<span style="font-weight: bold">Templar Tactical's .30 Cal Archangel Suppressor </span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline">Website: </span> Archangel Suppressor Specs
Today I took the Templar Tactical Archangel 30 caliber suppressor out for the firs time to give it a look. This is a new suppressor from them on the block, Ti and can be taken apart, so I was excited to try it.
Basic Specs:
14.8oz.
9.25" long
Ti Monocore design
I mounted the suppressor on a 20" Bartlien barreled AX Rifle, and I am very happy to say, i had excellent results for a basic, initial test. And like most it appears to be even better after being shot.
What I did was initially zeroed the AX without a suppressor, and confirmed the zero point on the center of the target. <span style="font-style: italic">(see below) </span> Then I mounted the suppressor and fired my initial group of 5 rounds marking each round as it appeared on the target.
Now it is not uncommon to see a new suppressor have a first round shift, some times it takes a bit to carbon up, settle in a bit, and the Archangel had a bit of shift but then quickly sucked into a nice group. (<span style="font-style: italic">my shooting today was not my best, and I think I need to clean my rifle) </span> But the suppressor grouped well. I immediately removed it after the 5 and set it off to cool. From there I shot my other suppressors to give a reference point.
I did mess up the TBAC group but initially grabbing a few 155gr Scenars, but caught that mistake early, I could feel it and see it. So I shot another 5 as well as followed it up later to confirm I indeed had made the mistake, so don't worry about that one. It was operator error as I had a mixed box of 308 I grabbed.
But looking at the accuracy and shift of the suppressors on this rifle you can see the Templar Archangel did very, very well.
Before leaving I shot one more group with the can more than 45 minutes off to the side cooling. So the last group at the top left was cold again.
I have no clue what it was about me, but every group I blew the fifth round... probably moving my head in a different position as I was up and down for the shots quite a bit. Can't blame anything but me here, or I can, but who's gonna listen.
Anyway, this was my first set of shots with the Archangel and I will be heading out to shoot more and more with it, but wanted to drop a note that I find the suppressor very accurate and very well suited for a precision rifle.
It's a bit longer than most .30 cal suppressors, which is not a downside, and in fact probably makes a touch quieter, but over all I found it worthy of consideration. I am looking forward to shooting it more.
My only criticism would be that when tightening it down, i noted the sleeve turning when the end cap was tight, you can slip the Ti sleeve but clearly it did not effect anything.
With a price tag of $1099, I think you have a very good option in the suppressor world.
