I had the pleasure to test out one of these "Wylie Kanz" moderators designed, machined, and built by one of our very own.. @Bullysyclone
The moderators are named after his Basenji (or barkless dog as they're called (how fitting right?) .... Wylie
When I first got the moderator , I wanted to post something but I had not used it yet but that's the impression it hit me with right off the bat, the I've got to tell and show everyone impression!
The craftsmanship, tolerances, colors, and materials are all top notch.
It's machined I believe he said .003 over .22, not like the off the boat Chinese moderators which are typically the next caliber up. The other thing is, they're chambered, his own design, probably could touch on that more himself if you were to ask that way I don't butcher it up.
I would have thought the box was empty had I not purchased some evol tools off John as well, this can is LIGHT! AND YES, that is real carbon fiber, no fake wrap nonsense.
Today I finally tested it.
I brought down my hps which is humming redesigns at 50 fpe , I brought down my hps factory can which is hollow, the Minis can which is baffled and then the Wylie Kanz moderator.
It is easily 10 times quieter (EDITED FOR THE ABSOLUTE FOLK, I cannot actually quantify/scale the improvement as the decibel meter app I have been using has been wonky) than the factory hps can and substantially more quiet than the mini!!! It's also shorter than both! It simply turned a 50 fpe .22 into a whisper. (Science states that a change in DB by the count of 10 from a given number is 10 times louder, this IS SCIENCE, this IS FACT. This is a way of counting or measuring something that increases rapidly, or exponentially. So every increase of 10 dB on the decibel scale is equal to a 10-fold increase in sound pressure level (SPL) which is what Db measures). Near silence is 0 dB but a sound measured at 10 dB is actually 10 times louder, If a sound is 20 dB, that's 100 times louder than near silence.)
If anyone is looking for a top notch moderator this is the one to buy, all my rifles will be getting one and thats fact.... oh did I mention the threads?! Good lord I could sit and just thread this thing off and on its adapter all day, you can tell that care is taken in machining when these things are made, it's clear as day.
The ones he will be producing are aluminum and carbon fiber, I've attached some pics at the end.
EDIT: FOR THR RECORD, My 110c 0db made my evol mini louder than it was using the factory moderator.
