Ordered a TBAC Ultra-9 and Ultra-7 a couple of days ago

Just got the Ultra-7 in 6.5 last week, haven't shot it yet. Will post a review once I get it out.

Im assuming these are some kind of fire arms ?

It's all very cryptic.

I'm guessing they are the Gen 2s? There probably aren't any of the original Ultras floating around at dealers anymore. The original Ultras are great cans, and from everything I've heard, the Gen 2s are more better. Is that March to start the paperwork, or can they give you your SNs to start the F4s now?

Yes, Gen 2 versions. I was told that they wouldn't be manufactured until March and they'll be transferred to me on a Form 3.

Guess they're super busy like the rest of us!

If you don't mind a little heavier, I have a couple 7.5" and 8" Accipiter .30 models on the shelf. Also have a 7.5" Valkyrie .30 on hand. And one Wee Willie at the moment (3/4" x 5" rimfire can), though I'll be putting more of those together shortly. That one's not even on the site yet, but I did get around to metering yesterday. Shooter's ear was 118 on a 16" bolt rifle, 122 on the Beretta 71. Pretty good for something about the size of a Sharpie.

Ordered the Ultra-9 in .30 cal FDE and the Ultra-7 in 6.5 cal OD green, both with CB mounts. The only downside is that they won't be ready until March of next year. On the bright side, I want to pick up a couple more SilencerCo Omegas which I really like, and they're available.

Awesome I have a black ultra 7 (6.5) Version should be here by Christmas!!!!! It’ll look good on the new X bolt 6.5 prc I’ve got!

I’ve shot the ultra 9 in (6.5) it’s awesome imho I went with the 7 because I think it will be exactly what I want and I didn’t think I needed the extra 2 inches

I ordered the TBACs for the light weight feature with the idea of using them on hunting rifles but I'll certainly take a look at the models you mentioned. I've been pursuing the idea of getting dedicated suppressors for every rifle I own, the ones for which a suppressor would make sense of course.

Yes the lightweight was a big factor in my decision this will go on a hunting rig as well also the idea of a suppressor for every rifle intrigues me
question for @MachIVshooter Would a suppressor affect the accuracy of a purely bench rest rifle say a savage F class 6.5-284 Norma?

Expect a POI shift with any can, as you're changing barrel harmonics, but a good can should not affect accuracy, and a good mounting system will make that POI shift consistent so it can be accounted for.

Ray and Zak do lots of long range work, that's what they built the ultras for primarily. I do to, but varmints, not paper targets, and usually not further than 700 yards.

I *can* build all titanium cans, but I don't like the limitations or cost, and the weight penalty with a well designed 17-4 stainless can really isn't that much since the stronger material allows parts to be made thinner. I list my weights with no mount, since Bravo mounts vary greatly, but I can build 1.5x8" Valkyrie (.300 win mag and full auto rated) at 14 ounces, 16 ounces for the .300 RUM rated 1.6x8 Accipiter.

Bravo adapters are anywhere from about 1 ounce for titanium direct thread to a half pound for Keymo adapter & muzzle device, so that's a major variable.
