Are there any that you need to stay away From?

PewScience Is an interesting site..

Guy researches and ranks suppressors.

Avoid Lane like the plague. I know where there are 9 of them and they all leak.

I just picked up an Otter Creek Labs this morning. They're in London, if you want to support some KY boys. The reviews on their products are good.

Likely the next I get will be a OCL hydrogen l 6.5.

Gets good reviews.

Lane's from South Dakota, Shooting them at night looks like a sparklers

Ti?

Nature of the beast?

Someone will post avoid Q cans….

Kevin rubbed them the wrong way…

I dont know Kevin from adams house cat.

But i bought a q fullnelson. I like it.

They must be in demand, The Silencer Shop appears to have about 25 - 30% in stock.

Somebody give some learnings on the QD & Flash Hider doodads that the Suppressor goes over.


I have a Hunters Town rimfire 1/2x28- screw it on- and shoot.

Both mine are direct thread… no doodads needed…

Poor design.

I don’t get anything out of my Lane.
Works fine - lite- good support cleaned etc

My Lane has been back 3 times cuz it leaks last time was blowing gas back in my face from under the cover.They worked it over and now it’s burning holes in my cover.
My new Thunderbeast is in jail looking forward to getting it.

3 strikes for Lane.

CashisKing won’t be happy.

I'm very happy with my Lane.

Some to NOT avoid.

SilencerCo
ThunderBeast
Dead Air

If you have multiple guns needing quick detach muzzle devices, you will have a small fortune tied up in muzzle devices. Learned that one the hard way. Could have bought another suppressor for the same dough.

I'm no expert by any means but it appears the suppressor industry is slowly settling on a universal thread standard for quick detach mount systems that thread into the ass end of the suppressor itself. I don't even know what the thread pitch is, nor do I care - the key words to look for are "HUB mount" and "HUB compatible." No idea what HUB stands for, nor do I care. But if you buy a HUB compatible suppressor, a HUB mount should screw into it.

The actual mounting between muzzle device on the gun and qd mount on the suppressor is a different story. Everyone's system and thread pitch for screwing the two together seems proprietary. Best rule of thumb, at least I think, would be to stick with one brand and product line for all muzzle devices, same as whatever your HUB mount is.

For example, I went with an "SRX" HUB mount from Yankee Hill Machine for my mount that screws into the ass of my suppressor, and all of my muzzle devices are also from Yankee Hill Machine's SRX line.

Any future suppressor, I will have to buy another SRX mount and screw into the suppressor to use it on those guns.

Some of this may be inaccurate, I'm still trying to learn. But a shortcut seems to me, to be getting a HUB compatible suppressor, a HUB mount of your choice, then just sticking with the product line of your HUB mount.

Or you could just say screw it and direct-thread your suppressors. HUB compatible suppressors will also have direct thread capability.

What kind of mount does the “leaky Lane” suppressor use?

They can be had with a true direct thread or with a brake mount system.

Just glad to see the 2 I'm waiting on - aren't on this list.

Surefire RC2 and Dead Air Mask

your going to love the mask

Hope so - wish the form3 was being done faster via Silencer Shop. Still waiting on my "Ready to certify" to even get in line for the wait.

I picked up my mask a couple weeks ago after a 5 month wait. I am very very pleased. I have used it on a cz452 and a FN 502. Tone is great

Mine's going on a Bergara B14R and a yet to be purchased Ruger 45/22

that mask on a 22/45 tactical is awesome, once you swap out the factory fire controls with volquartson

The Deadair Sandman is a Tank of a can. Should hold up to pretty much any 30cal and full auto and last forever... but man it's heavy

Lane 22 centerfire

leaking Lanes, got to love it. good thing there is snow on the ground

sad thing is knowing the problem and still selling those pos cans

they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Pretty good example of that right above...Avoid Lane suppressors....

How can that blow through threads?
Its blurry. But maybe its one of the QD things.

Never saw the need for QD. Just one more thing to go wrong. If thats the case then its gone wrong with Lane for sure.

direct thread, not QD. Poor design

Loved the first Dead Air Mask so much, got two.

