| Is the Gemtech Trek any good, I've seen them for 300 and would like feedback if they're worth the stamp? |

Well, I'll come out of hibernation for this one just to save a fellow AZHTF Arfcomer some money. I've had a TREK for a little over a year now mounted on my XM177E2 clone (11.5 barreled full auto). If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy it again. Although built like the proverbial Brick Shithouse (be aware it's heavy for it's size) I'm not happy with it's sound reduction. I'm now looking for a better (quieter) suppressor for AR/M16 use. Although I don't know which suppressor is better (yet), I think you could do better. So much for post 20,000. C'est la vie.

There's nothing wrong with Gemtech. It's amazing how subjective sound suppression can be. Gemtech seems to be louder to the shooter at times but to the non-shooter they tend to be very quiet.
For an inexpensive can for 7.62 and 5.56, it's hard to beat a Silencerco Specwar 7.62. It's a tank but man that thing is quiet for any caliber below 30. |

You and I have different versions of inexpensive. LOL
