Overview

Need a budget can for your rifle?  Have you seen the new Turbo from Yankee Hill Machine?

The Turbo is a tubeless design made from heat-treated stainless steel that measures 6.5 inches in overall length.  With a 1.5625″ diameter and a weight of only 13.5 ounces, the lightweight Turbo is portable yet also very effective having a sound pressure level of 134dB on a 14.5″ AR shooting 55-grain ammo, which is well below the 140 dB hearing safe threshold.

Impression

Though I question the naming convention on this one (the “turbo”?), Yankee Hill Machine seems to have hit a home run. YHM has always made great suppressors, I have been really surprised by how quiet they actually are.

The Turbo continues to work with legacy flash hiders, which is a really nice feature. Considering most quick disconnect flash hiders cost $100, that can add up fast if you use one suppressor on multiple guns.

The Turbo is full auto rated, hearing safe on barrels 14.5 inches and above, and very light weight. My favorite part? The price.

Price and Availability

This gun muffler retails for $489 and that includes a QD flash hider. If you are in the suppressor market at the moment, this thing is a steal.
