Oly Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Just wondering on people's opinons of these two mods, both SS, both do over barrel (ASE Northstar), both self contained. From what I have found; Northstar - great track record through the ASE S5 etc, no bushings, nice dull stainless finish, smaller than the MYM MYM - great track record regarding design, lighter than the ASE (I think?), cheaper than the ASE, but has bushings and is very shiny What would your preference be and why? Have you any further info? I have the ASE S5 at present, and it's a superb mod, but just wondering if there is any real reason to go for an MYM on the next rifle over another ASE?

lancslad Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Why not go for the DM80. They are completely strippable.........the whole job. Got one on my .223. .22 rimmy They are great and out do the T8s by miles. Can be done in brushed finish if you like things shiney but not super shiney.....

Why on earth are some people keen to strip moderators? I can understand the need to clean a rimfire moderator, due to the grease from the bullet coatings and the unburnt powder, but I wouldn't strip a centrefire moderator. I also have an S5. I'll try an Ase Utra Jet Z next. I don't like over-barrel moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alled12 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have a CQB magnum on the front of my 7mm rem mag, excellent, a little heavy but excellent results. Nice and compact doesnt add to much to the length. Tames my magnum to 22-250 levels nice. I cant understand the need for strippable mods either but hey its personal choice.
