Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Bergara BTi30 suppressor unique?

The Bergara BTi30 stands out due to its 3D-printed Grade 5 titanium construction, which allows for optimized internal gas flow to reduce back pressure. It also features a unique muzzle-indexing mounting system that contacts the front of the muzzle, minimizing carbon buildup on the barrel face.

What are the key specifications of the Bergara BTi30?

The BTi30 is a 30 caliber suppressor weighing 12.9 oz, with a length of approximately 6.5 inches and a major diameter of 1.8 inches. It is rated for 300 Remington Ultra Mag on a 16-inch barrel and features a high-temperature Cerakote finish.

How does the Bergara BTi30's mounting system differ from traditional suppressors?

Unlike traditional suppressors that rely on a shoulder to seat against the muzzle, the BTi30 uses a muzzle-indexing system that contacts the front of the muzzle. This design helps prevent carbon buildup on the muzzle face, which can be problematic with conventional suppressors over time.
