@RAVAGE88 Acknowledging accuracy as highest priority in any new development, I do hope the magazine can have a follower button to facilitate loading, especially Lapua rounds in summer. Thanks from the arthritic-handed septuagenarian.

Are suppressor purchasers being raped by the manufacturers and vendors? Yes. Not very much different than the machine gun market, just in a less extreme scale. A $30,000 transferable M16 today, is a $600 gun if the NFA gets Thanosed.

(Good news, recent settlement may have just done it, sorta, with FRTs back on market)

I’d love to see foreign competition push US suppressor manufacturers not to accept the status quo. Would this bring prices down? Yeah, some. But, in an analogous market, Tasco scopes aren’t putting much pressure on US Optics. I don’t think the hypothesized sub-$100 Amazon Specials are going to force TBAC to match price.

6000 psi gas vents? I just found a calculator for muzzle pressure. A 62 grain 5.56 bullet fired from a 20” barrel at 3000 fps would have a muzzle pressure of ~18,000 psi. Do these vents silencers need to allow a bullet to escape unimpeded, while also bringing the sound levels down to (near) hearing safe? What is the temp of these venting gases? Are there negative consequences if these gas vent silencers experience thermal events that alter the vent path? And, are these vent silencers expected to be non-replaceable parts?

Back to race mufflers, how much pressure do they experience? Like 10 psi?

What is a fully Semi-automatic rate and how fast is that?

“Fully semi-automatic” is a humorous euphemism for fully automatic fire (taken from some legislator that didn’t know anything about firearms, but was quite enthusiastic in speaking out of their ass.). Rates are generally somewhere around 4-500 rounds per minute on the slow end up to maybe 1100 rounds per minute on the really ludicrous end, for individual weapons.

The polio epidemic may seem like a lie until you are paralyzed. We have the luxury in living in a country it was basically eradicated from long ago, and the people who died from it or lived with profound life-long disabilities have passed away. You do realize that polio is still active in many other countries around the world, and that people are still being paralyzed from it?

Skepticism of the medical system and vaccines is not unreasonable. If you wait until people are dying in the streets en masse from blood streaming out of every orifice to consider a vaccine though, you are probably a bit behind the eight ball.

Polio is asymptomatic for life in something like 99% of people. I think you might be walking around with 50 year old information in your head. It was not what they told you.

Um, they have a bullet traveling up to, or exceeding, 3000 feet per second, fired at potentially fully semi-automatic rates, generating heat that can- literally- make them glow red, from an aperture only a few thou over nominal bore diameter. And, because of the NFA making them a lifetime investment, they are built for a lifetime of service.

While I do believe the street prices of suppressors are inflated by market influences created by the NFA, the statement above is willfully obtuse.

I wonder how much a tig welded race muffler would cost if it were expected to spit bullets at hearing safe sound levels without material failure, with a lifetime repair-replace guarantee if it were to fail structurally…

Most of mine so far have been 24 head stamps, Sig no year is a close second. Fury and 23 is mixed in there too.

Been playing around with the Hybrid brass for a better part of a couple of months. Mixed results so far. I could get the 6.5CM to shoot with very minimal load development. 308 have not shot well. Have tried TAC, Varget and N540 with some 175 SMK and 178ELDMs. I can get the ES and SD down but at best a 1 MOA group. I check it's not the gun with brass case loads. So far I have only been using what I have and just upping the charge some more.

Damn, I really want to order some but now I'm discouraged with knowing it's all mixed.

I keep all my stuff sorted by lot and this would not play well with me lol.

Do me a favor sir, research that polio vaccine again without looking at a .gov source. The polio vaccine saving the world is a myth. There was a wave of misdiagnosis that led to the "epidemic" of polio. It was blamed for everything, kinda like covid deaths. The vaccine came out something like 2 years after polio had already come and gone, and at the time it was released, polio wasn't a problem anymore. They lied, (hard to believe, I know) in our text books about how Jonus Saulk saved the world. It didn't happen..

Who knows anything about the dates when the primer compound was changed to a water activated formula?

I've discussed the great slurry scandal with a number of BR guys, but I don't remember the time period. The change certainly seems to have negatively impacted (pardon the pun) what is seen on the target.

Thanks.

Also, I'm not an atheist.

