Thunder Beast, who is the dealer?

Dennis

Sport Optics/Interstate Guns was where I got mine. Or you can buy direct from Thunder Beast and have FFL of your choice handle it.

I ordered a Gemtec 308 silencer from Silencer Co with the intention of using it on my 308, 6.5x55AI, and 6br

I have a Gemtech Sandstorm and recently received a
Sig Sauer SRD762Ti QD. The Sig, is truly a work of art and is quieter than the Sandstorm on three different platforms. .308 bolt rifle 16" bbl. AR-10 20" bbl. gas rifle and a AR-15 300 Blk. out 16" bbl.
Go to Silencer Shop's web site and compare a good variety of cans. Good people to deal with also.
I hope this helps,
Lloyd

Dennis,

any can you buy will change poi, some of that is on the weight of the can, that is why ti is better than ss. also if you want quiet as #1 you need size, a 9" can is quieter than a 7", more baffles more quiet, but a 9" will have likely a bigger poi change....cause it is heavier. If you want a super quiet can do not be surprised if larger is recommended. Other calibers...this is where the rub comes in. if you want 308 and buy the can direct thread it will likely be 5/8 x 24 if you want to use it on your ar (223) likely that is is too big. most cans for them are 1/2x28. so....if you are using on multiple sizes I recommend the thread over muzzlebrake or muzzle flash. for example, I wanted one center fire can to do all my work. I picked a can that will do magnum capable specs, thread over muzzle brake. it will work on 300 mag down. I have thread over brakes for 7mmRM, 260, 6mm Slr, and for my ar 223 a thread over flash supressor. it works on all, max bang for the buck. My can is a SAS reaper, it was and still is on sale at Mile High Shooting. TBAC (thunder beast) makes a mount like it. likely so do others. it is a rock solid conical mount. I remove the can regularly and no change of poi as long as the can is mounted. I have a fat short barrel on the 260 and it's change of impact is .1 mil at 100yd. I also have a .22 can, direct thread. it too has a poi change but like the center fire cans the groups are the same or better with the can. Other than cash there is no down side to being quiet. Check out Mile high for their SAS sale or go TBac you can't go wrong. and just wait for it (you will as the BATF aint fast) hahahaha, you'll be ordering another so you can shoot in the backyard and the neighbors think you are airgunning.

There are thread adapters available which would solve the issue of compatibility with .223 sizes.....

They are located 5 miles from me so they did the transfer. Very well set up shop that you can see them being made and they will show you around.

Has anyone tried the Larue Tranquillo 308 suppressor? Just wondering. The advertise no poi change but there just about has to be some because of the weight.

Of course LaRue would be the only one making that claim......

TB ultra 9, Once scope is adjusted to compensate very accurate. A friend shot it and thought on the first round he had a squib. Good quality, lightweight and excellent customer support.

Another one for Lane suppressors. Have 5 and very happy with them.

I would look at Silencer Co Harvester or Omega. Thunderbeast is a good direct thread option. There has been a lot of progress in suppressor design.

+1 silencer co QD mounts are the best but direct thread TB looks better

 

[NSWArmorer]

ThunderBeast out of Wyoming. I got their .338 can and am installing muzzle devices for everything from my AR to the .338. POI shift is inevitable because ANY weight/length change of the barrel will change harmonics, that being said the ThunderBeast cans I have used in the past have actually made smaller groups (worst case I saw was same size group as without suppressor).

 

[Auto-X Fil]

Thunderbeast or SilencerCo Omega. Can't go wrong with either. TBA might be more accurate (I can't tell on my guns), but the Omega is more modular, so that's what I have.

Leave it on for load development. It will affect POI and possibly harmonics.

Lane has a reasonable cost. My .223 was about $450. The .30 cal is a little more. It works very well. I use it for Yote hunting. I should have bought a .30 cal just so I could shoot it on all my rifles.
