    Help me Comprehend Silencer Advice

    are we at high school, shitting on the smart kids again ? I'm a layman, the website is clear,- go to the "lab staff opinion" at the end of any review for a quick summation or look at the comparative silencer v silencer ratings...If you're technically minded, all the detail stuff is there - if...

    Help me Comprehend Silencer Advice

    I don't fundamentally disagree with anything you've said- but.... There's a level of commitment buying one, beyond other gear...They're not cheap, it generally takes many months to get one and once you have it, you're pretty much stuck with it- no take backs.... So for suppressor purchases, I'm...

    Help me Comprehend Silencer Advice

    true right... and how do we measure the pressure of the blast, and the effect of the suppressor on it, both at the muzzle and the ear ? So that's why some type of comparison between suppressors, done with consistency, has value. Not just dB, but also back-pressure values. Either the Hide one...

    Alright, I’ll be the first to mention PewScience… His “Pew Rating” gets lots of grief, but his methodology and measurements are done with consistency, so you are getting an apples to apples comparison when you’re looking at the numbers posted in the comparison charts. I skip some of the...

    Buying a .308 semi. What do I have to consider other than a SCAR 17?

    This piece ? I haven't even marked the flashing, it looks like a redundant, just-in-case bumper and I'd wager you could pull it and fire the gun without the back of the bolt contacting the back of the receiver. The overall built on this rifle is so quality, that I'll trust that it's the right...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Coating options on custom 1911

    Not the best pics, but..... Black T on my Springer Pro and Garthwaite BHP- It wears and scratches, but does retain anti corrosion properties... Baer bluing- probably the thinnest in the world, but I do like the way. it wears in...terrible pic. This is a crap finish for an outdoor gun that gets...

    Warmest winter coat

    Have a read of this- PCU garment/ system of dress. Quite a few manufacturer- Haly’s, Patagonia, Propper- all has to be US made under the Berry amendment. Some looks very tactical, some are more neutral & discreet. EBay is a good place to find new surplussed…...

    Buying a .308 semi. What do I have to consider other than a SCAR 17?

    MWS, POF Revolution or Robinson XCR- M. MWS is stupid accurate but it's not light, POF is Stupid light and decently accurate and is a short stroke piston + adjustable gas. The XCR I have in 556 and it's one of the best built, fun to shoot rifles I own. Long Stroke piston, monolithic upper like...

    Warmest winter coat

    Halys Sekri level 6 if you're moving about, level 7 if you're going to be standing or sitting around- looks odd over a suit though...Patagonia make less tactical solid color PCU 6 and 7

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    I'd guess that those arriving sealed are from batches that had the turrets fixed at the factory, opened boxes had the turrets done after landing.

    Rifle Scopes Hilux Phenom 5x30x56 Questions

    sorry to hear, both on the scope and the rifle: that's ~30 rounds a year... Did you get another rifle or still holding onto the Lapua dream ? Nothing wrong with S&B or NF scopes, but loads of excellent mid range options out there, so maybe more research before diving in...?

    Suppressors 556 Can; Polonium?

    I was going to go for either an OCL or TB can but decided I'm waiting a moment before buying my next can, probably a general use .30 and a dedicated 5.56- There's a new, second generation of 3D laser sintered cans, offering both low back pressure and very good muzzle suppression- the new CAT...
