Thunder Beast Arms Corp

338 ULTRA SR

The 338 ULTRA SR is TBAC’s high-performance .338 caliber suppressor. It offers class leading suppression levels for big magnums like .300 Norma and .338 Lapua Magnum, a light weight design, and our “SR” quick attach/detach mount that offers locking secondary retention in addition to absolute return to zero.  It was Accuracy International’s choice for the ASR submission rifle. Note that Thunder Beast does not list sound reduction in the spec chart below and instead lists the measured sound level because the unsuppressed starting point changes based on muzzle device used.

  • Caliber: up to .338 cal
  • Length: 11.0 in.
  • Diameter: 1.775 in.
  • Weight: 20.2 oz.
  • Factory-Tested Sound Reduction: B&K PULSE data with .338 Lapua Magnum 135-138 dB at the muzzle, and 124-128 dB at the shooter’s ear
  • Materials: Grade 5 titanium
  • Finish: High temp Cerakote
  • MSRP: $2195 (includes one mount)

Yankee Hill Machine

Phantom .22

The Phantom .22 provides superior sound reduction thanks to a newly designed baffle system. Features include a shielded, interlocking baffle stack made from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel, a two-part outer assembly with an aluminum blast chamber, and a tube which houses the baffle stack. The rear of the blast chamber serves as the takedown tool for the muzzle cap. The Phantom .22 can handle rounds up to 5.7x28mm while only weighing four ounces.

  • Caliber: 17HMR-5.7×28
  • Length: 5.5 in.

  • Finish: Hardcoat Anodized
  • MSRP: $388

Yankee Hill Machine

R9 9mm

When YHM set out to make the R9, the goal was a 9mm suppressor capable of handling high volumes of fire while able to run other calibers such as .300 BLK and .308 Win. Primarily focused on suppressing 9mm (specifically submachine guns and SBRs,) it was made at a budget-friendly price while maintaining the durability one expects from YHM. The R9 is capable of being used on a handgun in conjunction with our Nielsen booster assembly.

  • Caliber: 17HMR-9mm /.308 Win
  • Length: 5.2 in.
  • Diameter: 1.562 in.
  • Weight: 10.7 oz.
  • Factory-Tested Sound Reduction: 123 dB (9mm 4.25” barrel)
  • Materials: 17-4 Ph Stainless Steel
  • Finish: Matte Black Cerakote
  • MSRP: $494
