After 2 plus years working with Tim at SAS, we have came up with what I believe is the best special purpose suppressor for night hunting when decibel reduction is the highest priority. I named it the "Nocte" which means "night" or "nightime".
I challenged Tim with building a suppressor that was first and foremost quiet, accurate and still manageable in length. What we ended up with was a suppressor that is 2" in diameter and 6.25" long. The Nocte is a 6mm can to accommodate the vast majority of varmint hunters shooting 22cal and 6mm rifles. The Nocte utilizes the proven TOMB system for accuracy and repeatability with the exception that it is only compatible with the "A Brake" or "Talon S". The initial blast chamber was shortened to accommodate more baffles. Weight of the Nocte is 17.1oz., and is all titanium.
The Nocte sounds incredible on my 243 AR10, it sounds pretty much identical to my 18" 556 with the Sentinel MX!!! We did some milspec testing with the BK2209 and the sonic crack was SUBSTANTIALLY louder at 100yds than the muzzle numbers! Tim is going to do more testing to get more solid numbers and verified results.
Another thing is the Nocte had very minimal blowback and the rounds in the magazine was almost perfectly clean!
If someone would be kind enough to post pictures I'll gladly text them to you.
