Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Fletcher Rifle Works Taquito suppressor?

The Taquito is a user-serviceable rimfire suppressor made primarily of aluminum, featuring a one-piece steel blast chamber for durability. It uses integrated cuts for disassembly instead of wrench flats and is designed to be lightweight and competitive in the market.

How does the Fletcher Rifle Works Open Top 1122 rifle handle weight and balance?

The Open Top 1122 features a carbon fiber barrel, which shifts the weight balance considerably rearward. This design choice reduces perceived weight and fatigue, especially when accessories are added to the rear of the rifle.

What is the main critique of the Fletcher Rifle Works Taquito suppressor?

The primary critique is that it is a .22-only suppressor, and the speaker suggests moving the serialized components to the steel blast sleeve. This would make the suppressor more robust and easier to service if damaged, as the steel part is tougher than the aluminum components.

How does the Taquito suppressor perform in reducing flash signature?

The Taquito significantly reduces muzzle flash. However, due to the direct blowback nature of semi-automatic .22LR firearms, some flash is still expected from the ejection port, even when suppressed.
