I certainly didn't write it to dissuade anybody, It's a lot machining and a lot of expense. If it's modular, that will be a plus.

And no additional tax stamp cost of $200...
I have to say, I have shot centerfire elr for years. I was gobsmacked when purchasing Altaros pellets everyone complained about the $22 buck per 110 slugs... I have rifles I reload for that cost $6 every time you pull the trigger so it is truly a matter of perspective.

Most airgun stuff is out of the price range for guys with common sense, luckily as I got older it was the first thing I lost.

Again, I agree it’s nice machining but total cost could be an issue for many. I have over 10 airguns so simple math indicates a lot of money. Instead I spent the $3k on 3D printers and make my own, all perspectives I guess.
Edit: plus DonnyFL is known to outsource to China, if it’s close to made in the US moderators in price then I personally would go with made in US brand.

I talked to Donny today and will be stopping by his shop to talk with him while I'm on vacation. I will ask him where they are being made and if there is any info he wants put out.
Agree about being made in the US. If they are made in the US I wouldn't question the cost. But for a quality product I done have issues buying it. Most of it is the brand name as well, much like nike.

With the evolution in power..those felt fill ldc were quickly out dated..felt tends to roll up and change the armonics of the pcp so I imagined that this new line mostly will be solid monocore... and so far I don't know of a cheap solid monocore LDC.

Let me get home and I have some information for you guys.
Now that I have some time to type.....Talking with Donny they are looking at a price of under $200 for the new unit. I was given two units to test, and will be putting together some pictures and a write up when I get home.

I asked Donny about that and couldn't get a solid answer out of him, and honestly didn't want to push it to much. I was given a unit of the smaller RYU and the larger YOKOZUNA. These are both a quick detach system on the units, so a simply 60* twist and the unit is removed. There is talk as well as making adapters for other silencers in the future, so watch for those. Let me get some pictures and I will post a few teasers here. There will be more coming out about these soon.
i cant thank Donny and the team enough. Was great meeting up with them again and talking for a bit.

I was just shooting both of them on my Panthera 700mm in 22lr. Let me shoot it against my Sumo, Shogun, Huggett, Impulse 1200 & 1350, and a few others. From my initial impressions both sizes are sounding great. And the ability to remove quickly and change is a HUGE improvement. Now I was shooting inside just now, I will get more shots on it tomorrow after work. Will put a few hundred rounds through each of them, as well as on a few different rifles.

Just my calibrated ear, I have no DB meter or anything like that. Im not that special to have anything like that. I can find something on the ap store, but those are not going to be nearly as accurate as a high price device.
If you have a DB Meter, a good quality one, and what some numbers send me the meter and I will get you some numbers.
