T8 went up in smoke

[jigsaw 11,809]

so need a replacement in the future.What would you guys and gals recommend to replace this heap of shite.

I'm shooting a 223 and not too well up on such matters.I think its better to ask rather than look it up as experience is better than the written word.What type of moderator is best and what kind of price and the important question,wheres the best place to get it posted to Ireland from,thanks for your time people.

look at the ase ultra,s not cheap but far better quality

[jayjay 264]

thats a bit naughty mate......i have one of these on my .222, and fingers crossed i havent had any trouble with it yet, but have heard of a few cases where the moderator has rusted from the inside out, which is bad news...... when i get home after useing mine i always take it off the rifle and give it a good spraying with oil inside and out,

 

all the best,

Different sizes to suit calibre

i'm no gun expert but,

it was advice given to me by someone who has had guns along time, and i dont plaster it in heavy oil, just spray it out with WD40,

and been doing it since i've had it,which has gotta be around 8 years now, and had no problems, so cant be a bad thing, but your entitle to your opinion,

 

cheers,

WD 40 is what is recommended by manufacturer.

Thanks lads,will decide what to go for soon,then start saving,lol.

I use a PES and a T8 and to me therfe is little difference in sound moderation,obviously the PES is S/S and as such should last longer,but,if you put your mod in the airing cupboard or on the boiler when you get in it will get rid of all of the moisture that is inside after you have shot it. I did used to use WD40 but found that the zero would take a couple of shots to get back on,so stopped that,I have had mine a long time and absolutely no sign of rust.Also Jiggy if you send it back to...............................http://www.reflexsuppressors.co.uk/ They will do a deal on a new one as standard.

Yup, as Martin says, heat the fecker up first. I either put my T8 on top of an oil filled rad, or in front of a fan heater. No need to get it to the point of melting the rear bushing but getting it good and warm aids in riding the mod of moisture. It ALSO helps move the WD40 around inside the mod which does it's job, water displacing. A good oiling on the outside then and it should last years & years& years.

[jigsaw 11,809]

being honest guys when Im going shooting its up in the morn and straight out the door as I have an hours drive to get to where im going,so heating a mod might be a bit of a dose.I think I'll look into the predator line of mods as they can be taken apart and cleaned I believe.

I like my ASE Utra just to add another vote for it.

 

Its short, compact and lighter than my old T8.

 

I seem to remember it was about £200?
