Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[IDVortex]

Also heard about these guys from the EXP podcast. Once I get a dedicated can for my 6ac its a toss between this and the OG. Hoping folks start commenting about their experience with the airlock can.

Website is live . Just ordered mine

 

[Fever Buck]

They’re working on a dedicated 6mm can as well. Think I may wait to see what that one is about.

 

[AZGUY]

Just bought one as well. I’ll let y’all know on it.

 

[ZeroFoxGiven]

Managed to snag one of these and have it on the way. Excited to get it in and checking it out!

I ordered one as well. It will be at my FFL today.

Looks really neat. I imagine no hub/end cap, just one solid piece of 3D printing makes for light as possible in a given config. I want one.

Mark from Exo Mtn Gear talked about the suppressor in his recent fall bear notes. Here's the link

Post-Hunt Notes: Mark's Fall Bear

One of the things we have learned to do on hunts is to take notes while things are “top of mind” on the hunt itself, or in the days following. These notes could be gear you had but didn’t need, gear you didn’t have but wish you did, consumable items that need to be replaced, lessons you learned...

A comparison with this and the OG would be nice. Length is a big driver for me.

If my form 4 would ever clear for the OG I’ll compare the OG , airlock and Ab raptor 4

Very interested as well

We should have ours today, assuming FedEx can get their act together

I don't like that the test rifle they use has a 22" barrel. Obviously they cannot test a 6.5mm suppressor with the usual .308 round, but they could at least use the "standard" 20" barrel.

I despise fedex.

Thanks for the info.

EXO Mark's comment in that link is interesting, comparing the Airlock to the Thunderbeast:

"Like the Thunderbeast Ultra 5, which has been my dedicated hunting suppressor for several years, the Zero Gravity is 5” in length. But the Airlock is 2oz lighter, noticeably quieter, more affordable, and more readily available than the Ultra 5."

I don’t think 20” is standard for 6.5 cm . In his testing he has used other silencers like the Sico harvester evo side by side to give a baseline .

To their credit, they disclose what sound level meter is used, right on the product page:

Larson Davis 821IH-QPR

Standard barrel to me is 16"

Im just looking forward to next spring when they release a 6mm can.

Why? Cant imagine it'd make a huge difference and you probably get additional back pressure and less flexibility as built in down sides.
