Looking for info on your 50 cal suppressors !

pdemos · Post by **pdemos** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 10:33 am

Can you give me info for your 50 cal suppressor, how does it do in noise and recoil reduction. Is it available to the pubic and what are the cost, this would be for a bolt action 50 that will only shoot match ammo.
Thanks,
Paul

We haven't sold many .50 suppressors to the civilian market. I have a few orders now for WindRunner suppressors(.50 cal). I have not seen any info on what they metered. I will check one out of the next batch I make. As far as recoil is concerned, my .50 weighs 25 lbs with suppressor and optics. It is more pleasant to shoot with the suppressor than with the brake. The recoil seems less harsh.

Ron,
I have ordered a .50 BMG can for a Windrunner as well as a .408 can to put on my .408CT and .338LM Windrunner. This was done via FBMG almost a year ago. Can you confirm that you are building these and that you have sunch an order from FBMG?

Any idea if/when the .50/.408's are going to be built?

Thanks!

This one is entirely my fault not FBMG. I have been really busy with 12th models all year. I am going to go through my .408 and .50 orders this evening. I don't have alot of them to make, but I haven't had much time to work on them. Give me a call at the shop(530-742-3248) tomorrow or saturday. I am getting some close to being done.

I got a call from Bill at EDM arms this morning. He got his demo rifle and suppressor back recently and I asked him if he could take it to the range and get some readings at the shooters ear with my meter. He only shot 4 rounds of his standard 750grain Amax load through it, but the readings were as follows: 137db, 137.5, 137, 138. He was shooting prone inder the overhang at the public range. I'll try to get more data when he get's a chance to shoot out in the open. I will have a small batch done soon and will see how my readings compare. I will fire it in a more open environment and try to meter on both sides.

Thanks for the info.

I assume this is a thread on can? Or does it attach like the other OPS cans?

Also................Any pictures?

idea what this can would run? $?

Depending on price, who would I order one from?

I look forward to your Db readings on both sides.

M82A1 .50 Caliber MBS Suppressor
Five shots

Should give you an idea about sound and recoil.

Nice.

Did this beast get metered by chance?

TIA.

The suppressor in the video did not get metered. I recently asked Bill Richie at EDM Arms to check one. I saw that there seems to be a tendency to check the sound level at the shooters ear with the .50, so that is what I had him do. Meter was placed as near to the shooters left ear as possible. The shots ranged from 137 to 138db. Suppressor was dry, I don't recall the outside temps. He was under a roof, shooting prone with benches nearby. Not perfect conditions. I am going to be metering another one soon here at the shop. I will post the results.

A call yesterday. A post just now right after mine. Are you stalking me? :D Happy to hear you were still interested. I've been really busy with smaller calibers, and some new mounting systems. Nothing as cool as what some are making. Just trying to make stuff a bit more user friendly.

I've got a suppressor for an M82 Barrett. I'd like to find someone who is willing to give it a try. I built one some time ago and it seemed to work well. It requires a very slight barrel mod that is hardly noticeable and will not affect anything if the suppressor is not in use. If anyone is interested in giving it a try, call me at the shop. 530-742-3248. It is the twin to the suppressor in the video on our web site.

Ron,
It salmost February - any insight you can share in you were able to get those .408/.50BMG cans built??

"Inquiring minds want to know...."

I got rid of 2 on the .50 list and 1 on the .408 list. I've also got a demo .50 with an odd 30mm thread that is available. (Made it for Nemesis .50). slowly getting there.

Ron,
Were the .50 and .408 for FBMG??

There are the specs on OPS website:

Diameter-2.5"
OAL-21"
Weight-6.5 pounds.

The length added to the weapon is 9"

Are the specs the same as the one metered?

Also would you be willing to make one a little bit longer, OAL added to weapon closer to 12" than the 9".

TIA.

Not sure, that would be 24" long. It might require that you get tax stamps in 2 states. :roll:
