The Mute Suppressor: 3D Printed and Polymer<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve seen silencers made from all manner of materials, with assorted effects and durability. We’ve seen\u00a03D printed silencers<\/a>\u00a0before\u00a0many<\/a>,\u00a0many<\/a>\u00a0times. We’ve even seen one-off\u00a0plastic silencers<\/a>. What we have yet to see yet is a\u00a0commercially available<\/em>\u00a0polymer 3D-printed silencer. Mute aims to change that. When we first heard \u201c3D printed plastic silencer\u201d our first thoughts were with 22LR. The relatively low-pressure (albeit dirty) caliber makes some sort of sense. While we’ve seen advancements in home-built rimfire silencers largely based around resin printing and lamination of epoxy to critical parts, the folks behind the Mute Suppressor are aiming higher\u2013as in aiming for higher pressures. 5.56mm pressures. The Mute will initially be available in 5.56, 9mm, and 22LR.<\/p>\n


\n\"The<\/a>
\nThey claim their proprietary polymer, D28, combined with the low-pressure operation of the silencer, is up to the task.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the information currently available on Mute’s webpage:
\nThe Mute integrates self-thermal regulation via the Thermal Shroud function that regulates heat for less mirage and reduced muzzle rise, recoil, and sound compared to an unsuppressed weapon. Our proprietary D28 material and next-gen unibody construction methods deliver the highest level in all details and ensure best-in-class performance. The baffle-less design creates a Venturi Effect. The more rounds you fire, the more air flows through The Mute.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Something we noticed while watching some renderings is that the Mute appears to be reverse-threaded\u00a0ala’ Area 419<\/a>\u00a0while the device itself features standard threads. This means that you won’t inadvertently remove your muzzle device while detaching the silencer.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFor pricing, we’re starting at the affordable $599. Other details currently remain murky\u2013but no worries, we have a pair on the way. We’ll be testing their 5.56 silencer with a short-barreled rifle and see how she performs. Will this be worth gracing your safe once you add on the $200 tax stamp? Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
