[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2865402, member: 68875"] Sounds like a combination of truths (wait time and cost), and a combo of bad gunsmithing, poor installation practices, poor quality suppressors, and user error (cleaning, POI shift during removal/reinstallation, bullet strike, and heat/mirage). I have multiple thousands of rounds with my suppressors. I take them off between shooting trips, and swap back and forth between rifles on the same trip. I have NEVER had POI walk from my zero. I have cleaned my suppressors twice. Fill it with CLR and let it sit. Rinse with water and repeat as necessary. Never takes more than a few hours. And actual time spent is maybe 10-15 minutes of working time between letting them soak. As for bullet strikes, either an improperly cut muzzle thread, incorrectly installed or loose suppressor, or incorrectly sized bore diameter. A properly sized, installed, and tight suppressor will not do this. As for heat, yes. They get hot. With a cover, the mirage is hardly present with 3 shots. Let them cool like any other barrel, and no issues. I shoot mine all the time with no hearing protection. At a covered range, they are a lot "louder" than out in the open. My own rifles still surprise me on how quiet they actually are in the field. [/QUOTE]
