Tactical Innovations Stratus
Anyone know the difference between the Stratus and the TAC 65, or the difference between the Stratus and the Quest?
the stratus is a al quest can. the diamond is supposed to be the end all be all of ,22 FA rated cans. it is designed for 100% FA use. the quest is designed for FA use just not back to back am180 mag dumps. for shooting on a FA1022, m1622, uzi22 the quest is great. I have played with the quest, <i have not seen a diamond yet. sorry about the typing erros i am in germanz and some of the letters are move around on the keybored
Got more info on the Diamond today if people are interested.
The Diamond has thicker tube walls and OD is 1.25". Baffles are stepped k & blast. It is 5.75" long or 3/4 inch longer than the Quest and weighs in at 10.8oz. It is intended for hard full auto use. Use as an alternative for people using the TAC16 as a full auto .22 can.

Might come as a shock coming from me, but that sounds like overkill.incognito wrote:Got more info on the Diamond today if people are interested.

Maybe, but I'd rather have the 1.25"OD, 5.75" lgth, 10.8oz Diamond than a 25oz, 7.65" lgth, 1.625" OD TAC16 hanging off the end of my 10/22.1928A1 wrote:

I think they basically wanted to make a hard core F/A can. I ended up buying a Quest because I don't have an MG so the Diamond would be way overkill for me.
The Diamond has a completely different look as well. It's completely finned to dissipate heat. If you email Craig, he can send you a PDF file that has a picture and a chart that compares all of his models. Looks like the 52 has been discontinued.

Yeah, I have the link which he e-mailed to me. The .pdf is stored on their website but I was unsure if I should post it or not since he sent it to me through e-mail. It is the brochure they gave out at Shot so I guess it's for public consumption.rill wrote:The Diamond has a completely different look as well. It's completely finned to dissipate heat.

The difference is merely grooves cut into the cone portion of the k baffles on the Stratus and QUEST, as opposed to smooth baffles on the TAC65. I guess the idea was to create a little more turbulence in the gas flow. They apparently get the same sound reduction in a can that is 1" shorter. In addition, the Quest is 100% stainless, so it is quite a bit heavier.
Go here and you can see pitures of the baffles.

Most companies use alum. Stainless is naturally harder and would therefore be stonger, but also heavier. There has been alot of discussion on cleaning baffles, but one of the regular guys here has a good site that shows it in detail.

No offense taken, but rich mans game, only if your just getting into it now or in past 10-15 years. 30-40 years ago when I bought all my F/A toys, they were very reasonable. $200 for 45ACP MAC-10 including Sionics, $400 for AM180 with 2 barrels, six mags and 2 winders etc, etc. Feeding the beasts is what's getting expensive today, especially Ma Deucecoyote223 wrote:No offense to anyone, but full auto is a rich mans toy anyway. Mine are semi, just wondering about suppression differences between rifle and pistol. Thanks.
