SilencerCo Introduces New Titanium Suppressor: The Scythe-Ti

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023

August, 2, 2023 — West Valley City, UT — SilencerCo is excited to introduce the Scythe-Ti, SilencerCo’s first suppressor completely constructed from titanium. This premium .30 caliber silencer is extremely lightweight and short, with the body of the suppressor weighing just over six ounces and measuring under six inches in length. The real magic, however, is that the Scythe-Ti boasts impressive sound suppression while maintaining this featherlight quality – a unique accomplishment for suppressors in its class. It’s the optimal choice for suppressed hunting, long-range precision shooting or days at the range. The Scythe-Ti will be shipping later this month and available at local dealers.

With no barrel length restrictions and rated for calibers all the way up to .300 RUM, the capabilities of the Scythe-Ti are extensive. It’s finished in a Type II Anodize and rubbed with oil for durability and resistance to chipping or flaking. The Scythe-Ti also features a new single-port anchor brake to give added recoil reduction while maintaining a minimum length. It ships with a custom titanium direct thread mount in 5/8 x 24 to keep the overall weight impressively low.

“Titanium has a lot of benefits over other materials,” said SilencerCo Product Manager Andrew Herbst. “Not only is it freakishly lightweight, but it also cools down a lot quicker than steel so it’s easier to handle after shooting. Plus it looks sleek.”

The Scythe-Ti takes sleek to the next level by replacing wrench flats with a special tool that threads onto the top of the suppressor for easy detachment. It’s also anodized on both the inside and the outside of the suppressor to reduce the common sparking that comes with titanium.

The Scythe-Ti shines in sound performance on 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .300WM and .300 BLK calibers. When used with the SilencerCo ASR Mount, it’s the quietest suppressor SilencerCo has ever tested on .300 WM.

“When we started our testing for the Scythe-Ti, we were aiming to dominate the titanium market in minimal weight and length,” said Herbst. “We were happily surprised when we found out that the Scythe-Ti also dominates in sound suppression. Overall, it’s a very well-rounded suppressor.”

Product Specifications:

• Rated for calibers ranging from .223 REM/5.56 NATO to .300 RUM

• Weighs 6.3 oz. without anchor brake, 7.3 oz. with included anchor brake

• Measures 6.16” in length

Griffin Armament Launches M4SD-L : Tubeless GATE-LOK 5.56mm Suppressor

Thursday, July 27th, 2023

Griffin Armament’s new M4SD-L (LIGHTWEIGHT) sound suppressor is the first tubeless laser welded suppressor to be introduced to Griffin’s versatile Gate-LOKTM lineup. This design makes the M4SD-L lighter than other Gate-LOKTM suppressors. Combining ECO-FLOWTM baffles, Gate-LOKTM mounting system, and Pressure Reduction Cap results in a lightweight, durable, and performance-rich next-generation suppressor.

The M4SD-L features Griffin’s Gate-LOKTM mounting system which allows for rapid installation and removal with the ability to be mounted to most USGI-spec A2 NATO compensators, as well as all Griffin proprietary Gate-LOKTM muzzle device options. The GATE-LOKTM system is faster and easier to use than standard A2 interfaces and ensures a strong, concentrically aligned mount with minimal POI shift and exceptional repeatability.

Each individual baffle in the M4SD-L has been tuned to provide superior sound reduction and incorporates Griffin’s patented ECO-FLOWTM technology that reduces back-pressure and increases flow. This makes the suppressor host firearm operating system more reliable and largely un-affected by the suppressor and provides cleaner breathing air to the operator’s face. Each baffle has been individually tuned and engineered for a specific purpose, unlike a classic stack design. With the M4SD- L, each baffle has an independent function to improve performance.

The patent pending Pressure Reduction Cap features high performance internal and external flash reducing features, as well as optimally tuned gas vents which not only enhance flash reduction even further, but also improve sound performance in conjunction with the ECO-FLOWTM baffles.

When asked about the suppressor, Austin, head of Griffin Armament product development said,

“We manufactured the M4SD-L for demonstration to the military and provided many units to the military for as yet ongoing T&E. This GATE-LOKTM model was intended for experienced end users seeking greater optimization for real world conditions. This suppressor is now available for the consumer and export markets. The M4SD-L combines a wide range of innovative Griffin engineering developments to bring an incredibly well- rounded suppressor to market. The M4SD-L also shows our current customers our continued commitment to the Gate-LOKTM suppressor lineup, and to it’s development and optimization.”

True Velocity Acquires Suppressor Manufacturer Delta P Design

Monday, July 24th, 2023

Texas-based ammunition manufacturer TV Ammo, Inc. (“True Velocity”) announced today it has acquired advanced suppressor technology company Delta P Design (“Delta P”).

The strategic acquisition, approved by the True Velocity Board of Directors earlier this month, further strengthens the company’s portfolio of American-made advanced, lightweight ammunition technology and next-generation weapon systems.

