Not saying it can't be done. But cutting threads on a rifle barrel with a die set takes more skill than doing one with a lathe! At least if you own a lathe, you can chuck the barrel and use the tailstock to align the die. Try it in a vise and you'll end up with barrel buggery.

What is the OD of a Mauser barrel?

This one is is a 7mm Rem Mag threaded 9/16-24. I don't have a suppressor threaded to that adapter right now- and am too lazy to make the switch for a photo op...

May want to spell out Bolt Action Rifle…

For most in this community BAR = Browning Automatic Rifle

Often those suffering from a dissociative identity disorder are very happy in their bubbles. A few hours in the pit can have a devasting effect on bubbles.

To me having a 10.5" unsuppressed you may have fire without ear pro, for home defense or what have you, is like having a firearm that will amputate the tip of your pinky when you fire it. You can use it to save your life but it's going to be distracting, extremely uncomfortable, and cause you permanent damage. Better than getting shot or stabbed but still shitty.

Hell man...EVERYTHING fired inside sucks. I have partial hearing loss from a 12ga less lethal that when fired outdoors is akin to a .22lr...but fired inside will leave you ringing.

Often wondered if "in for a penny, in for a pound" is at play. Mo louder, mo better (and leave your ear pro hanging on the rifle).

Kidding....kinda

Why’s the fact it’s a Mauser style action so hard for people to understand? Are you saying this is an auto? That bolt action is most definitely not a Browning Automatic Rifle if that’s what you’re saying.

BAR - Bolt Action Rifle.

He didn't mean a BAR - Browning Automatic Rifle.

secondofangle2 said:

don't you have to remove the barrel from the action to thread it in a lathe?

If the goal is suppression, far better choices than a Mauser and all the complications that poses. Some of those old military rifles can be a bitch to remove barrel from action

Plus when you're shooting supersonic in a crowd of over 1000, very near to some of them, I don't think a can helps your tasks very much

Now if you're 300 yards from crowd, 400 from target, then I get it

We will know soon enough

If you just want a one-time use “suppressor” to partially reduce a sound signature/redirect that initial report, I’ve heard (heh, unintended pun) of people simply duct taping a 2-liter bottle filled with shaving cream to the end of a rifle barrel…in Minecraft.

Somebody has been fucking with Paint or PhotoShop.

A professional is not going to want OR need all that mechanical rest bullshit on such a short range setup.

Neither would they overtly skyline themselves like that.


There is SOOOOO much bullshit being slung out there hoping some of it gets clicks or gains traction.

I agree and even more SOOOOO, you can’t believe anything on any internet or social media platform.

Pretty good shot with a Mauser at 200y. Easy with an AI that shoots .5 - .75 and you're shooting off a bench at prairie dogs, much more difficult with 2-4 moa mauser when the clock is ticking. Just fucking horrible, I'm both saddened and pissed.

DNC calls in a bomb threat on themselves.

I was narrator, videographer and editor of this 9/11 video, shot at the WTC cleanup site exactly one year after the attack.

His name is Alex Loutsky. He was near the towers and watched the first plane hit the first tower. He was the First Responder (he was a paramedic with FDNY for 30 years, recently retired) that activated the NYC Emergency Response System.

I run 23.3 thrown from a Dillon. So +\- .1, under 77SMKs and Aeromatches and have run at least 3000 this year from Wylde chambered barrels in five rifles and it’s been good in each.

Cases range from range pick up that was small bases to new Norma, Winchester, Starline 223 and IVI. No issues.

I don’t chrono anymore but my 14.5s are around 5 MILs to 600 yards, 16” was 4.8~ish MIL. 18” was about 17MOA. All are 7 twist Wyldes.

Edit: I run a light taper crimp as well, as I don’t prep new brass. Just run it as is on the 550.

Been doing an annual read with this since the '90's. Pretty solid references and study notes as well as a chronologic read in a year guide.
Regardless, meditate over God's eternal inspired word and humble yourself to the work of His Spirit.



Be filled and be blessed.

Praise report of a prayer answered in less than a day!

My grandson is having a hard time in kindergarten. None of his preschool friends are in his new school and he just feels alone. He just started wearing glasses, theyre cool glasses and not at all dorky but you know how kids can be.

On top of that, they’re moving back here to the farm and while that is a good thing he is losing his home he is used to.

A mildly autistic kid has been picking on him some. We raised him to not pick on people and as an only child he isn’t used to this behavior. It is entirely foreign and perverse to him. Teacher knows and watches but kids are kids.

He confided in my yesterday when we were alone, quite unexpectedly with tears that “no kids will play with me, and that makes me sad”.

Man talk about heart wrenching.

We prayed right then and there with Liam repeating every word for courage and understanding and for the right friends to be given to him.

My SIL picked him up today and Liam quite nonchalantly told him all about his new friend Alex he met on the playground and how cool he was and that he loved bugs too

Praise you Lord for hearing the faithful prayer of a little boy who has a pure heart. You always amaze me
