Not being very suppressor savvy and seeing these at the recent NRA show, I was curious what the suppressor crowd has to say about them so far.

It is still in the stock photos and look we touched it reviews portion of a new item.

It seems to be not heavy but not lightweight, not small but not huge, and I cannot find suppressed db numbers.

The way they make it is new and it takes 7 days with a super machine to make them. This may be the coolest thing ever, I am not seeing anything that gets me excited.

First can made by DD using new manufacturing techniques means I would wait and not be the first person to buy one.

I wouldnt' be the first to try. Tons of proven designs out there.

But just because I've read a ton about baffle design over on some of the form 1 forums. I'd be curious as to what this baffle design looks like.

quote:
The new DD WAVE sound suppressor is named in part for its advanced cascading “wave” baffle geometry, which more effectively attenuates sound than simpler baffle styles.

What I found interesting was the locking collar was the serialized part. The tube and baffles are replaceable parts.

This is the way all new suppressors should be manufactured (and many are).

Ever since the Gem-Tax issue came up, baffle strikes have been killing both the suppressor and your tax stamp. This way, at least you don't have to register for another serial number.

I know, I was a victim of this issue. Because of the older design and serial number placement, AAC could not just fix the insides or do a re-weld job (baffle strike) and send it back. Now I have a tax stamp that goes to whooppee.

So suppressor manufacturers can't make a replacements with the same serial number like manufacturers of firearms receivers can?


If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either Wink

Who changed that? The government or the coalition of suppressor manufacturers?

I sent DD this:

"Looking for a new suppressor. Read everything I could Google on the DDWAVE: weight, size, caliber, construction, full auto rated, but NOTHING that I could find is published about what bbl length/caliber combinations it's rated for.

So, for MY usage purposes, is it rated for any/all of the below:

5.56, 10.3" bbl
300 Blackout, 8" bbl
6.8SPC, 10.5" bbl
.308, 16" bbl

If not rated for those lengths of bbls, then I need the minimum bbl length for those cartridges that it is rated for. I am confident that I am not the only consumer wanting to know that info."

I just received this back:

"Thank you for contacting Daniel Defense. Our engineers have tested the DD Wave with barrel length from 10.3” to 24” length barrels with no issues. This is with calibers from .223, 5.56, 7.62, .308, 300 and 6.8. The only barrel length you have listed below that I am not sure on is the 8” barrel. I would have to get with our engineers to see if there would be any drawbacks or issues with using the DD Wave with such a short barrel length."

The reply IMPLIES that a 10.3" 300WM combination would be OK or even .308 Winchester/10.3". If that is true, an 8" 300 Blackout would be fine. That would be one hell of a strong suppressor in my opinion. I remain doubtful.

I suspect their "300" refers to a "300 blackout" chamber, not a "300 Winchester Magnum" chamber.

I'd have to agree, but if you are contemplating using it for a Winchester Magnum, I would ask before assuming ... I don't know but suspect pressures for the 300WM would be much higher than any other cartridge listed.


If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.
