Not sure I understand what you're trying to ask. I've loaded 90gr bullets subsonic in both 308 and 30/06. Come to think of it, I've loaded powder coated round balls too, well below typical subsonic speeds. Use a fast powder. Cast coated lead bullets are more forgiving for very mild subsonic...

Yep, Rugged Obsidian 45 as said above - good balance of price vs performance, and rated as one of the quieter big bore pistol suppressors. Of course you could look at a dedicated SMG can (fixed mount, and generally larger than pistol cans) if you don't want to also use this on a semi-auto...

Yeah they're worth checking out. Leapers doesn't have the best reputation (starting off as cheap chinese junk is rarely the best way to get a good rep) and I don't disagree with that in general, but this particular bipod is actually pretty solid. It is heavy though, and IMO suited well for heavy...

Paid for itself how? It doesn't cost any more to submit a F1/4 as an individual. I've had an active trust for a long time now, since my first can in the early 2000's. Doesn't cost me any money to use it now of course, but I don't, because what's the point? It's just more hassle when submitting...

Obsidian 45 Individual, silencershop kiosk (eforms) I forget the dates, approval took 3 days. Personally I see zero reason to keep using trusts these days. They made sense years ago pre-41P, but now IMO are being promoted mostly by lawyers engaged in the business of selling trusts.

Arguing to a 4 year old post is stupid, of course. But WTF are you talking about being discontinued? The subject of the thread definitely isn't. Bought one myself last fall; actually works pretty decently. My only complaint is they won't sell the rifle mounts separately, which is pretty...

No reason to. It’s lighter than most modern cans and at least as quiet as most. They disappeared when Gemtech switched to their monocore, which sucks bad, and that was done mainly because most people don’t have tools or know how to work on stuff anymore, and the Outback wasn’t originally...

😄 If you knew how old that Outback II is you could probably guess that I’ve figured out cleaning it a long time ago. It would have been full of carbon at least 3-4 times over by now. And you can sometimes clean aluminum in US cleaners, if you have some idea of what works and what doesn’t. It’s...

FYI the Bootleg adjustable system does not choke down the gas like an adjustable gas block; it bleeds off excess pressure before it gets to the carrier's piston chamber. I use them too, and have been since before most anyone else here was talking about them, but prefer to also use a set &...

Likely overgassed as said above (super common in 308 ARs), but you'll want to fix that rough chamber first. There are a couple ways to do that; easiest is a ball hone for the 308 chamber that a gunsmith should have, but you can buy yourself for $40-$50. Keep it wet with a solvent or light oil...

Sounds about right. CMMG does sell "tuning kits" for the RDB system (different weights that fit inside the bolt carrier) which would probably make it feel a lot more like that slower and smoother cycling of the MP5 system that you mentioned. Depends on the loads you're shooting though; if...

Looks like a great can and I appreciate TBAC quality, but at 5.9 oz it's basically double the weight of my old Outback (2.9 oz) or a Warlock (3 oz). I've got no need for a full auto rating on a .22 can. Like I said, I favor light weight cans for a .22 pistol. This one feels a lot like a stock...

Drill and tap would be the right way to do it. You could bed it with epoxy as well, but really not necessary for an iron sight base. That's a very similar style rear sight base as production Remington 700 rifles have used for many years, with just two screws holding it in place; no epoxy to be...

IME the easy buttons for good reliable .45 Auto defense rounds are: - Fed HST - Speer/CCI Gold Dot - Rem Golden Saber I choose either 200gr or 230gr loadings of these; don't really care for the lighter 185gr stuff for carry. I wish we could still get the old Win Ranger T, which were really...

I gotta agree with that too. Sounds like OP bought something already - any update on how it worked out for you? Seems like it's hard to go wrong with the TB options. Personally I like really light .22 cans to maintain the right balance on pistols; never had a need for full auto ratings or...
