The Fuqua Tatonka .46 caliber suppressor in black titanium is the .45-70 Government can from Fuqua Precision Machining, sold under the FPM Gunworks name (brand part no. TAT45TIBLK). Tatonka is the Lakota word for buffalo, and the suppressor is aimed at hunters who run big-bore single-shots, lever guns and bolt rifles in cartridges that wear out most cans early. FPM machined it to handle the pressure and volume of large-bore fire while keeping muzzle blast and report in check. At 9.5 inches and 13 ounces it does that without turning a handy lever action into a long, heavy rifle.

Key Specifications

• The cartridge it is built for is .45-70 Government, the lever-action round FPM designed the Tatonka around.
• FPM lists the caliber as .46, the bore class this suppressor covers.
• Overall length is 9.5 inches, compact enough for a lever gun or short hunting rifle.
• Weight is 13 ounces, which keeps the front of a big-bore rifle manageable.
• Outside diameter is 1.7 inches, enough volume for a heavy, wide bullet’s gas.
• The body is titanium, which holds weight down on a can made for heavy cartridges.
• The finish is black Cerakote, one of the two colors FPM offers on the Tatonka.
