can do witho...

A few questions for you:

1: will you use the can on multiple hosts?
2: How will you use it? Do you plan on hunting or will it mostly be used at the range, or??
3: Do you shoot cast bullets at all?

You mention the tone of each, can you give a descriptive comparison?

That's a actually poor design that relies strictly on volume. Their numbers are obviously wrong (they claim 103 db). Perhaps they don't have the right kind of sound meter....

Watch a few of SWR's videos like this one to hear what effective rimfire cans sound like.

Purchased my first can on 12/13/14. ATF cashed my check 2/9/15. Got phone call from my local dealer that can had arrived from Silencer Shop on 2/13/14, so I guess that means the Form 3 took about 6 weeks give or take, HTH Got the call today! :mrgreen: So almost 6 mo exactly from purchase, 3 mo from...

Trifecta!

Two awesome pistols! Why is it you prefer the P1? Is it function or just ergos?

Just understand that none of the items are yours, they belong to the business and go with it. Partners die/split up, fight over assets. Even if your split best of friends you will have to do a form 4 again pay the tax again, to take possession of your items. Kinda what I was thinking but wasn't goi...

Welcome to the site.

I think you made a good choice on a first can. Silencerco has a good rep and from what I've seen its a good can at a fair price.

Well I'm waiting on a Warlock II and a Recce 5 so I'll let you know in a couple months...
