Suppressor Experience

[Big Fin]

crazy I've been following some suppressor timing threads and recently some have popped up with about 6month (newest I heard was early November) turn around while guys are waiting from June and July still. Did you submit paperwork as an individual or as a trust?

I submitted as an individual.

 

[brymoore]

I’ve done both. Individual was 9 months (if I remember correctly) and new E Form was 6 months as a trust.

Ok there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason behind approvals. Maybe someone in the ATF office is an overachiever. Either way I'm glad pulled the trigger on one and hopefully it'll be sooner than later.

Big Fin can you advise where you ordered one from? I can’t find one anywhere.

Seems as though I’m late to the party, but I’m loving my Banish 30 on my .300 PRC. POI shift was 1 MOA right. Took 2 sighters at 100 yards to figure that out and was off and running out to 700 yards. Vertical drop stayed consistent to nwhat they were previously with a brake. Using a cheap decibel meter app on my phone (so results are what I paid for them - nada) it registered all the way up to 90 decibels at the trigger. I’ve got a video of my buddy shooting at 400 yards and the steel ringing is louder than the report of the rifle.

I’m hooked.

I got my from Nosler and the have a network of retailers you can do the paperwork with. I used Schnee's Powderhorn in Bozeman. Matt Miller was a great help.

How’s recoil suppressed vs braked?

Marginally more recoil with the can, but not significant. I can still spot hits at 400.

You have that on a 26 inch barrel? mtmuley

You have that on a 26 inch barrel? mtmuley

Yes. I can see why guys are going to shorter barrel lengths for use with a can. Can guarantee I won’t be still hunting with the combo, but won’t be too cumbersome for a spot/stalk situation.

I'm gonna stay clean. If recoil gets me, an APS Painkiller will be installed. mtmuley

My buddy’s SIL has a suppressed 28 Nosler. With the can on that thing is LONG. Makes it a PITA for strapping to a backpack.

It’s all theory for me at this point, but my thinking is roll with the thread protector on, and can in the backpack. Then before I make the last move to get a shot screw the can on. It may work, may not.

Reading all these, it is clear that its Time for me to start researching what to put on my 22” barrel so that I’m dialed in for 2024

That's a lot of messing around. Not saying it won't work for you. It wouldn't for me. mtmuley

Got mine last week, paperwork started September 29…

Even your suppressor looks like it came from Quigley Down Under.

 

[brymoore]

I carry my 24” rifle with the suppressor on 24/7. Only adjustment I made was to buy a slightly longer rifle case.

I don’t notice the length on my backpack and I don’t get caught on anything hiking/hunting.

 

[ashersdad]

Ordered one from Gunwerks for my 28 nosler at the beginning of March. Hope to have it by this Fall...

They are made locally and they are very good - but heavy.
