Two hundred of these made for the K98k rifle for German trials. These resulted in a desire for a better attachment method, and this led to the L27 design. The L27 was essentially the same wipe-based suppressor but attached using the locking clamp of the German rifle grenade spigots. A full thousand of the L27 silencers were ordered for production, although a shortage of rubber for the baffles (this was late in 1944) forced production to end early.<\/p>\n<p>The L27 was intended to be used on basically all German 8mm small arms &#8211; the K98k, G43\/K43, and MP44\/StG44. Like the Soviet Bramit, it was intended for subsonic ammo, and a range table was engraved on body of can to give rear sight settings for ranges out to 250m with subsonics.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
