Cheaper alternatives to Surefire Warden

[u/WeightedDips95]

I’m looking for a blast diffuser similar dimensions/ style as the Warden. Was wondering if anyone knew something similar that doesn’t cost as much. Not sure what our options are up here. thanks

[u/-DirtyCanadian-]

I’ll be coming out with one soon. It’s in production now

[u/WeightedDips95 → u/-DirtyCanadian-]

No way. What’s the price going to be? Any pics or other details you can share? 

[u/-DirtyCanadian- → u/WeightedDips95]

Price is TBD, I’m aiming for more affordable than a warden, but it will be more than a TNA fake can since it will be such a unique product. I’ll release more info soon.

I’ll be posting frequent updates on my instagram @dirtycanadian_

You can talk to me about the product there and even have a say in the design

Please educate my ignorance, will the exhaust gasses from the device affect the aim/trajectory of the bullet?

I mean its a blast foward device.

Just get a Midwest Industries blast can.

Or a strike industries linear compensator.

[u/WeightedDips95 → u/Livid_sumo]

I don’t love the look of the Midwest ones but they do seem to be the cheapest. Might end up going with that. It’s for a 22 anyways

Dead serious you might be able to find something on ali baba or have it custom made by one of the CNC shops on there if you just want a blast foward can

Warden is semi unique as it integrates over another muzzle device. TNA (True North Arms) made a beauty 3 chamber brake with detachable muzzle shroud that I picked up in the "before times." I'm not sure if they still make them. If you're not too picky and just looking for a muzzle device to direct the blast forward I can also vouch for the quality of S&J (Canadian company) linear compensators. TNA and RDSC would be where I'd start my search for something like this.

I was looking at the direct thread Warden. A lot of other companies seem to over qd blast shields, but I’m not looking to drop $400+ for a system like that. 

I’ve looked at the S&J linear comps but the diameter seems to be substantially smaller that a Warden. Like I think sub 1 inch vs 1.5. I want to go for the thick choadie look 

[u/therowdyirishman → u/WeightedDips95]

I see now that you're intending to put this on a 22LR, that's an important detail. 22LR is a filthy round and managed to fully obstruct the huge first port in my TNA brake. It's a pita and super toxic to remove too. I would not recommend the S&J, or anything with smaller ports for a 22, look into wide open flash cans if all you want is the short & thicc aesthetic.

[u/WeightedDips95 → u/therowdyirishman]

Ah I see, yeah I was kinda wondering about that. Thanks for the heads up!

I run the warcomp and blast warden on my .223 trail and it actually does make a difference, nice to have for an indoor range. It is expensive for what it is, but it looks cool and works so win win.

[u/WeightedDips95 → u/jmz-jmz]

That would be my ideal setup but that is like $600

[u/jmz-jmz → u/WeightedDips95]

Yeah, it is expensive
