Suppressors KGM RF22

IowaPlinker
A few years ago I bought an R556 from KGM and it came with an RF22.
Due to… reasons, I haven’t had much opportunity to shoot with it until last month.
While sighting in the Ruger mkIII, I noticed that my bullets would keyhole.
I took off the can and fired the pistol and no keyhole.
So I took the can apart and noticed it was much easier to get the front cap off than the rear cap.
Looking at baffles, I noticed strike marks.
I reassembled the can, taking effort to tighten both caps as much as I could.
Upon shooting the keyholes were still happening.
My question is; has anyone had this type of experience with this happening with a KGM RF22 before?
I plan to reach out to them to see if I can send it back for inspect and repair, if they do that.
Thanks for feedback.

They got what was coming on this one. Knocking on a door, or ringing a doorbell and burning off is a prank. Kicking in a door is breaking and entering. Destruction of property at the very the least.

We had a situation at my home in the wee hours of the morning a couple years ago. My wife woke me up saying she thought she had heard someone trying to get in the house through the front door. She had heard the door knob rattling a couple times. I sat in the living room with my 870 for a few minutes before moving outside to take a look around. If the front door had gotten kicked in I'd have dont the same thing.

Never did figure out what the cause of the noise at the front door was. Two big dogs live outside and they never made a peep.

We did find out the next day though, talking to a few neighbors that one of them had caught a guy parked in a jeep on their side of the neighborhood at 2am the same night we had our disturbance.

Kennedy was playing the game too.

I personally think if he had not be killed Vietnam would have blown up on him too. Would he have gone full Johnson?

I also think Kennedy would have been remember much differently if he had not be assassinated. Like a Carter or a Biden.

not an uncommon belief. can't say you are wrong. Kennedy did have a big piece of VN. i really don't think he would have gone the 5.5 mil troop commitment. he has been quoted as saying he would pull everyone out. hard to know the truth there. many people my parent's age felt he would have been impeached if his screwing around and drug use got out. that stuff was known but not well known til in the late 80s. maybe impeachment or get voted out in early 60s when "greats" were the controlling voter demographic? never happen now with Clinton escapades and Obama's crack smoking BG action. Trump is trying a well as anyone could. i admire trump's essentially personal courage. i'm not happy with some of his stuff. that said,what are our options? bottom line-we're done for,staying the lines as we are doing.

Switching between manners stocks

I think this is the most logical answer of them all and you gave it yourself.
Also this is the first you mentioned of the new cartridge as well.
Yes you have compounding variables here that are not what you’ve been used to and it takes time to get back up to speed.
You only mentioned “ performance” as changing. That’s kinda vague, so it’d be good to know more specifics.
Not as accurate overall? Off a bench? Off barricades? Recoil management is worse? Is it heavier now? Balanced differently? What specifically is different from life with your PRS1?

Gotta have more info… better input better output.

I realized after reading over my original post that I might have been a bit too vague and thought I put more info out but apparently I was very wrong.

So what I’ve noticed is it will shoot a stellar group for three or so shots and then I get a couple “flyers” that creates an equally good group but takes it from say .5” to 1” which isn’t the end of the world but makes me chase my tail trying to get a super solid zero. The stock feels a maybe a wee bit tail heavy due to that anchor of a butt spacer weight, I mean the gorend is almost fully weighted to attempt to overcome the butt weight since it’s not a mile long truck axle for a barrel.

In regards to the new caliber it’s .223, so recoil is pretty much zero compared to the 308 I was running up until this year for matches. I’ve also learned that apparently 223 isn’t exactly the most user friendly in regards to tuning compared to the dasher or few other comp calibers I’ve played with in the past.

BCM Receiver and Lapping

M
I have a Wheeler lapping tool; lapped lots of BCM uppers, never had a need for a "special" reduced diameter.
But I've never measured the diameter of the tool either..............................works fine on every upper of numerous makes, that I've used it on.

FWIW I have the wheeler tool (purchased a few months ago) and it doesn’t fit in my bcm demo upper.

Your comment made me go & check mine, & it is NOT a Wheeler..............it is a Brownell's tool, several years old.

And it does work on BCM's, with oil on the body & paying attention to getting it in absolutely straight.

Sorry for the mis-info..........may bad.

Case cleaning

I use a RCBS case and media separator. Doesn't take too many cranks to get all the pins out of the cases,then I put a 5gal paint strainer bag into a bucket and dump the pins into it .Makes it easy to rinse off and store in the bag. FWIW.

I have tried that, and one from Frankfort, and the big one from Dillon that actually can handle the number of cases I wash at one time. Ultimately there are always pins left over. It’s not worth the hassle to me. Washing without pins works fine since I tumble excessively after sizing.

And all this during a solar maximum... Supposedly a coincidence. But I don't like coincidences.

An article ini Nature linked solar activity with increased plate teuctonics and vulcaniism. But the USGS or NOAA or someone wrote an article refuting it.

I wonder if their article 'refuting it' was designed to point to everything being because of climate change... not solar periods and similar effects that you can't fix by raising taxes and screaming "How Dare You."

That said, 'supposedly' the number of quakes and volcano's is right in line with 'normal numbers.' I guess that the 'normal numbers' are more interesting when they happen in Southern Europe than, say, The Philippinies or some other third world craphole.

Be interesting to do a deep dive on the statistics on this.

And despite the exhortations that 'all is well' with solar events whacking our upper Van Allen belts or whatever they are... I am not so sure!

This was interesting reading last night: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/images/u33/finalBoulderPresentation042611 (1).pdf

Cheers,

For a long time actual science has known that solar activity affects this tiny globe in its space. The problem with any government funded “science” organization is obvious.
