The new Silencer Central Banish 46 is a modular suppressor designed for use with a wide assortment of rifle and pistol calibers, and testing has shown that it offers best-in-class noise reduction—more than 34 decibels in its long configuration.

Made of titanium and Inconel, the Banish 46 ($1,249) provides the ultimate combination of durability and weight reduction. It weighs only 16.3 ounces in the short configuration of 7.9 inches, and 20.4 ounces in its 10-inch configuration, and is available with a variety of mounting options, including direct thread, a quick-detach muzzle brake attachment or a Nielsen Device.

It can be easily and disassembled for configuration changes and cleaning, and since it’s made of titanium, you can easily clean the baffles in a tumbler, ultrasonic cleaner or by hand with a brush and solvent. Reassembly is just as easy, thanks to the keyed and indexed baffles. This guarantees that each one will be line up perfectly for optimum performance.

The unique design of the Banish 46 makes it the one suppressor to fit any gun—rifle or pistol. For more information, visit silencercentral.com.

Hardware Review: Browning BAR MK 4 Hunter

First, the Browning Automatic Rifle addressed in this article is not the renowned 1918 BAR of military fame. I’ve actually seen an American Rifleman editor hunt hogs with a reproduction 1918 BAR.
