Which Sound Moderator and why?

Titanium moderators in the UK

Tried Quicksilver titanium moderators in the US and they are amazing. The problem here in Europe appears to have been that manufacturers just copy one another's design, only adding better materials and machining, but the design is 30+ years old. In America, on the other hand, they have always looked for better ways to suppress weapons and continue to research. I tried moderators in .223, .243, .308, .30 Ultra Mag, Cheytac .408 and .45. All with impressive results. Quicksilver will start manufacturing their moderators here in the UK in the next few months, so check their website for further information (www.qsmsilencers.co.uk). The .223 moderator weighs only 280 grams and the .308 only 360 grams. They are much slimmer and nice looking than the huge cans we see here. I have A-Tec, but can't wait to swap. The .223 moderator is only 6" long and the .308 is 9" long. So, in this case, size doesn't matter.

If I can hi-lack the thread a little. I have a very pretty .243 Steyr Mannlicher which I don't want to ruin the looks of. . Is it possible to cut the barrel for a moderator without ruining the looks of the rifle?

I had in mind being able to screw the cut bit back on - is this possible?

The answer to your question is yes and No!!

No you cant screw the bit you cut off back on practically it is imposable but what you can do is have a female made to fit the newly cut male thread. You could have it profiled as the end of the old barrel was and completely smooth or the better option would be to have it Knurled

I've gone for a .30 Wildcat Predator 8. By buying different bridges for different threads and delrin bushes for different barrel profiles I can now put it on 4 different rifles with 3 different calibres and threads. The bridges are £68 each, however, but this is rather less than a whole moderator!
