Kestrel 308

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

That's a bit large but not totally crazy. You need some clearance for safety.

yeah, thats what i thought.
Just never thought id see fire come out the end of a suppressor.
Its almost like this baffle system does nothing to redirect gasses.

ive got three of huntertowns cans, .22, 9mm and 556. the 22 cans, i cant tell a difference between it and the original swr Spectre, SS sparrow and the outback IID. the 9mm, its okay its not an octane but it does what it was designed to do. same thing for the 556. it does an okay job at suppressing but there are better cans out there.

having heard the kestrel 308 they have out, just stay away from the 308 they have until they change the design.
