Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[6.5284 Guy]

Since the 7mm and 6.5mm versions are within 1oz of each other and only differ by 1/2” of length, how many of you are considering the 7mm version for your 6.5mm guns? Sure seems like if you own or plan to own both calibers it would be a no-brainer. Or am I missing something from a performance standpoint?

I had the same thought and bought a 7mm even though it's only going on 6.5 and 6mm rifles. It's so small and will be a little more quiet than the ZG6.5

Here’s a size comparison of all three suppressors, with the 7mm being the longest at 5.5 inches.
5.5", 5" and 4.625"

Does the titanium 1/2x28 adapter come with all three or just the nano?

Just the Nano. We will have it available for purchase though.

Why didn’t you go with 1/2” as standard on the nano?

Most factory 22 Creeds and 22 ARCs (bolt) are 5/8-24.

I see. I would bet 223 still out sells those by a pretty wide margin.

223 definitely outsells the others, which is why we’re including the adapter. Our goal is for these suppressors to be used primarily for hunting, and most customers running .22-caliber rifles for that use case are using 22-250, 22 ARC, or 22 Creed. Because of that, we prioritized hunting rifles while still fully supporting 1/2-28 platforms.

You must not have read the 223 hunting thread here. Haha

I’m excited. Gonna order one at go live.

5/8-24 for the 22 cal can is the right choice. That's an easy fix to go from 5/8 to 1/2. All of my 22 cal hunting rifles are 5/8.

 

[h2so4]

I did my .223 in 5/8 as well.

 

[Split toe]

I’ve been begging him to make me a 9” 30 cal for my mini fix in 300blk

Yes, I would love that as well!

@DannyB

Would it be safe to say that the 6mm version would be slightly smaller and lighter than the 6.5 when it is released? If so, that’s gonna be the ticket for my Ti 6x45. It needs a lighter suppressor.

 

[khuber84]

I think a super lite pistol can needs be on the menu too! No booster necessary!

I really like the idea of your suppressors for hunting. I would also really love to see your technology applied to a can with the sole intent of maximum suppression. I can only imagine the cans you guys could make if ultralight weight was not one of the main focuses. I love shooting suppressed. I enjoy just shooting long range. I would love a can that gives maximum suppression ,that is of a reasonable weight, and that doesn't heat up at a crazy rate.

 

[DannyB]

@83cj-7 Yes, the 6mm will be shorter and lighter. Based on the performance we’re getting from the Zero Gravity Nano, we can shrink the form factor without sacrificing much performance.

@SUD1988 We’ll eventually implement our tech into a suppressor designed with the goal of being the quietest version possible. Maybe a “Zero Gravity Ultra” or something along those lines. We’d likely offer it in both 6.5 and 30 cal but that's a ways out.

Quick product update: We did more testing today on a Zero Gravity 6.5mm and ran 100 rounds through it as fast as we could on a 16" 6.5 PRC. The result? Zero damage to the suppressor, including the blast baffle. Because of that, we’re reducing our PRC barrel restriction from 18" to 16". We’ll still keep the overall 16" barrel minimum and the 15 RPM firing rate. We’ll post the video if anyone wants to see it.

I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these and hear it in person.
