Re: Recommend a suppressor for .338LM
I would like to chime in. What separates my cans most all of my cans is that they do come apart. Why would not a civilan want a can that is servicable by the user? Why would the Military not want a better better bang, for thier buck?? Its not that hard to service. I dont think the guys using sniper cans are stupid. Civilians your spending a lot of money 200 tax that is none refunadable. Quality is everything.
Some manufacturer's say thier cans will never need cleaning. In my opinion that really depends on the ammo and powders you are using. I have seen alot of cans sealed that needed cleaning. I have multiple thread adapters that can be used with all but one of my cans. I like threads because I feel they are the most accurate and repeatablity. Its not about sitting at home playing with your quick detach can on and off looking cool its about sound and accuracy, lets face it cans are cool by themselves.
Some people might spout of numbers and I am am not real impressed with numbers. John Titsworth is the only repuatable tester out there based on my dealings with him and the results I have seen. Sound meters do not have the whole story.
Quality of the machining, Quality of the welds. Mine are not welded some manufactures have actually weakened the tube by crappy welds that caused embrittlement. This caused the cans to fail.
In my opinion cans are made for a purpose everyone wants to get a multiple uses out of thier can. However, if its a light weight sniper can its not a full auto can. etc etc.The only can I sell at the moment is a 556 can that is fully welded. Hence its purpose. Full auto rated go dump some ammo.
Shark can the first one born out of a lack of customer service from another suppressor builder, purpose light weight sniper can. I like picking up a can thinking it has no baffles in it to discover its assembled.
Tigershark beefed up Shark for calibers, originally designed for 300 win mag. Guys are shooting 300 Ultra mag etc.
Jaws 338 can a bit heavy but it will last forever.
My favorite questions or statements at the range are
Is that a subsonic load? No full power ammo.
Those are illegal, actually they are not.
Man there is not any recoil.
No body saying "what What" after a session at the range.
I am not a gun writer; just a guy who builds a quality product,likes people to enjoy it and makes shooting more enjoyable for EVERYONE at the Range.
I rather loose money on my cans and keep my reputaion because lets face it that is what your buying from me. Let face it every manufacture has had a hicupp here and there its what you do about it that matters, Plus listening to the customer.
If you live near OHIO I plan to be at the Thunder Valley Range April 17,18 to shoot demo and answer questions.
