    Suppressors Thunder Beast lead times...

    Well gosh, I turn the (threaded) turrets on my Nightforces ten times as much as I work the threaded parts of my Banish suppressors. Does that they are going to wear out on me???? You guys make Adam Schiff look honest. ;) But you know what, even if the threads on my Banish ever did wear out...

    Yeah, I'm guessing mine will only be good for at least a million cycles. So, let's see . . . at one cycle a week I am only good for 19,230 years. ;)

    Yeah, the Banish folks do not pay nearly enough attention to their website. But if you download their Instructions Manual for the 30 it says: The BANISH 30 is rated up to .300 WBY MAG with a 24” barrel and is limited full auto rated. It is not recommended to use on barrels shorter than 16” as...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast lead times...

    I only recently got the 30, but I've been running a Banish 223 for a couple years. Very high quality. However, there is a little clique here of mfgr's rep and sycophants who try to belittle anyone who dares to compare any other suppressor to the Ultra. Their idea of innovation is they make...

    IMO the Banish 30 does everything the Ultra 30 does, and a whole lot more. Here is mine on my just-rebuilt 7mm-08 in its 7" configuration. If I want maximum suppression I can screw on the 2" extension with 2 more baffles and run it in its 9" configuration. Takes maybe 30 seconds. I was doing...

    The "Loser User" is certainly a legitimate concern, but it is not like Banish did not think of that -- that have a good, simple system, a video, etc. You'd have to work at assembling it wrong. I'd put it this way -- if a person is irresponsible or scatter-brained enough to put one together...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    Sure, it could be that the silicone reacted somehow with the AS in a way that people who never use silicone would never see. But that "getting into the pores" is probably the reason I like it so much -- it definitely makes my baffles easier to clean, and while it is not an ideal lubricant, it...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    Here is one of the two identical tubes of AS I bought together, this one not opened. It is what I used on my rifle: Maybe I used the wrong kind of Permatex Anti-Seize? I can only guess why some people have used some kind of Permatex Anti-Seize and had no problem while I immediately had a...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    I am more than a little objective as I own a sealed suppressor as well as the Banish. I have objectively compared them and found that the sealed cans offer no advantages to me, while the user-serviceable Banish offer significant advantages. The ease of disassembly/reassembly alone makes them...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    Well, again, let's look at the facts: 1. I have shot the same V-Max bullets, the same XBR powder, the same Rem. 7.5 primers, and the same Hornady brass in my .204 for several months (a couple of thousand rounds), always with my Banish 223 suppressor with pure silicone coating the insides of...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    We have people talking about chunks of carbon from their suppressor going down their barrel and jamming their action, and people talking about having chunks of carbon too big to fit through their muzzle-hole, but you don't think it is possible for that carbon to block a baffle or end-cap hole...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    Seals cans are inferior, because of the difficulty of cleaning them. But then the sealed can devotees have the nerve to claim that their cans are more accurate than user-serviceable cans, which is complete BS. No one has yet matched the target I put up earlier (4 consecutive 5-shot groups at...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    No, you're just "reaching and guessing" like the rest of us. But let's look at the facts. This can has been shot quite a bit and is 5 years old, but has never been cleaned. It lives most of the time on a short-barreled 300 blackout, which means it got loaded with more carbon than many other...

    Suppressors Suppressor blew up

    A real engineer will tell you that no matter how over-built a suppressor may be, with no matter how much wall-thickness in the tube, if you presssure-stress it to the point that it fails it will always fail at the engraving, because regardless of how strong it is, that is still the weakest...

    Suppressors Do you clean your suppressor?

    Vinegar (industrial grade) is all I use and it works great, though I still have to apply some elbow grease if I want them spic-n-span clean. It costs about $2/gallon at the hardware stor. This photo was taken after about cleaning #6 on this can:

    My Banish suppressors are easy to clean.

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    I have found that to be true on sporter-weight barrels where the difference in suppressor weight is great, but not at all true on heavy barrels where the can weight difference is on a few ounces. I also find that even with a heavy barrel, shooting it without a suppressor almost always results...

    Suppressors Anti seize for muzzle devices

    Only when I listen to bone-heads posting on the Internet. When you can shoot four 5-shot groups in a row that average well under .3, like the target I posted, let me know. ;)

    Suppressors Suppressor advice needed for a first time buyer

    Yes, of course the 30 is louder, but I think it is a mistake to shoot ANY serious CF rifle VERY MUCH without at least mild ear pro, regardless of make or model suppressor. The 6.5 is no exception. It is fine to shoot a deer or something without any ear pro, but it is asking for tinnitus (which...