It looks like the rear mount is not threaded on all the way. I wonder if there is a thread engagement issue. Out of spec. The Lane suppressors are made to be taken apart so they can be cleaned. Since it's a monocore it could be that the core is not allowing the rear mount to be secured all the way in allowing hot gas to escape. Although I don't own one and have never seen one I'm sure the threads would be fine series like 32 or so TPI. If they're buggered enough to keep them from bottoming out on the abutment it would do it. Something definitely ain't right. It's be interesting what Lane has to say about it. There's two sides to every argument. Not saying that anyone's wrong but something is definitely not right.
A friend of mine builds suppressors and has built them for companies early on before they were set up to do their own. He has a CNC shop and can mass produce baffles and such. He is licensed and sells them himself but they are sort of a reflex design. I built mine myself using baffles I bought from him on a form 1. It's a welded design and the way they're built the baffles are a light press fit in the main body and welded on both ends to keep people from messing with them. It works well but probably heavier than a lot of people would like. There are some good suppressors on the market today.

Wrong. It's leaking between the rear cap and the main tube. There is an O-ring in there that can't contain the pressure and thus the leaks. 224th's can has been in Lanes hands 3X to stop the leak, and it still leaks. They can't fix the problem. Mine went back 2X and still leaked. It was returned to Lane for a refund. I'm happy to say I don't own it any longer.

Why would one purchase a "lane suppressor" in the first place?

Wow

For the same reason anyone would buy a Surefire or SilencerCo or AAC or any of the other suppressors….to quiet the sound and muzzle blast. That’s why people buy a suppressor “in the first place”. 😉

Good for you. 3x Lane had it and couldn't fix the leak?

I'd say you were damn lucky getting your money back.

I do not own one, and will not pay the price one. Stupid money for a something that does cost more then $150.00 to manufacture. I can buy two firearms for the cost of one suppresser.

I've had constant tinnitus for the past 22 years. I'd rather 1 or 2 less firearms and keep it to a dull roar than add to it.

Tho I do suspect my Surefire in jail cost more than 150 to make - American labor wages and all.

CNC's ain't cheap.

Happen to like the otter creek myself

Do you apply the same thinking to everything that is adjacent to guns? ie - optics, mounts, lights, holsters, armor, NV, thermal, etc?

Just do a Form1 and build your own.....

Yeah sure. Laughing.

How much does 3d printed Ti cost?

Wonder what it costs in raw materials and labor to build a Glock?

I like the HUXWRX (formerly known as OSS), design.




The best thing I ever did was swap out my factory Ruger parts for Volquartsen in my MK IV 22/45 Tactical.

All Ruger had to do to make a decent factory trigger pull with their parts was stone the engagement surface of the sear. As it was, when I ran it across a stone it looked like a topo map.

Leaking O-ring? Was it designed by Morton Thiokol?

If you applied that logic to everything you'd have nothing. And maybe you do, or don't that is.

My suppressors add value. I don't give a rat's ass what the actual cost of manufacture was. They are worth the value they add to my shooting. Simple as that.

I resisted the idea of getting a suppressor for years. I thought they were expensive, unnecessary and frustratingly complicated with the government red tape. One afternoon my buddy and I were making our typical northern gunshop loop and I stopped into a small shop in a small town just north of us and saw a 30 cal suppressor for $450. Like all the “big decisions” in my life I made a spur of the moment decision to buy it. I formed the trust online and did the paperwork and 9+ months later I was the proud owner of my first suppressor and hopelessly hooked. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be buying another one this week…..

A few days ago I ordered the .458 Bravo anchor brake for my Hybrid 46 from SilencerCo and I’m looking forward to trying that out on my 338’s and Whelen. The reduction in recoil and muzzle blast that the suppressor alone offers was very impressive so I’m hopeful that the bravo brake offers even more recoil reduction…..which it’s supposed to do in spades according to the reviews I’ve read.

i have a TBAC Ultra 7 and couldnt be any happier. as was mentioned above, its extremely lightweight and works very well. i would caution you going too short more or less eliminates the idea for a suppressor, especially on a 30 cal. if you are going to put a few cans on the same form...then sure, get a shorty, mid size etc but if you are getting just one...i, personally, would not go for the shortest/lightest option based on that alone

and eliminate the mag safety

I'm very much in love with my Lane

low expectations

LOL...

I have three Lane, three TBs, a Bowers and a 22 Sparrow (or something).

I love the Lanes, tolerate the TBs, love the Sparrow and detest the Bowers.

BUT...

If I ever win the lottery... I will buy a Wyoming Arms short, fat, midget can... just out of curiosity.
