Finally got my Airlock in...

Well, I finally got my Airlock in. I knew they were small, but dang. Here it is on my 16.5" Howa Mini in 6mm ARC. Last year I used the UM OGL on this rifle (the OG doesn't fit the #3 sporter barrel), and the balance point with this Airlock is a worlds different. If I remember correctly, I had to remove about 6 ounces from the buttstock. I had previously added fishing weights back there to balance the rifle with the OGL installed. The rifle went from right at 9 pounds to roughly 8 pounds now. I haven't had a chance to shoot the Airlock yet to compare it with the OGL, but I will say the OGL performed great for me. I took 11 deer with it last year, and there were plenty of times I was able to fill my two-deer daily limit because the deer simply didn't care about the suppressed shot. I'll get some side-by-side audio of the OGL and the Airlock on this 6mm ARC soon, because this thing definitely has a bark with a 16.5" barrel.

Bottom picture from left to right:
- Airlock 6.5 5.7 ounces
- Ridgeback Defense Rhino X (Amazing 5.56 can) 11.7 ounces
- AB Warthog 5.56 9.03 ounces
- Banish Backcountry (trash can IMO) 8.22 ounces
- UM OGL. 15.17 ounces

I really like my nano and zg7. Really awesome how much lighter these new 3d printed cans are vs some of the older stuff I have is. Like the same weight as an adapter.

The nano is almost silly small. It’s crazy.
