Good move!

Did the paperwork for a DA Mask and a centerfire can today. Thanks to those who took time out to educate me and share their thoughts.

which one?

It's heavy, but quiet. That had it for $350.

Too heavy. You can get a EVO for $600

Heavy doesn’t correlate with quiet. Sometimes to durability depending on what you want to do with it. Either way I’m sure that you’ll enjoy them. You can’t beat $350. I have a Mask and love it.

This one takes a 308 down to 131db. Comparing it to others on the market, that was the best I found. At 25 ounces, it's far from the lightest, but there are a lot of heavier mufflers on the market. It won't see heavy use. I figured at the $350 price point, I couldn't go too wrong. I am confident that the money spent on the Mask was money well spent.

I would look at David Saylors and Liberty suppressors…guy is a guru to all things quiet..

So did you ever decide on a .22 Can Kaleb?
I've thought about getting one for a few years.

I also have a Gemtech GM-22. Also have 2 Dead Air Masks. Like all 3.

Because of them being local and available I got another mask. I still want to try some others but it was the easy button. The more I shoot suppressed the less I care to shoot without. I had a big stray Tom cat come by the barn Saturday. I had my trusty 22-250AI handy but it’s not been chopped and threaded yet. Dang I forgot how loud it is.

Yeah everytime I hear a rifle being shot without a can on it all I can think is "SAVAGES"!!!

You were right John. I didn't end up with a supressor. I ended up with a suppressor. One of two came in today.



For the sober members of the forum, any recommendations on for what to do before I start shooting to make it easier to clean?

About how many rounds do you go before cleaning?

You will have to deal with the lead deposits which is a pain to clean. There is a dip recipe that removes the lead, but I don’t feel like dealing with the lead residue from that process. I coat the parts with TC Bore Butter after cleaning.

I try to clean every 500-600 rounds. I have seen someone else with the same 22RF suppressor that even the gunsmith could not disassemble.

Anyone have a Silencerco Switchback and how does it compare with the others mentioned?

I have a Sparrow and have been happy with it but want to get another. The Dead Air and TBAC are both top runners for me right now but the Switchback is interesting.
