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. Unbeatable sound performance, unparalleled ease of maintenance and servicing, light weight, high strength, historically accurate CHECKMATE-QD mounting, and incredibly competitive pricing are the user benefits of the CHECKMATE-HD suppressor.

Key points :

• EZ-LOK™ QD mounting interface and adapter included

Yankee Hill Machine Increases Their ASA Sponsorship Level

Sunday, June 4th, 2023

Easthampton, MA: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is excited to announce that Yankee Hill Machine has increased their sponsorship to ASA’s highest Tier 1 level for 2023. They join Silencer Shop and Elevated Silence as ASA’s third Tier 1 sponsor.

“YHM is proud to be a continued partner with the American Suppressor Association,” said Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine. “They are the front lines for suppressor advocacy and they step up to the plate whenever a bill is introduced that would impede suppressor ownership. YHM and the ASA will continue to fight until civilian suppressor ownership is legalized in every state.”

“THEY ARE THE FRONT LINES FOR SUPPRESSOR ADVOCACY”

— Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine

As a third generation family business, YHM holds true to their original goal of helping those who served. Over the past 70 years, YHM has established a reputation as a world class rifle, suppressor, and accessories manufacturer, as well as a full service OEM manufacturer. They offer high-end durable products at an affordable price-without sacrificing quality.

“Chris, his brother Kevin, and the entire team at Yankee Hill Machine are devoted supporters of suppressor rights and the Second Amendment,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of ASA. “Over the years, we’ve had tremendous success working directly with YHM to help legalize suppressor ownership and their use by hunters in New England. That said, we still have a long way to go. With partners like YHM, who consistently go above and beyond, I’m confident that one day we will reach our goal of making suppressors legal in all 50 states!”

Become an American Suppressor Association Dealer Member Today

Saturday, May 27th, 2023

ATLANTA, GA: For $85 a year, your business can join the fight for pro-suppressor reform by becoming an American Suppressor Association (ASA) dealer member. By joining the ASA team, you can do your part to help protect and expand your right to buy and sell suppressors.

When ASA was formed, suppressors were legal to own in 39 states, and legal to hunt with in 22. As a direct result of our work, suppressors are now legal to own in 42 states, 41 of which allow their use while hunting. Our work doesn’t stop there.

When ATF tried to extend the CLEO signoff requirement to all applicants (which would have effectively banned all NFA items in most major cities), ASA beat their proposal and helped get rid of CLEO signoffs entirely. When Virginia and New Mexico tried to ban suppressors as recently as 2023, ASA was there to stop their legislative attacks. When UPS stopped shipping suppressors and when YouTube changed its policies and deleted suppressor industry accounts and videos, who do you think intervened?

At the Federal level, suppressors are once again under attack. Senator Bob Menendez Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman continue to push legislation that would ban the sale, manufacturing, transfer, and possession of suppressors nationwide. We will fight this tooth and nail to ensure their tyrannical legislation never becomes law, but we need your help!

Join now and you will receive:

• A profile on the ASA Dealer locator map

• ASA Dealer window decal

• Educational poster for your store

• Permission to use ASA’s logo on your website • Invitation to select ASA sponsored events

ASA’s Newest Tier 1 Sponsor: Elevated Silence

Sunday, May 21st, 2023

Santa Rosa Beach, FL: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is pleased to announce that Elevated Silence has increased their sponsorship to ASA’s highest Tier 1 level for 2023. They join Silencer Shop as ASA’s second Tier 1 sponsor.

Jim Hood, Founder and CEO of Elevated Silence speaks to their Tier 1 Sponsorship of the American Suppressor Association, “We’re investing in ASA’s future, which is Elevated’s future. Securing the rights of law-abiding firearms owners to purchase, possess, and use suppressors is common sense. It’s foundational to our country, to the market, and to this entire industry’s success. ASA’s hard work makes this possible, and we’re proud to support Knox and the team. We pride ourselves in punching above our weight, and hope the rest of the industry will match us in support of the fight for our industry and our Second Amendment rights.”

“WE’RE INVESTING IN ASA’S FUTURE, WHICH IS ELEVATED’S FUTURE.”

— Jim Hood, Founder and CEO of Elevated Silence

The search for a suppressor that does it all led gun enthusiast and businessman Jim Hood to one thought – if you can’t buy it, then build it. Jim founded Elevated Silence and developed a multi chamber technology that effectively redirects gas away from the bullet as it travels through the length of the suppressor. This in turn yields the absolute minimal effects on bullet trajectory and stability, which in turn yields a consistently accurate suppressor over a myriad of calibers and weapons systems.

“Elevated Silence may not be a household name just yet, but their commitment to suppressor advocacy and the Second Amendment is second to none. As ASA’s newest Tier 1 sponsor, they are putting their money where their mouth is, joining Silencer Shop as one of ASA’s top supporters. Jim and the team he has assembled are masters of their craft, with an assortment of world-class suppressors in their catalog. We expect big things from Elevated Silence, and are thrilled to continue building our partnership with them,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA.
