Which suppressor

[7.62 Gunner]

I think I've narrowed it down to the omega or a paladin hd by griffin. Whichever can be broken down to clean is going to be the one

All of the top suppressors are fully welded for a reason, given my experience with user serviceable I would avoid it.
You can still clean a welded can, and even send it back in for a serious cleaning after years of use

From the manual of my Harvester EVO: "Functionally similar to a car muffler, cleaning of the internal volume and baffles is not necessary".

Well if the consensus is it doesn't need cleaned I good with that. I'm learning about these things and I'm trying to make an informed decision. I do appreciate the comments. I'm wanting to build a 300blk out and I've read they are dirty so I thought it would be a good idea to be able to clean it

I would generally agree that sealed 30 cal can is best. I have Omega 300s and using them with centerfire rifle ammo is no concern.

In fact I have a new unused Omega and I've been planning on weighing it and a used one to see if there is much of a weight difference from carbon buildup.

BUT...you do bring up a good point about 300 blackout, particularly subsonic 300blk. Subsonic 300blk is basically like a more aerodynamic 45acp. It is dirtier, and you are right to at least consider the effect that would have on a sealed rifle can.

My personal solution is that I run a user-servicable 9mm suppressor on my 300blk as all I ever shoot is subsonic rounds. That way if it gets gunked up, it can be cleaned.

Anyway, I've been happy with the Omega 300. I like that I can run a .223 sized flat cap and it's a decent dedicated .22 cal centerline can.

Hope that helps.

Isn't comparing the banish 30 point of impact changing because it's configured as a 9" vs a 7" like trying to compare two totally different cans?

Looking at their site it says the are fully welded and sealed

Don't get hung up on the marketing if "user serviceable"; it's simply not needed and a rifle can. If it was that important all manufacturers would have their rifle cans user serviceable.

It's a cheaper process to thread sections to put together than it is to fully weld a can.

Possibly but they use it as a selling point. What's the point if you have to re establish zero?

Again, marketing gimmick.

Like Mike D said, they market it as a quick easy modular system to drop a few inches if you're wanting lighter/shorter.
Turns out it's not easy to take apart quickly, special tools are required which you have to buy separately, then you have to go rezero your rifle.
I bought into the modularity marketing and it was a mistake

Personally I wanna be able to clean it out. I don't want a piece of carbon falling into my barrel on a hunt.

Comparing it to a car's muffler is silly to me and not a good analogy as your muffler isn't attached to your engine in way that it's deposits could fall back into your engine causing issues.

Plus a lot of companies will clean there welded cans out for you if you send them in to them.

Get a sonicator off of Amazon and you can do it home with relative ease.

Anyone have experience with diligent defense enticer titaniums? I've had one in jail since July 1st. Dealer claims they're as good as a thunderbeast, but it was much less expensive. Currently have a dead air nomad and love it.

That has never happened to me in the 12 years I've been hunting with mine.

What is silly to me is the ideas people get into their heads that have a likely .01% chance of happening.

What are you shooting that carbon fouls your suppressor so bad, at least in your mind?

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt its more time consuming to weld an end than thread
