UM/S2H/Suppressors/Scopes and More!

[9.3koolaid]

I was able to shoot a prototype suppressor this weekend in Clovis, New Mexico. It was a lot of fun, and by far my best match finish to date. The Shoot 2 Hunt guys / US are still trying to figure out a name. After over 200 rounds with this can in all kinds of weird shooting positions, I figured I would post my thoughts.

The ability to spot shots with this can is phenomenal. The recoil is comparable to a muzzle brake. The short length and integrated (printed in) muzzle brake allows the gas to travel at faster speeds thru the brake portion and cuts recoil insanely well. I love shooting with brakes, but the concussion gets to me after 100 rounds in a day. This can has zero concussion. Even in shooting positions where I had large boulders just to the side of the can I still has zero concussion.

The recoil impulse is hard to describe. Its a perfect blend of the sharp snap of a muzzle brake, and the soft elongated push of a suppressor. I call it a "soft snap". The match had a lot of awkward positions where I used the triple pull bipod on uneven boulders, and a bag on the top of the rocks for rear support. I was still solid enough in all my positions (besides when my bipod would slide off a rock) to see all my shots from 240 yards to 900 yards.

The caveat of this can is that its not hearing safe. Its not meant to be. The reason this can is so comfortable to shoot is because the brake portion functions so well. In order for it to do this, the gas has to be expelled at a higher rate. As you extended this can length and made it quieter it will transition to more of a push like other suppressors.

Currently it is 11.8 oz, and 5.125" OAL. We will be making the muzzle adaptor out of Ti, and this should drop the weight closer to 10 oz.

We had some national champion PRS / NRL hunter people shoot it and they were thoroughly impressed with the unique recoil impulse.

I'm personally very excited to use this can for all my future shooting competitions, as well as hunting. I think the can would be a great fit for my hunting style.

If anyone's got a clever name for it, lets hear it...

We don't have it on the roadmap but, we are also working on a "dangerous game" can, big bore, similar to OG size, optimized for larger cartridges....

I saw 375 in the road map, however as the Hornady guys said when they were on the podcast 450 bushmaster is one of their biggest sellers nationwide as deer round in straight wall states. Will it be 458 big..?

How about the keel? Keeps things nice and even

Yes, PMPF for short.

@Salmon River Solutions Looks like you dont have any ports in the up orientation though? curious on thoughts for the port orientation and also how is it timed?

Also curious if another layer of ports would make it even more effective? It does seem like the one row of ports is becoming popular with options from dead air, able co, and I think LPM going that route too lately.

After 3 of us in the shop here have shot a match with the can, I don't think you can improve the recoil impulse. One of the changes that are on another pair of test cans are rotating the ports upward to cut muzzle rise, and adding a flat to be able to get the can square.

The need for actual top ports is negated by rotating the ports more vertical. If you added an actual vetical port, good luck seeing impacts through the blast that comes out into your view. This is why there aren't a fully vertical port.

Its timed with a taper lock system, and a retention ring.

Ken, is this listed as The ONE in the US Roadmap webpage?

Is that a reflex can? Or just straight muzzle forward suppressor? I don't think my theoremS with brake is ear safe either. It is only 5.5". I've been around some the TBAC ultra5, didn't feel they were safe as well.

No Reflex, 5.125" in front of barrel.

So basically this is a moderator? If not hearing safe, but reduces blast/recoil.

Call it the super model!

The 5” 22LR can metered at 139dB at the ear on a 21” barreled 223 today.

Still a suppressor… LOTS of suppressors aren’t “hearing safe” with supersonic cartridges.
