So is the Nano alright to use on an 19” 22 creedmoor?

Shorter barrels are harder on suppressors.

All the testing has been on a 16” 22CM. It’ll be fine.

The website answers this question.

The answer is yes, down to 16”

Sweet!! Thanks, that helps. I saw the 16” reference and was thinking it meant up to 16” or max and not as a minimum barrel length.

Anyone have a b&t tiger 22 to compare? Its shocked me how quiet it is on my 223. Itd be awesome if this was even quieter.

Yes. The Airlock is notably quieter than the B&T on my Tikka 20" 223.

The B&T is an incredible value at $400 though.

Nice! I know 223 is never really hearing safe. At the same time, shooting a bolt action 223 with the b&t is very comfortable without ears.

AR rifles are never really hearing safe due to the "port pop" and noise level of the Gas operated action.

on a bolt gun 223 can definitely be reduced well below 140dB (OSHA's general threshold for a single occurrence) and be made tolerable without hearing protection. I still wear ear pro but It's sooo much nicer to shoot with only a set of foamies in vs double ear pro like I do if shooting unsuppressed, and doing loud things day in and out at work.

I recently got to swap out the nano onto my 223 trainer and I dropped about 12oz and 3" off the muzzle. I didn't do extensive testing but I did shoot a few rounds with the KGM R30T I've been using and then I immediately swapped on the nano.
MAYBE It got a tiny bit louder with the nano. probably just a tiny bit louder. honestly though it's pretty freaking close. I didn't swap back and forth or do side by side or anything. but my initial thought was that it BARELY got a little louder, definitely no chance of going back. I just put the nano on my scale and it came in at 3.2oz! literally the same weight as just the steel muzzle device required to mount the R30T...

impressive performance indeed.

@AirlockIndustries - i know you are working to get new machines online and ramp up production. Do you have any ETA on the Jan 1 pre-orders? Appreciate the communication and looking forward to using the Nano.

They sent an email out last night with some updates. Quoted below.

New Year Production & Shipping Update
Our 1/1 pre-orders are currently in production, and about half of the Nanos have already shipped. Next week, we expect to begin shipping some of the 7s, and we are pushing to have everything fulfilled by the end of April.

My 1/1 Nano showed up at SOT Tuesday.

Went to go do transfer paperwork and check it out. It is a joke how small and light it is.

Will be swapping it in for a DD wolf hunter on my 223ai, dropping 5 ounces and 2” overall.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

Mine is at the SOT too. I am going by to do the paperwork on it tomorrow afternoon.

How in the hell are you guys buying these? Or any Airlock Suppressor for that matter?
