Thompson Wasp

[Flyincedar]

Anyone ever used the Wasp 22 suppressor from Thompson Machine? I've used some of their other stuff, bring that we are a Thompson dealer, but never a Wasp. Thompson came to the machine gun shoot that we held back in August, but I was running the range, and did not get a chance to try out anything myself.

Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks

I recommend it only after you have a normal full size 22 can. This is more of a niche can.

Have had a few normal sized cans, looking at this more as a nice light can for my daughter's crickett .22

If you want ill do a video of it on my savage FVSR. This will give you an idea....

I'm not sure I like the whole wipe thing, and the grease. Seems like it smokes a lot. I've used their Zephyr XL, which would work well on her heavy barrel 22. That rifle is way too heavy for her to carry though. Shes almost 11, but pretty small. Maybe I'll just make her a can.

I'd love to see it on the savage if that's not too much trouble.

Yup Ill make you a video. Im curious to how it sounds dry on the rifle. No mess.... we will see.

Awesome. I'm laid up at home after shoulder surgery yesterday, so I'll be looking forward to it. We make 9mm, .223, and .308 titanium cans, but haven't messed with 22 stuff yet. The test is still in testing and working well, would like to get those moving before I mess with 22. In hindsight, 22 may have been best to start. But we had to make a can for our MP5SD, so we started with 9mm, then kept getting 308 requests.

Ideally, I'd like her to end up with a rifle and a can both built by daddy, but I'll just buy someone else's 22 can until I can get around to it. I lean towards Thompson because when they came to our shoot, they took time to show her some of the cans, and let her know how they work, etc. She really enjoyed that.

your transition wipe was actually kinda cool, gave me a little glitch-in-the-matrix vibe.
