As previous, was this test ever done? Also, any reviews/tests on the two moderators currently manufactured by Lawrence Precision, the Neon and Titan?
Introducing Freyr and Devik Moderators to the UK
- Thread starter Edinburgh Rifles
- Start date
I have one in .30 cal on my .270.
Don't think its quite as quiet (ok, that's not very scientific!) as my previous ASE SL5 but the balance of the set up is soooo much better.

That's all I need, can the threads be swapped?
Mine is in 1x14 but I believe all the common threads are available
I Particularly LOVE the rear facing SLOPED surface of these mod's. ...... I am perhaps a bit of a stone-age chile but I still use a red filtered powerful lamp as an integral and important part of my night hunting gear, attached onto the scope of whatever rifle I chose to take out (generally my .22K-H Anschutz 1700) via dedicated clips/mounts. In each and every instance though I am challenged significantly by the flare-back reflection of my lamping light off the rear flat faces of any and all of my several moderators!! This would destroy my vision at night and obliterate the images I am trying to get a clear and accurate view of, UNLESS I use a simple cardboard cone that I have constructed out of a loo roll centre and black electric tape as a wrap which I slide over the rear end of the moddy before screwing it onto my rifle muzzle. This cone shaped black surfaced attachment effectively ensures the powerful lamp light is reflected away from my line of sight through the scope and in general, over the rifle.
I have NEVER understood WHY silencers are almost ALWAYS finished with this 90* end baffle facing the shooter for just this reason. I mean, only a few years ago powerful battery fed lamps (red filtered or not) were the only option and effective they were too, so I cannot have been the only one to have suffered through this reflection thing .....??? Anyway, to address that or not, these Norwegian mods may be a Godsend to the likes of me who STILL use a lamp and hunt alone!... Amen!
ATB ....... and shoot safely

One thing here though, I see that the core of the moderator is, to my eyes, uncovered Aluminium, no internal anodising!? I have had one or two erosion burn marks, near the muzzle of my rifle, on the internal core of a silencer I bought many years ago and it was also made of aluminium, but with that one all internal surfaces were coated in black anodised material. It was an 'end of barrel can' (purchased from Adenborne I seem to recall) and I was surprised and even somewhat annoyed and never used that mod' at the end of my .17 Remington again.
Just a thought, but it is a serious reservation n my part here...

The first section is titanium which doesn't need coating. I think that the aluminium baffles would be anodised, but they're not dyed black in this case.

Are you certain about anodising being on the inner surfaces of this new moderator core please 'takbok'..??
I noted that it was NOT mentioned in the spec. as detailed by 'Edinburgh Rifles'.... Also, just for further information purposes, the burning of the baffle(s) on my earlier, all aluminium muzzle can who's core looked not wildly dissimilar to this Norwegian one by design, was experienced on the outside of the rearmost baffles two and three from the rearmost, really heavy duty first baffle. But like I mentioned before, ALL the internals of that old, damaged moderator were anodised and deep coke black in colour.

Best to ask Edinburgh rifles but any half decent company would make sure they were anodised to make them look nice.
This advert says anodised:

The anodising doesn't last all that long inside the moderator anyway. If I look inside my ATEC CMM-4 I can see bare aluminium in the high wear areas. No big issue.

If it's still shiny, it's probably anodised. If it wasnt anodised, it would've gone dull as it oxidised. Anodising doesnt have to be dyed, people just prefer it as it looks pretty!
All surfaces are anodised
The internal is done in a fetching gold colour to befit the quality....
The titanium is naked as it should be
You should be aware that anodising is only useful as a coating to protect from moderate corrosion
It will not hold up to the 60k psi and F hot flame front every time you pull the trigger....unless of course the bulk of the blast has been cooled and redirected by a cunning piece of 5 axis CNC's titanium, which will never show any sign of erosion.
Heavy use will show signs of erosion in any aluminium moderator, but it these it is so minimal as to not warrant concern or discussion
just continue gazing upon its beauty as you sit in you high seat..
