Any of you fine gents have some good pics to share on your bolt guns?? I'm hopeful my F4 will clear soon and pry looking to be a primary bolt gun piece.. Lots of searching and very little found unless I'm completely missing a thread somewhere..? I'm thinking a new Bergara B14 might be in order... "cries in Siete"..

My Tranquilo still has about 6mo left in jail so my local machinist buddy helped me out with a build:

The completed setup. Attached File That tube and cap came from SDTA so that would be where I started. He charged me for his time only so that skews the costs. If I had to guess it would cost at least $200 for him to manufacture the whole shebang. |

I own 3 TranQuilos and a hand full of other cans. None are close to design, quality and precision as the TQ. It does everything well, but I think my favorite is the mitigated blowback. It works, and is very helpful for keeping my suppressed LaRue’s clean. The way it locks up to the brake is also really impressive. I bet you’re going to like it. |

It's too heavy and the proprietary mount is cost prohibitive. |

It functions flawlessly with a predictable & consistent POI shift. No discernible difference between my can and a Sandman. Form 1 Titanium suppressor |

Again, at $399, the TranQuilo is great, and I'm pleased with it. |

Meanwhile, all my other cans happily swap back and forth amongst all my other guns. Again, at $399, the TranQuilo is great, and I'm pleased with it. It's only problem is weight. Now if Mark would just make something similar to the SureFire Warden or a flash hider. |

Now if Mark would just make something similar to the SureFire Warden or a flash hider. The fact that it can't be direct-threaded is another. Just my $.02 |

Having a less-than-jizz-worthy opinion about something you own does not a troll make. You should know. So tell us grand master what’s a better $400 suppressor? As for the $99 brake you’re now upset about I’m pretty sure that is below average for the brake, there’s zero brakes that accept suppressors outside of a manufacturer? If you direct thread that’s fine, good for you but are all your rifles threaded with one thread pattern? How did you determine the other suppressors are more accurate and do you have any pics of your testing to show? Are there better suppressors than the tranquilo? Pretty sure I said there were. Are there better suppressors at the price point? I think not but I’m open to new ideas. |

I'm guessing if any changes were made like lighter, or mounting there would be negative effects on what their target out come was all about.
It's all about what the end user is looking for. |

I have 4 tranquilo's and god knows how many muzzle devices. I know the girl is a little heavy but with that comes durability. The one thing I think sets the tranquilo apart from the rest is the lack of excess back pressure when not running a adjustable gas block. My other cans have a ton more blow back and if you drop a mag with rounds still in it they are coated with crud,with the tranquilo this is not a issue,I personally think that leads to a cleaner more reliable rifle. I also don't keep track of the zero with each can they are machined well enough to be interchangeable with little to no zero shift. Take it for what you will but at 400 these are a steal,I have a hard time not calling in my uu kit numbers and getting a couple more...the lack of back pressure and the interchangibility are what really sells it for me.

Getting closer. My 2nd one was sent the end of Oct 18 |
If you seek to do battle with me this day, you will receive the best that I am capable of giving. It may not be enough, but it will be everything I have to give, and it will be impressive.

ML . How much zero shift should one expect if running the TQ on a 16in tAR barrel seeing as it's much thinner then the Stealth? |
