I have silencers from Gunworx on both my Howa's 308 and 300 win mag.

They are well priced and work perfectly.

There are no universal standard. It could be metric or imperial and usually barrel diameter dependent. AR type rifles are usually imperial but other rifles could be either.

You can also definitely consider a Hunt Buddy from Silent Hunter in Bloemfontein. I own one for my 223 and a friend has two (303 and 243). Excellent value for money, very good service from Henk, and very good performance.
Henk will make the silencer with whatever thread you specify.

The diameter of the cut thread is different on the standard (1/2″, 28TPI) and heavy barrel (5/8″ 24TPI) profiles.

I would contact Martel and put a Recoil Reaper on.

Haha, with my luck the thread on my AR PCC is 1/2 by 36 and on my 223 AR it is 1/2 by 28.

So ja there are odd ones around.

I have used a CMG Recoil Reaper. It is very quiet and really takes off the recoil. It is an excellent product, but is not a reflex Suppressor so does make the rifle quite long.

I have also used Arctic Suppressors. They are about the same price as the Recoil Reaper, and also works very well.

I have not used the Warrior yet, but am very interested in trying one on my 300Win Mag as I have heard very good things.
