Air Lock Industries Suppressor

Could be that I just need to use a higher quality adapter as I noticed a bit of inconsistency while shooting zeroes with mine. Who makes the ones you are you using there?

I switched to UM adapters as I had an adapter that decided to stay in the can, so that can is now dedicated to 1/2" threads. https://unknownsuppressors.com/shop/acc/1-2-28-thread-adapter/

I like the Precision Armament adapters, very minimal profile and no issues on 3 different rifles.

Some adapters add length, so don't forget to consider that.

That is a sweet setup. How much does that whole setup weigh?

Thats awesome. I need a ton of pts in OR to get a decent rifle draw tag for antelope. What caliber you use?

Anybody that has used both or been around both, care to comment on the airlock versus an Otter Creek Hydrogen K? Both have caught my eye as a dedicated hunting can. Comparable specs and weight between the two.

A 22” tikka 6.5 prc

Did you start with a 24” barrel and were able to cut down 2” without going into the fluting? Still able to thread to 5/8” at that location?

That’s exactly what I did . It’s a veil wideland

Same. My muzzle shoulder is a bit closer to the flutes and measures about 21 1/2" from the tenon shoulder to muzzle.

FYI you can cut into the flutes and have an adapter or shoulder added on as needed.

Awesome yeah thanks all for the responses a picture - don’t want to derail. I’m ordering a 20” tikka from EuroOptics and wanted to cut it down to 18” and not go into the flutes. Just wasn’t sure how much of a cut I could get without going into the flutes, but was hoping for 2” and then finishing with the Airlock.

I agree @pods8 (Rugged Stitching), definitely have seen people cut into the fluting and add a shoulder as you described. I’m hoping to avoid the flutes just for my own personal aesthetic preference. Will probably end up at 16” into the flutes in the future

Once its screwed up against a can, esp. if there is a cover on it, you won't even notice imho.

This is a 223 threaded 1/2" both because of the flutes and also because some 223 cans are 1/2" threads so I retained the option to use them.

I did this same thing my 243 just like this and she still shoots better than me. Mine was a roughtech
