Our suppressors are in principle maintenance free. Thanks to the Titanium's excellent strenght, temperature and corrosion resistance our suppressors withstand the high temperature and corrosive gasses from gun powder. Our tests and experiences from extensive use, proves that soot does not stick to Titanium as it does to other metalls or alloys. In some cases slow burning propellant might build up inside the suppressors. If so, it can be cleaned in ultrasonic bath or by using a regular suppressor cleaning foam and thoroughly rinse it with water and allow it to dry completely before use. This easy-care design ensures long lasting performance and durability.

Except for Vanward Ultra Light, all our suppressors are rated for magnum calibers. For .338 Lapua Magnum, only the Hunter Pro .338 LM and the QD55 - 338 are approved.

Choosing the right suppressor starts with understanding your specific needs. Consider what's most important for your shooting experience:​ ​ - Do you prioritize a lighter and/or slimmer suppressor over maximum noise reduction?​ - Is reducing mirage more crucial than achieving better noise reduction?​ - Do you need compatibility with both compensators and suppressors?​ ​ Once you've pinpointed your key priorities, we can help you narrow down the options to find the perfect suppressor for you.​

Our suppressors are designed to endure extreme temperatures and pressure. In our tests, we successfully fired 200 rounds from a bolt rifle with 1.5 to 2-second intervals between shots without any issues. While we don't recommend shooting 200 rounds in serie with your rifle, due to potential damage to the firearm, our suppressors can handle it.

All our suppressors are engineered with a unique fail-safe design.​ We have incorporated a fail-safe design at the muzzle of our suppressors. In the unlikely event of an incident, the energy redirects away from the shooter by the front busting or popping away. The first chamber, facing the shooter, has been tested at pressures exceeding 600 bars, confirming that Vanward suppressors are genuinely among the world's safest. ​ We believe in striking a balance between safety and efficiency. Our suppressors not only offer safety and durability but also optimum performance relative to their weight. Vanward is a brand that makes no compromises, uniting the best of both worlds. ​

We strongly advise removing the suppressor from your rifle when it's not in use. This recommendation is for the protection of your rifle, not because of any concern related to the suppressor. Moisture combined with gunpowder residues can create a corrosive environment that may damage your rifle. To ensure your firearm remains in top condition, it's best to store the suppressor separately.​

First round pop can be described as a louder noise from the first round fired.​ This phenomenon can be described as a "secondary explosion" caused by unburnt propellant igniting inside the suppressor (Following shoots will face an anaerobe atmosphere where this might not happen)​. First-round pop varies with outside temperature, relative humidity, lenght of barrel and type of gun powder and/or bullet weights used.​ ​

The suppressors itself does not change the point of impact (POI) of the rifle if installed correctly, but the weight of the suppressor on to the barrel might cause shifting POI.​ This varies a lot from rifle to rifle based on the type of barrel, calibers, length and diameter of the barrel.​ ​ Normally a heavy weight suppressor will cause a greater shift in POI compared with a lighter one.​ A shorter and/or heavy barrel is less affected of added weight at the muzzle compared to a longer and lighter barrel.​

Bring your rifle to a qualified gunsmith together with the thread insert and the suppressor and have it threaded.​ Make sure that the threads on the barrel has a snug fit and no slack to the thread insert of the suppressor​ ​ It is also very important to make sure that the diameter of the barrel by the muzzle is minimum 2 mm wider that the diameter of the threads used to ensure a proper landing surface. I.e ø16mm barrel should have ø14mm threads.​

Yes, you can.​ ​ Adding a heat cover will delay the temperature rise on the outer surface but will increase the suppressors temperature due to reduced cooling​ ​ Unlike other light alloys, the titanium can withstand very high temperatures without losing its tensile strength to a level where it might rupture.​ ​ Vanward suppressors can withstand the pressure force and fatigue from shooting at temperatures where other materials will break down. ​

Yes, You can but you need to make sure that the bullet stabilizes in your rifle to prevent baffle strike and/or dangerous situation.​ ​ You should know how to, and to check before you fires a round through the suppressor.​ ​ Be careful and don’t take any risks and use proper PE protection.​

Make sure the ports are aligned with the horizontal plane of your rifle and scope​. ​ Indexing compensators and muzzle brakes is done either with shims or with the counter locking nut, if equipped with it.​

We use H6 tolerance for our threads, which fits most rifles. However, there are various thread standards. If your suppressor unscrews while shooting, first ensure that you have tightened it securely on the rifle. ​ ​ If it continues to unscrew, your threads may be at the lower end of the tolerance range. In this case, we recommend either replacing the thread-piece with a tighter tolerance one or re-threading the rifle. In this case, you can order thread insert with a tighter tolerance from your dealer
