    Suppressors Should I put lube on suppressor adapter threads?

    Re: Should I put lube on suppressor adapter threads? Dissimilar metals? I would use anti-seize! Those 1/2 X 20 threads are easy to start wrong.

    Suppressors first time out with eco9

    Re: first time out with eco9 Couldn't that cleaning tool also be used as a loading tool for grease? If the holes/Ports were spaced at the same distance as the baffles? With a grease Zerk on the knurled end, just a few pumps and you'd have your baffles loaded! -Rick

    Gunsmithing Re-stocking a 40x

    Re: Re-stocking a 40x Yup, Two action screws. If you can get two screw, same thread pitch, but longer then your action screws. Screw them all the way in then give them a wrap with a good size dead blow hammer. I did that for a customer once. It will not hurt the barreled action doing this...

    Re: Recoil with brake vs can+brake? Just an idea, but what if you had a Sionics type suppressor that has a huge expansion chamber where the muzzle brake is. Wouldn't that allow the muzzle brake to do its job and the suppressor to do its job also? Just thinking out loud.
