This is not a full review, As I didn't get any range time today. My Zephyr XL came into my dealer today.
It looks much better in person. It comes with a tool to take a part but I found hand tightening was sufficient.
In the pics I did a side by side with a regular Zephyr you can definitely see the size difference. I wanted to post pics of the internals.
Thank you for sharing the most enjoyable shots. Your
taste in suppressor is complimented by your humidor
and its contents. I shall make the gratuitous assumption
that your 18 year old ( McCallan scotch that is )
is of the same calibre.

Yes they have based on previous pics I have seen. I like the overall construction of the of the Zephyr XL. It's really big, I was debating putting it on a Beretta Bobcat I think it would look really funny.
I used the evil Quicken Will maker..... And my form 4 was approved
Here is a pic of the new Desert Tan ZXL's. Not a great pic but it gives you the idea. I will try and get better pics if I survive the icepocolypse of 2011.

Nice, I like how they left the end caps original.

A measured sound comparison test between the old and new style cores would be interesting. It would let people who already own a ZephyrXL know if it would be worth it to pay to have the old core replaced with the new style. If there was a significant improvement it wold be worth the $ to upgrade. My older core style ZephyrXL is quiet enough where the new style baffles would be hard pressed to make a significant improvement..... but it would be nice to see some numbers.

I think at that point, were splitting cunt hairs. I was very impressed with both the Zephyr and Zephyr XL. I don't think an email to Brooks would hurt about getting the core upgraded so far TM has been great to deal with. My dealer called me on Monday we got talking he's going to put a 22 upper on one of his machine guns and were going to test out the ZXL on full auto.

I just ordered on of these through my dealer, actually he has seven on order waiting for form 3's to go through but one now has my name on it. This will be my first 22 can but I have a Ciener for .306, a suppressor on my 300 Whisper, and a 9mm Gemtech in the safe now.
I debated going integral on the 10/22 but seeing as I have a Browning Buckmark as well I decided being able to move the unit to other guns was a bonus.

If you are who I think you are........your ZXL is in and the Form 4 will be in the mail tomorrow.

It seems like Form 3's (from all manufacturers) are taking longer then my damn Form 4's right now. I don't know whats up. It is at least 6-8 weeks on most of mine.

What has been your average time on a Form 4?
