Manners gone dark

@tmanners thank you for your DM. I will respond to it with my contact info and then touch base with you tomorrow (Wednesday) morning via text so we can figure out what happened.

I've been fortunate for several years to have @Rob01 as a match buddy and mentor (and fellow cat daddy). It's his showing me his Manners stocks that persuaded me to try one. Manners Composite Stocks has a commendable reputation, so I figured that something has disrupted normal flow of business because multiple voicemails/emails were not returned. I just saw no sense in sending any more emails/voicemails.

If I somehow screwed something up on my end, I'll own it loudly and publicly.

Before I contact you tomorrow morning, I will construct a trackable timeline of emails and voicemails so we can get this sorted.

THANKS again.

Those are outstanding 300yd groups for a gas gun. Nice shooting
Thanks! I'm sure it's just a lack of focus on my part, but I tend to shoot smaller in terms of MOA at 300 yards than I do at 100. It's the same thing with my bolt-action rifles.

Part of it is probably me shooting the center out of my aiming point at 100, but I'm sure part of it is my getting a little sloppy with fundamentals

Annual Mountain States VW Drag Racing Association hit our local track over the weekend. Great time as usual….our quirky VW drag friends are the best. We had a great time with our stupid little cars. My little street car went a best 14.80 at 93mph and I ended going a couple rounds in street (slow class).
My buddies outlaw turbo Karmann
Ghia went low 9’s
He’s got to be a mid 8 in the quarter to be competitive in Texas in a couple weeks at a huge VW Shootout. We shall see!

Silencer decision: Enticer STi or Nomad Ti XC

Where did you hear that about the Enticers? That's interesting.

I think @Supersubes is a dealer for them, I'll tag him in to see if he's seeing those issues. He has a good write up on here on these suppressors.
I’ve sold a quite a few Lti’s now. Not a single issue. My personal DD cans shoot very straight. They actually have a symmetrical blast and front baffle, like the tbacs.

They were near impossible to get beginning last summer until a month or so ago. I think I waited 22 weeks for my last order. Now they’re just in stock at my go-to distributor. I think thats because the buying stopped in preparation for the no tax come next year. During that time I couldnt get the DD’s, I sold a stack of ti/lti XC’s. I like them a lot too. Very neat can, cant go wrong there. Zero customer gripes from those, and no QC issues.

I haven't seen any of the new silencer summit data yet. Surprised the S and L are that close, they dont sound that way to me.


Yeah it seems like they both perform similarly from different data sources. The Enticer LTi seems like an awesome choice too but I’m not sure I want an 8” can for long days in elk country
I sell to mostly hunters and many of them are first time suppressor buyers. Ive yet to have a single customer pick the Sti over a Lti when they got to hear them side by side. The lti is so much quieter, and that comes with a very small weight penalty. Your point is valid though. I hunt with a pair of Ultra 5’s on rifles with short to medium barrels.

Lowes here has these signs up. The local plumbing, gas contractors lobbied the building department to not issue homeowners permits. So legally you can not work on your own home.
I see you're from mid Ohio. Wife and I live in Canal Winchester, house falls under historical and preservation district guidelines . Didn't realize how bad some of this was when we bought here late 08. Anyway, basically have to have approval or permit drawn to do anything to home.
Case in point, few years ago the hot water died, 24yrs old . Bought new one at local Home Depot, turns out need permit, can only be installed by licensed plumber, old water heater needs to be removed by professional, home owner can't even legally dispose of it. Lot of government over reach and control.
