    Suppressors Stupid SBR Question.....

    As long as it is permanently attached, it would be legal. Welding it should work just fine for legal purposes. I'm going to go against the trend here and admit that I think this is a pretty cool idea. You've got an inexpensive can that you don't use much. Depending on what you are putting...

    Suppressors 30 BA, TiRant, Spectre, YHM 5.56, input? (Updated with short review)

    Zak, Thank you very much for the offer. RayDog is already on the case. Basically, I didn't get a brake with my can. It sounds like it either didn't get sent, or that it got sent, and my dealer misplaced it. I have no clue which, but have instructed the dealer to give their shop a good...

    SWR Spectre II I put this can on a Ruger 22/45 lite, and a 10/22 with a threaded barrel. CCI subsonics through the 22/45 sounded awesome. It was almost Hollywood quiet, and ran great. CCI stingers were noticeably louder (as expected), but still sounded really good through the 22/45. On the...

    Yhm 5.56 ss qd I put this can on my 18" ar15. It's an SPRish clone rifle with a WOA barrel. This gun typically gives me 3/4 to 1 moa unsuppressed and is my main coyote/prarie dog/everything else rifle. This gun is like an old friend and has a lot of kills under its belt. The YHM...

    AAC TiRant 45 I screwed this one on my FN 45 Tactical. In terms of sound, it is hard to explain just how impressive this can is on 45 acp +P ammo. Shooting it dry, the sound was pleasant. Shooting it wet resulted in outright laughter and smiles. This can on a full power 45 is very very...

    Tbac 30 ba I picked up all of my cans a few days ago, and have had a chance to shoot all of them. Here are my initial thoughts: TBAC 30 BA - I screwed this one on my MEGA MaTen in 260 Rem. This gun has a 20" Lilja barrel and was an absolute tack driver unsuppressed. I put the TBAC on...

    Suppressors How much time between error letter and stamp?

    UPDATE I called ATF and found out I was approved the other day, Feb. 25. I guess the takeaway is that the fact that you have been notified of an error no longer means that you are close to approval. On the other hand, if you have an error, it does not seem to slow the process down by much...

    Slop between upper and lower

    Fundamentals change, physics does not. Sure, you can take the slop out by shooting slung up, by applying torque to the rife, etc. How does that work with positional shooting? Your rifle will have one zero when slung, one when applying torque, one with a good load put on the bipod, and on and...

    Slop between upper and lower

    OK, just to clarify my post, I agree with this guy. The problem with slop is that when the hammer falls, it moves the upper, this movement is not necessarily predicable or consistent.

    Slop between upper and lower

    I run accuwedges in most of my guns as well. I don't buy the whole "slop doesn't affect accuracy" argument. Slop between upper and lower 100% has an effect on accuracy. The myth that it doesn't stems from a military test using light weight barrels, ball ammo, and open sights. When you start...

    Suppressors How much time between error letter and stamp?

    I hope you're wrong, but who knows. My examiner appears to be approving forms now with a pending date right around my own pending date, so I'm hoping for the best.

    69gr. matchkings @ imr 8208?

    FYI, I just tried a load ladder today with 8208 xbr and 65 grain game kings. I had great accuracy at 23.0 grains in lake city brass with cci small rifle mag primers, seated to 2.26. I had great accuracy (2.25" @ 400) and great velocity with 24.5 and 25 grains as well, but that is well over...

    Suppressors YHM 7.62 TI QD Phantom Accuracy Issues

    I don't mean to be hard on you, but I don't know how the can could be doing that. That looks to me like a shooter or a load issue. Even something as simple as the amount of pre-load (forward and/or downward pressure) on the rifle would be more likely to do that than the can or mount. I say...

    Suppressors How much time between error letter and stamp?

    Dang you guys! I was hoping for some good news, heck I even loaded a few hundred extra rounds in anticipation. In the end, this is what I was afraid of. The two week correction letter turnarounds are a thing of the past. I was really hoping to get my cans in time for coyote season.

    Suppressors How much time between error letter and stamp?

    In my case, it was minor changes the first time it went into problem status. A "the" where there shouldn't be and a difference of opinion on the model name of suppressor. According to the dealer, those issues were corrected. It went into problem status again just a few days ago. I haven't...

    Suppressors How much time between error letter and stamp?

    Try as I might, I have not been able to forget about all of my pending suppressors. So, I've been checking the transfer status every 60 days or so. When I checked earlier this week, I was informed my form 4's are in "problem status." Today, I got ahold of Becky Wetzel at ATF (she sent the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Should I???????????

    This is the right answer. Don't trade guns, you'll end up spending thousands of dollars in a decade and still only own one or two guns. Save money and buy more guns.
