    Can for .338 TRG 42

    Any thoughts on who makes a can for the TRG 42 in .338? Must mount with out moding the barrel. Any real world time with the can/ maker you suggest?
    Thanks for your time

    Surefire

    Surefire makes a .338 Lapua suppressor and a TRG-42 specific adapter. No modifications are required.

    I have seen numerous Surefire cans in use and have a 556K personally. I have a 762K on the way for my TRG-22, though that one will require rethreading to US threads.

    My Surefire can displays no (as in nada, zero, zilch) point of impact shift at 200 meters. This is the only Surefire can I've put on actual paper at distance. I've shot numerous other Surefire cans, including the 556AR and the 556K, and all of them have still been on 8" steel at 200 meters. That's using USGI M855 Greentip that shoots about 5" at that distance so it wouldn't be hard for any POI shift to pull rounds off of the 8" steel. A friend of my has a 762K can on a GA Precision rifle and he has no point of mpact shift at 300 meters.

    From what I'v seen first hand, compared to other manufacturers cans, the Surefire cans are the only ones I'd hang off of a centerfire rifle.

    The all steel AAC .338LM Titan is the quietest centerfire rifle can I have ever heard. I will buy a rifle just so I can own that can.
    I keep hearing about my gun rights, but I just can't seem to find them.

    I have heard the Titan as well, shot side by side to a 762 SD at the silencertest shoot and it was amazingly quiet for a centerfire can.

    Bah, you still tried to gank my Evo-9 though.

    Anyway, SRT Arms will make a .338LM can for you...http://www.srtarms.com/

    I did but that's not a centerfire rifle.... The Evo 9 is the quietest centerfire pistol can I've heard.

    That was the day we shot the Surefire 556K against the M4-2000 for sound, wasn't it?

    The SF has a proven track record on the TRG42.

    Yep...that was the day that my bolt gun with an M42k sounded very similar to an AR with a SF 556 can on it.

    Imagine my surprise when the Surefire didn't sound like a coke bottle with some filler in it when shot side-by-side to the M42k.

    Yeah, shooting the same ammunition, side-by-side, bolt gun (AAC M4-2000) versus M4 (SF556K), no one could tell a sound difference. They both sounded just fine. It's pretty interesting stuff when all the hype get's peeled away on the range.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist...

    Are they readily available to civilians?


    Any links to them, for some reason I can't find info on them.
