Happy New Year All,

Reference the question about cleaning the Quest. I am pretty meticulous about cleaning my firearms and accessories so I have never let more than about 500-1,000 rds go through the suppressor without a thorough cleaning.

It was not bad to take apart - or too dirty after this many rounds through it. I do not have anything to compare it to, but I would say that leading was moderate. There are a couple of proprietary end cap tools (at least one) needed for disassembly. And if not having to use one of these tools is a prerequisite then this suppressor may not be right for you.

As to "noise" ratings. There may be suppressors that under laboratory sound measuring equipment are X or XX percentage quieter. However having been exposed to multiple suppressors over the years its my opinion that all well built .22 suppressors are "pretty much" the same. And I know that is a VERY subjective opinion.

Regards,

Rob
