Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[Presswood_936]

My primary hesitation with the airlocks has been that I assume they must be pretty high back pressure to achieve such good suppression in the small packages. The primary downside I’ve experienced with cans is seeing premature pressure signs and sticky bolt lift from what seems like back pressure fouling or contributing to condensation in chambers. Maybe that isn’t the case but I’d trade some suppression, size, and weight if necessary to deal with that shit less.

This comment had me curious about back pressure , so I just slapped the zero G on my 12.5” 6.5 Grendel to test vs my Hyperion K and harvester evo .

For what it’s worth the evo and zero G had nearly identical ejection patterns and similar gas from the ejection port . The Hyperion k had less gas but was louder and sparked more .

Deleted the last post — quick update on the .22 prototype. It’s handling .22 Creedmoor without issue, and we’ve got a lot more testing ahead. Check out the video of Dioni shooting it on his .22 Creed over on our YouTube page. What kind of testing would you like to see next, and who should we send it to for review when the time comes?

Please elaborate on this. I'm interested to learn more about what you've experienced. It seems to my feeble mind that premature pressure signs and sticky bolt lift would mean the can is doing a great job of capturing pressure from the muzzle.

This thread is probably the most I’ve seen it discussed. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/suppressor-causing-chamber-condensation.367653/

I don’t know for certain what’s causing things or if minor differences in backpressure would make any difference even, it’s just something that I’ve wondered about. Nobody should take my ponderings as a real reason to not buy an airlock.

I have an airlock 6.5 that should be approved any day now. But already curious on this new 22cal version. I realize it’s still in testing. Can it handle a 16” 22creed? Have you got any db(A) readings yet and if so what was the bbl length and ammo used?
Thanks
