Liberty Suppressor's Pandora brake and SRT Shadow retrofit

So I have this rifle built by John Whidden in .308. It has a 26" 1/10 twist Broughton bbl that was spiral fluted by Karl Feldcamp at Kampfeld Customs ( http://www.kampfeldcustom.com/ ). Karl also spiral fluted the bolt for me, and both were done after chambering. So don't think the way Karl does his fluting is going to effect your accuracy. This rifle shot less than .5MOA when I sent it off and still does. The action is a trued Remington 700 S/A and it is bedded into a Accuracy International Chassis System with a Nightforce 5.5x22x50 NP-R1 reticle scope mounted with Badger rings on a Badger 20MOA base.
When I got this rifle built I had Jered Joplin at American Precision Arms (formerly known as Patriot Arms http://www.americanprecisionarms.com/ ) install one of their smaller muzzle brakes on the rifle. I believe it to be by far the most effective muzzle brake you can put on a bolt action rifle, and I've owned or shot just about all of them. The problem with this is that that brake is timed, and if you don't have a sound suppression device that is the route to go in my opinion, but if you DO have one, it makes shooting the rifle with the can a little bit of an issue. With the brake installed, it can be a real pain in the butt to remove it for installation of the can. So here a year or so ago I started pestering David Saylors from Liberty Suppressors ( http://www.libertycans.net/ ) about building me a brake much like the APA version that had threads on it so I could mount my can over the brake and not have to remove it to utilize a suppressor. With a brake like the APA, timing can be an issue if the can is put on and taken off multiple times, the timing of the brake will "lose it's time" and the ports won't line up as they need to. So after enough buzzing in David's ear, not only did he design a brake that provided for can attachment, he also unveiled his new break through in sound suppression with the advancement of "square portal technology" in the new Pandora suppressor. Instead of a conventional round hole through the center of the can for the projectile to pass through, it is a "square" hole. It takes all the hiss out of the report given off by most suppressors on the market now. I have compared it side by side with my SRT Shadow can and it is very noticeable quieter. I will have some official results to post once the can clears Form IV and I can put them both on a db meter. At only 19 ounces, it is as light as anything out there and quieter than any can I've heard.
Another great piece of kit that no suppressor would be complete without is the TAB can cover. It almost eliminates the pesky heat signature mirage generated by the suppressor after extended rounds fired. You can find more info on all the great gear offered by TAB Gear at http://www.riflesonly.com/store/TAB/index.html
Here are a few videos from the mounting solution David offers, he can even retrofit some cans to work with the Pandora brake. He added an adapter to the rear of my SRT Shadow so I could also use it with the Pandora brake. When my Pandora suppressor clears the Form IV, I'll be selling it and using only the Pandora can.

Very nice, I'd really like to have one of those on my .260 before long.
I stopped by my SOT's place yesterday to pick up the paperwork for a Liberty Shoofly, and I put a couple of rounds through it. He was very impressed with the sound reduction, most of the noise was from the action. My wife was just inside the door laughing. "It sounds like you just snapped your fingers!"

David has some awesome products. Independent testing shows the Shoofly to be one of the very best .22 cans on the market.
Bobby who is that Stud in the third video!

Stud? You're obviously seeing a different clip than I am...
Some of the things that David does is very impressive. There is no way I'm giving up my Black Raven.
