Gem-Tech Trek

[huntandjeep]

 So friday I bought a Gem-Tech trek suppressor for my AR-15  Gem-Tech's website  ( and the guy i bought from) says it can be used on .22lr, .17hmr, .22/250, and .223. My question is has anyone used this suppressor on these calibers? Is it worth getting my barrels threaded.  Thanks Allen

Yesterday I went to the Camp Patriot steel shoot. I saw probably 20 suppressors of all kinds and makes on alot of guns. Yes, it's very well worth it to get your barrel threaded in my imagination. I want one in the worst way. They were so quiet and COOL ! Also, RBROS were there too. Maybe get their thoughts ? I shot one on a 22 Walther a couple weeks ago, nice.

Doesn't get any better than Gem-Tech when it comes to suppressors, now you just have the 6-10 month wait.

 That's what ive heard about Gem-Tech. The place I bought it from said 5 to 7 months. Said he's got a couple stamps back in less than 3 months (i wish). Pretty sure i'm going to get the barrels threaded. I know the right way is probely a dedicated suppressor for each caliber but  $$$

We run .308 cans on .223/5.56, 6.5 Grendel and 6x45 all the time. Gem-Tech told me before we did it that it would take a measuring device to actually tell the audible difference. Their the ones that suggested a .308 can. Kind of cool to have a sales rep tell you not to dump all the cash on a can for each, to just get a .308 can and run it on all of them.

Here you go, add $200.00 for the "Stamp" and then the paper work fee. I don't know if Gem-Tech charges a fee. I have never purchased directly through them.

That's the gun that I shot one on. The suppressor was made/bought in Bonners Ferry. He paid $175 + the stamp.

Question Biggerhammer, are you running your cans on a bullbarrel 308 ? My 308 is a bullbarrel and my Rock AR is a pencil barrel ? Will they swap and fit each other ? Me thinks not. Oh, I have a Surefire brake on my 308.

The 223 cans work well on the all that you have listed with a an exception.  Most of them are a little small volume wise for the 22-250's.  A 30cal can works better on them from what I have found.  A 223 can on a 22lr is way overkill, but it works.

I use a 30 cal can on everything from a 22-250 to 308's.  I don't own a 300WM, but I have used the same can on multiple 7 Magnums or various sorts.  338 can goes on the Ultramags and up. 

Campmeat, it depends on which surefire brake you have.  They have one that is meant to be a mount for their suppressor, and although under it is still 5/8x24 thread, its not enough should to really support a standard suppressor well.  The bull barrel one is a piece of cake, thread it and go.

Ok, thanks. My brake model number is : MB762SSAL/RE does that help ? Thanx.

Do you want your pictures of you guys from Camp Patriot saturday ?

That is the suppressor adapter version.  Would have to see what diameter your barrel is underneath it, but I am thinking its not going to work out to tell.  Most of the smaller AR barrels are around .750-.775 diameter.  The threads are .625, so it only leaves .050" per side to but up against.  It would suffice, but just not be the best situation is all.  Would be better off using a Surefire can and the adapter you currently have.

I wouldn't mind seeing the pics.  If you want to email them to me that would be awesome.

 is the .223 can just not as effective on 22-250?   I know its over kill for a .22 but it will work till I get a dedicated .22 can

$550+tax for the can $200 for the stamp $10 to get fingerprinted

[rbros]

Correct, not enough volume for the 22-250.  It will work, but its not going to get the noise dampening of a larger volume can would.

Well i guess i wil have to save up for a .308 can. Which means now I need a .308 to go with it