True Velocity’s initial focus was on the deployment of advanced, lightweight polymer-cased ammunition solutions in the domestic and international defense markets, as well as the U.S. commercial market, but this merger with Delta P, on top of the previous acquisition of Lone Star Future Weapons in November 2021, demonstrates the company’s accelerated expansion into a growing global market for advanced weapon system technology made in the United States.

“True Velocity owns world-class ammunition technology, world-class machine gun technology and, now with the acquisition of Delta P, world-class suppressor technology,” said True Velocity President and Lone Star Future Weapons Chairman Craig Etchegoyen. “The only rule we have, when it comes to providing the very best technology to our warfighters, is that it must be American-made. With the acquisition of Delta P, we now have the ability to provide our warriors with superior ammunition, superior weapons and superior suppressors, all made here in America.”

Delta P’s innovative, American-made centerfire rifle suppressors and accessories enable enhanced weapon performance through weight, sound and flash reduction, while maintaining optimal functionality and maneuverability. It is the only suppressor technology available that has been proven to function with full reliability on machine gun platforms. True Velocity expects to optimize Delta P’s suppressor technology for military and commercial applications in conjunction with its innovative recoil mitigation technology and advanced weapon system designs. Foremost among those weapon systems is True Velocity’s forthcoming .338 Norma Lightweight Medium Machine Gun, which is the product of more than 12 years of design and development work at General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems and more than 300,000 rounds of test firing. Lone Star Future Weapons licensed this and other weapon technology from General Dynamics in 2021, prior to Lone Star being acquired by True Velocity.

“At Delta P Design we have partnered closely with True Velocity for several years to develop signature suppression solutions for their various weapon platforms,” said Delta P Design Director of Business Development David Strong. “We are excited to take this next step in our relationship, which will allow us to propagate our unique technology to users and partners worldwide. We believe that the combination of Delta P Design suppressors with True Velocity lightweight ammunition and weapon designs, will provide the U.S. military and allied nations with a critical overmatch capability, along with helping to solve many health and safety issues to the benefit of our warfighters. We are equally excited at the opportunity to bring these technologies to the civilian firearms market, where health and safety are likewise important.”

True Velocity acquired all outstanding equity interests of Springfield, Oregon-based Delta P on a cash- and debt-free basis in a reverse triangular merger. The merger is treated as a tax-free reorganization and closed in July 2023.

“We’re extremely excited to make Delta P part of the True Velocity family,” said True Velocity Chairman and Co-CEO Kevin Boscamp. “They’ve demonstrated a culture of innovation in the suppressor space that matches our standard of excellence and will only enhance our ability to take ammunition and weapon technology to the next level.”

True Velocity’s composite-cased ammunition is designed to offer extensive advantages over traditional brass-cased ammunition, including exceptional dimensional consistency, significantly enhanced accuracy, reduced heat transfer, and an approximate 30 percent reduction in weight over traditional brass-cased cartridges. The company’s advanced weapon technology offers a patented impulse-averaging recoil mitigation system and other innovative features producing improved performance and extreme precision.

Griffin Armament Announces CHECKMATE-HD Rimfire Suppressor

Tuesday, June 20th, 2023

Watertown WI, 6-14 , 2023 –

Griffin Armament is releasing the CHECKMATE-HD™ suppressor, a 5.8 ounce 5.7×28 pistol rated rimfire suppressor with CARBON-GARD™ technology- the subject of a pending patent. The 5.8 ounce, 5.04″ overall length, suppressor, features a 17-4 heat treated Eco-Flow baffle system, front cap, and integrated EZ-LOK™ QD mounting system. The tube is 7075-T6 billet machined and hardcoat anodized, for maximum strength. The CHECKMATE-HD™ is the new market leader in rimfire suppressors.

The CARBON-GARD™ technology seals the entire baffle core with high temperature Silicone O-rings. This allows the suppressor to be more user maintenance friendly than any other rimfire suppressor on the market. After 2000 rounds are fired, the inside diameter of the tube and outside diameter of the core are still spotlessly clean for ease of disassembly without specialized tools other than a US Quarter.

Extensive workup was done to the baffle system resulting in a baffle system with zero first round pop and a market leading sound pressure level (SPL) on rifles and pistols.

When asked about the suppressor, Austin, head of Griffin Armament product development said,

“For its very small size and weight, the CHECKMATE-HD™ is probably the most efficient .22lr suppressor in the world. We are proud to bring back a Checkmate rimfire suppressor that can carry the lineage of our initial, 17 year old suppressor model forward into the future. Built on technology related to a recent note-able baffle technology patent, and with pending patents on the mounting system and user serviceable technology, this suppressor delivers unbeatable performance and value in today’s market. We specifically targeted the previously market leading rimfire suppressor with this model. This is the new market leader in the rimfire class.”

The CHECKMATE-HD comes with an EZ-LOK 1/2×28 coupler and is field ready out of the box. The only supporting accessory outside of various threaded barrel end couplers, is a CAM-LOK® rear mount, making this suppressor very simple, and straightforward for end users to understand and utilize.
