Cheap suppressors on the way

[Halligan]

Just occurred to me, but what line of European suppressors is Lyman referring to?

So did some internet sleuthing, and some are pointing to it being the Nielsen Gun Parts “sonic” line. Danish company. Anyone of our overseas roksliders have any experience with these?

 

[Halligan]

I have the same question. And where will they be available and what will the process be?

Based on a Reddit thread I saw, seems to be end of the month… allegedly

I sent lyman/sonicore an email. They said check website, first models due late February. They will be posting a list of dealers on website

I emailed capitol armory to see if they’d be carrying them. They said no plans to do so at this time. I hope that changes.

I would 100% get one or two of these to live on AR Platforms I have.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a budget friendly heavy use 556 can?

Tons of people love that can (the K version specifically). The one downside is it can be gassy. Not flow through or low backpressure at all. The K length will mitigate some of that. The Stacey’s Mom K from Resilient is similar to the Polonium K but allows you to change end caps to reduce backpressure (still not “flow through”). They also have a full size version.

A-10 suggested above is also good. These are the best three options I’m aware of. I think there are a couple YouTube videos comparing them.

I use an ab a-10 and it’s rock solid for 400 bucks.

Nope, but I've had good experiences in general with otter creek.

The have gone up a little. 480.

Actually mine is the 5.56 which is 450. I use two. One on an AR and one on a bolt 223 wylde.

Stoked to find out. With the $200 tax gone, the market is going to totally change over the next few years.

At least until the Dems take over the White House again.

OTB 12oz can for 399 is awesome. I couldn’t care less about MFG’s being undercut. Charging 1200 for a 3D printed piece of TI with relatively simple engineering is retarded. However, just like every other thing marketed to hunters - the markup sells.

I dont think we'll ever see really cheap 3d printed ti suppressors for a few reasons.

Have you considered how the price might be influenced by the economics of the material and equipment cost to 3D print titanium suppressors? A quick googling says $2-400/kg for titanium powder and $300-1000k for the printer. Then there's the cost for substantial energy and time use for the lazer. How many cans must be sold to break even, much less makes a profit?

Edit- google says it takes 14-16hrs to print a kg (35 oz) of titanium, at a cost of about $7.50 at average US energy rates.

Prices will come down eventually as TI printing becomes more affordable and mainstream, but id guess it will be 5+ years with the current demand.

I don’t think $800 to save 4 ounces works out for me either.