You misrepresent my usage of “correct” as it was not a blanket statement about your claims on truth. I was only saying correct to a specific part of what you were claiming, mainly 100% verifiability. Truth is definitely something that can be known and understood, because truth claims can be measured against how well they represent reality. Truth does not mean 100% verifiability, and no one lives their life in that was. Truth does not mean 100% certainty. See the Correspondence Theory of Truth

With that regarding the big questions of the universe, even agnosticism requires faith despite what they claim.

Finally, I will say this. Though none of the positions you mentioned above are 100% verifiable, there are some positions that comport better with the available evidence and reality than others. Also some are more internally consistent than others. With that, if you are a theist of some type, look into the evidences of the resurrection. The Case for Christ is a good start. If you are agnostic, do not use it as way to justify your moral choices as I once did, effectively trying to make myself my own God.

Couple things:

1. How brainwashed are we as a society to actually think that a lower rate of monetary debasement is a good thing? How about zero. Lower inflation is still inflation. People are either stupid, uneducated or both.

2. In a fiat system be very careful about desiring lower prices at a macro level. It’s an indicator that the customer has run out of money or has no desire for further purchases at the current price point. Recession follows.

If you see the comflict between those two points, good. That’s the spot we are in economically.

So you confirm what Tubb told me?

From what I'm finding, the man, Army officer, shooter and the rifle are an incredible part of history and to be highly admired. Wow. I've not found anything about the 6mm part, but I certainly have reason to believe it. These are the qualities we should all use as examples and to aspire to.

@Hoser , thanks for sharing the info. Very humbling indeed.

Bombs Away LeMay was a pilot...

An Epic one… somewhere I have the story of him getting PNG’d out of Greenland along with the President of Smith and Wesson…. It’s pretty funny.

He was also a very cerebral general and cared deeply about the wellbeing of his airmen and families. Only general in WW2 who ordered his eggheads to measure success in “crew losses per unit of target destruction.”

Also created the Rand Corporation and Mitre.

Anything but the Visigoth the lefty reporters later portrayed him as!

I recommend this episode. It's hard to imagine a more honest and hard working man in politics than Tom Homan. I enjoyed hearing his story, great interview.

You are correct. It will take bodies stacked up along side the road, zombies trying to break into my house, or people growing extra extremities overnight before i'd believe another thing the govt tells me related to this subject.

Stop, I can only get so erect..

Zombies trying to break into my house? Next you're going to tell me that Selma Hyack is trying to rape me in your apocalypse. Enough man, I'm in.

Not passing judgement at all on those who either did or didn’t get the vaccine and just expressing one guy’s opinion. As a microbiologist, it appears to me that when the coronavirus moved from the realm of microbiology and medicine to the political sphere ( I personally don’t think that there can be much debate that it did) it was game over. A country already divided politically almost overnight had a touch point through which to become even more divided.

It appears to me that a great distrust in our society of medicine and science, particularly the biological sciences, has been a major result of the entire affair. My greatest fear is that if the sun comes up on the day when we’re faced with an honest to God deadly pandemic ( you don’t even want to contemplate an aerosolized Ebola or Marburg , much less some unknown mutation) , the credibility of medical and research science in general has been so damaged that the results would be catastrophic. When perhaps as a society we should respond much as we did when the polio vaccine first became available, we’ll be racked with indecision and hesitancy, with fatal consequences. I hope I’m wrong.

Do me a favor sir, research that polio vaccine again without looking at a .gov source. The polio vaccine saving the world is a myth.

Working on a gen 2 version of the oversized handguard. Removable one peice full length top rail to convert and A2 to an SRS-M2 with an integral suppressor.
This is a much larger handguard than my Gen 1. But it appears these are Likely going to be an aluminum handgaurd instead of carbon fiber for now. That could change.

Wow, that’s pretty slick! Any idea of the max OD of the can that could fit inside? And would the integral top rail still have some cant to it? (20 or 30 MOA?). I like the aluminum, personally.

+1 on that. When I was 16 (shit, that's a long time ago) I took my older brothers coon dog out hunting to make some spending cash while he was out of town. Damn thing took off on a deer and I couldn't find him. Went home and my dad told me to grab one of my brothers jackets and to go back and leave the jacket on the ground. Thank god the expensive blue tick was laying there the next morning.
