Air Lock Industries Suppressor

My .02 cents is that if your an ounce counter then wait for the 6, if the little tiny bit of size and weight won't bother you i would get the 6.5... if everything follows suit, the 6.5 on a 6mm rifle might be quieter.

That’s my dilemma. Particularly for my 6ARC. I’m chasing ounces on that one. So I’m just curious how many ounces less the 6mm suppressor will be than the 6.5.

The 6.5 is listed at 5.75oz and the Nano is 3.75oz so if I was a betting man, I'd say it'll land around 4.75oz ballpark. Which would leave you with a 1oz difference.

Obviously a total guess but I cant see it weighing more than the 6.5 or less than the Nano.

This echo's my thoughts as well... and personally once you get down to a 4-5oz suppressor I don't think there is a bad call but for me, I would rather have a touch on the heavier side for an increase in sound suppression since you are already at a super lightweight product specs. For a suppressor that comes in under 6oz and actually works well is incredible!

Is there any truth to 3D printed cans getting dirtier than machined cans? How often should I realistically have to clean the can??

I have not heard that one before.

Realistically, most people will never have to clean a centerfire can. I have heard of people cleaning them whenever they weigh an ounce more than they did when they were new.

I clean my rimfire can every 500 rounds.
