"Warrior" suppressors -- your opinions?
So I picked up a Warrior-brand AR suppressor from my local gun shop. I was told it's South African-made. It looked neatly finished. I ran about 50 rounds of 5.56 through it with no problems, and it's quiet enough for my purposes (to avoid permanent hearing loss should I ever need to fire indoors). It was reasonably priced, but it's not light (you can't have everything, I suppose...) So far, so good.
However, the folks a the shop didn't know much about the makers of the brand, and I'm looking for some more info on them. I'd like to ask them what this can's life expectancy is, how best to clean/maintain it etc.
Any experience with Warrior products? Where do I find them? Any input welcome!
Ciao!
Eddie

They do have a website, I know they were at Huntex as well with one off the other companies.

We did a small independant test on various brands of suppressors a while back.The Warrior did really well and looks great.Very neatly finished.If my memory serves me right they are close to Rosslyn.

Re: "Warrior" suppressors -- your opinions?
Warrior is made in Centurion at a CNC shop. Ive been to the shop a few years ago when they first started and was impressed with the one piece internal parts machining. I also tested one or two at the time, but was looking for something smaller for an AR/LM..

Re: "Warrior" suppressors -- your opinions?
Oops, sorry I only found this thread now. I believe I can give some background.
Warrior is indeed based in Centurion. They make a variety of products, including suppressors, pistol to carbine conversions, flash-hiders and tactical rifle stocks. Their involvement in the arms industry goes back quite a ways, with involvement with Denel, Truvelo and others of that sort. In short, they know what they are doing. Nobelteq are the agents for a lot of their stuff that is available to the public (most notably the P2CC carbine conversions), but the suppressors can be bought at a variety of places, including at Shooting Stuff, where my workshop is based. They also make a lot of custom things for people, like custom rail work on handguns and carbines etc.
The reason the finishing of the suppressor is so noteworthy may be because all their production finishing work is done by a small independent Cerakote specialist in Centurion :) :D :)

Stopped there today, chatted to Warren, very helpful, suppressor quality and finish looks excellent, a few different options to choose from. They make some interesting parts in the workshop for the above mentioned companies..
