Integral Lever Action Suppression: Wren Metal Works at CANCON 2024

Hey everyone, Rob Orgel here reporting more news from CANCON in Phoenix, Arizona. This year has been remarkable for the silencer industry with advancements in turnaround times, legal changes, and broader acceptance. Amidst all these developments, I stumbled upon Wren Metal Works—a name that might not be familiar to many but is bringing some serious innovation to the table.

A New Take on Integral Suppression

At Wren Metal Works, they’re not just creating suppressors; they’re redefining them. They’ve taken a bold step by integrating suppressors directly into the chassis of their firearms, making them an integral part of the weapon. This approach not only enhances the aesthetic but also improves the functionality, reducing both noise and felt recoil significantly.

The Magic of Wren Metal Works’ Designs

The conversation with Rob from Wren Metal Works opened my eyes to the possibilities of what integral suppression can achieve. They’ve started with platforms like the root group 7744 and expanded into something truly unique—an integrally suppressed 44 lever gun. Imagine the classic design of a Rossi R92 lever gun, but with modern suppression technology that makes it “stupid quiet.”

Broadening the Caliber Range

Wren Metal Works isn’t stopping with just one model. They’ve applied their integral suppression technology across various platforms, including popular calibers like .44 Magnum and .45-70, offered in models from Henry, Rossi, and Marlin. Their approach to handling larger calibers like the .45-70 is particularly impressive, using a larger titanium tube to accommodate the increased pressures while still drastically reducing the noise and recoil.

Hands-On Demonstrations

During the demo, the performance of these suppressed lever guns was nothing short of astounding. The reduction in noise and recoil transforms the shooting experience, making even the powerful .45-70 manageable and enjoyable for extended shooting sessions. It’s not just about making a gun quieter; it’s about enhancing the overall usability and enjoyment of the firearm.

The Future Looks Bright

The potential for Wren Metal Works’ technology in cinematic applications like the next “Men in Black” movie was even hinted at, showcasing the broader cultural impact and appeal of their work. It’s clear that Wren Metal Works is on the cusp of something big, merging traditional gunsmithing with modern suppressor technology to create something entirely new and exciting.

Wrapping Up

My time with Wren Metal Works at CANCON 2024 was a highlight of the event. Their innovative approach to integral suppression is a game-changer for both enthusiasts and professionals in the shooting industry. I’m eagerly looking forward to getting more hands-on time with their products to provide a detailed review and perhaps even some head-to-head comparisons with other industry leaders.
