Saw this on the book of face


Quinetiq is a pretty smart bunch of engineers…

I can see all kinds of ‘issues’ with fielding such a device.

But it probably works as intended.

Lots of early suppressor designs included loads of moving parts to damp out shockwaves and slow down gasses. Just because they are unwieldy and goofy looking does not mean they are ineffective!!

Firearms Staccato XC setup

Staccato XC fired approximately 400 rounds. It has a 507 comp ronin, 4 20 round magazines, 3 17 round magazines, and a Trex arms holster (before the company turned to trash). Wanted to shoot pistol competitions but have no time with the wife and kids. $3800 shipped from my ffl to yours, or face to face in Birmingham AL. Only trades considered would be a Beretta 1301 tactical, or Beretta A300 ultima patrol.

Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

I have zero concerns about baffle erosion and I have 2k round through nomad l on 419 mounts with a 18” 300 win mag.

I would not go to xeno from 419. Seems like an expense for zero gain - the 419 is very very repeatable from my testing
I think is just my boredom wanting a new project. I think you’re right about it being an expense for no gain.
The Area 419 Hellfire, which is what I’m converting my bolt guns over to, has an O ring that seems to make it fairly impossible to come loose. Something for me to keep an eye on in the future though.

I use Surefire Brakes on all of my ARs. I originally used them in my bolt guns too but there are too many better options in suppressors other SF for bolt guns. The only suppressors I don’t plan on converting over to the Hellfire are the AB Raptors because I like the reflex chamber too much to take them off.

Brakes “might” help over a DT but honestly, most bolt guns aren’t seeing the volume of fire than an AR will so for all practical purpose, it won’t matter. You will shoot out the barrel long before you hurt the blast chamber.
I agree with you about the area 419 system. I’m not sure if the o ring keeps it tight or just keeps gas from getting back to the mating surface. Regardless, I’ve never had one come loose while shooting.

Autotricklet V4 mechanical reliability and customer service?

What would be your opinion if you had a V4/IP combo, only using the V4 for the bulk drop and then the IP to trickle it up to final?
I've been running an AT V4/IP trickler combination for 6 months. Fantastic combination! My drops are within .02 grain 99.9% of the time and easily within 10 seconds per drop.
I have an AT V3/IP trickler combo coming some day (USPS...'nuff said) which I will compare to my V4/IP combo.
I have owned/used every version of Adams AutoTrickler over the years, ALL of them have delivered the results touted by Adam. There was a rising learning curve as the versions progressed but never a problem that this 76 year old analog geezer could not solve. Yeah, I had to dial up Adam a couple of times but he was very helpful and patient every time.
I MIGHT buy an IP dropper IF they ever make it to market and IF they perform as touted which I believe they will judging from how well the IP trickler is working for me but given the combo I have now I may not jump on that bandwagon.

More fun with 308 Win

How many firing you get on the hybrid cases? Have you had difficulty with them tearing up the actual chamber from the steel on steel contact?
I've been known to push the high nodes in my F T/R rifles from time to time. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Cases lasted about 4 firings. Lapua SRP Cases went 6-8. Groups opened up. I dropped back down to normal pressures and my score improved again. They hybrid cases are interesting but I've heard nothing but horror stories about problems with extraction, damaged chambers and short case life.
What's the scoop?
