Suppressors.....Are they worth it???

One more thing I would like to comment on is the build up inside of cans over use.

I have a 7.62SDN-6 from advanced armament corp that has been used on a 12" 308 semi auto as the worst and a bolt action 300blackout at the lowest usage end for pressure. I will say this can on 9 guns for over 12k rounds of high power center fire ammo has stood up well. The ratchet mech has some carbon build up that gives me trouble and I am well past what the manufacture says should go between cleanings but I can send it to them and have this SEALED can cleaned for FREE. My bolt gun cans in all likely hood will never ever ever ever be cleaned because they will never need it. The higher pressures and jacketed bullets prevent any accountable build up from occurring inside the can. The SDN-6 is used with surplus ammo as well as cheap pistol powders in some subsonic applications making it down right filthy and it still works fine and after twelve thousand rounds of ammo has not "clogged" up enough to block the baffles. We are talking a can I do water training with and have muzzle stuffed into the mud on occasion then cleaned out with a pressure washer and continued to shoot. For bolt guns I would get the thunder beast arms 30P-1 thread on with 5/8-24 threads and would never need another till moving up to a 338 or larger.
 
I am shooting a Thunderbeast 30P-1 threaded on my 6mm BR varmint rifle. Not only does it quiet things down, but the gun went from shooting .25MOA to sub .25MOA. No change in first shot POI and the suppressor acts a very good muzzle brake also. I purchased the TB because of the accuracy claims and I have been very pleased. With the suppressor on, the gun likes faster burning ball powders like LT-32 or H322. Without the suppressor it prefers Varget.
Just buy one, you will not be able to stop grinning!!! I purchased mine from Silencer Shop in Austin. Best customer service in the business. They fill out all the paper work and email you every step of the way.
 
I talked my friend into getting a suppressed 22 after a year of waiting it was released. His hearing after 40 years of construction and a couple of tours in Vietnam was so bad he couldn't tell the diference with high power ammo. i finally convinced him to let me shoot it in the shop with and whith out the canwhile he went outside before he could tell the difference. I guess perception is important to what you expect.,
