Ase Utra Oy from Finland have been manufacturing sound suppressors for hunting, sports and professional use since 1994. Their usual production exceeds over 10,000 units per year and they state that they are one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sound suppressors.
While their products may not be available in the United States and other areas due to import regulations and similar legislation it may still be of interest to see what is going on overseas in the development of suppressors.
Two new suppressors have been developed. The new DUAL556-S-BL (141 mm) is 19% shorter than original DUAL556-BL (175 mm). The new DUAL762-S-BL (151 mm) is 20% shorter than original DUAL762-BL (189 mm). These suppressors both use the newest advanced flow-through technology. This flow-through design is optimal for semi and fully automatic rifles.From ASE Utra’s Product Announcements:
