    Suppressors Dead Air Suppressor Quality

    Ordered first one on 2/13. Second on 2/27. End of February received an e-mail from KGM saying they were running about 30 days behind. Assuming their going to do both of mine together, so it looks like I've probably got another 2-3 weeks. You're probably in the same boat southernpew.

    How accurate are White Oak Armament barrels with factory ammo like M193, Frontier, IMI, etc?

    Screen names tells me all I need to know about hotmoistandhunky. Must have taken it from his Grinder account. :) Although I guess someone with the screen name "houndog" probably shouldn't throw stones. :)

    Is 14.5 the middle ground that doesn't matter any more?

    As someone who owns multiple AR's, there's definitely a place for 14.5" AR, either if you want a single sort of do it all rifle, or you have multiple rifles. P&W a muzzle brake and avoid the whole SBR/pistol brace nonsense. Now that I'm running most of my guns suppressed, I want a brake that...

    Suppressors Dead Air Suppressor Quality

    Big fan of DA myself. I have a Sandman S that I've been swapping between a couple of different rifles, (love the Keymo mounts) and a Nomad TI that mostly goes on a couple of bolt guns. Also, a LaRue Tranquilo that was my first suppressor. Doesn't have much blowback. But the price was right...

    Suppressors Dead Air Suppressor Quality

    Yes. I think it was $200. So the transfer fees and ATF tax will end up being more than the suppressor. I'll admit I was tempted to get an R30 or R30T as well. (Still can't figure out the difference between the two). But I REALLY don't need another 30 cal. can. If I hadn't just bought a DA...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W 610 10mm Revolver - anybody use one?

    Have a 6" 610 I bought used probably 15 years ago. Don't reload, so I can't help you there. But it's an awesome pistol. I think mine had some trigger work done by the original owner because when shooting single action the trigger breaks at about 2.5 pounds. Between the long sight radius and...

    First suppressor decisions???

    As others have said, it really depends on what features are most important to you. There are always tradeoffs. The shortest, lightest can won't be the best at noise suppression. An ultra durable can that's great at suppression and reducing flash won't be the lightest can. Cans that do the...

    Suppressors Dead Air Suppressor Quality

    Once again, Sniper's Hide costs me money. Purchased an R556 and now am thinking I need an R22 as well, if any are still available. I've got a very nice .22 pistol with a threaded barrel. Putting an R22 on the end of it would be the tits. Of course the problem is not so much the cost of the...

    Suppressors Suppressor Suggestions For SBR.

    I think you make a fair point. Very few of us own a large variety of suppressors. I suspect I own more than most with a Dead Air Sandman S, a Dead Air Nomad TI, an older model Sig and a LaRue Tranquilo. I also have a Dead Air Sierra in jail and a KGM R556 I also just ordered. I can't say...

    Suppressors Suppressor Suggestions For SBR.

    So I'll weigh in here. I've probably put 500+ rounds through a Sandman S attached to a DD Mk18 upper. And I shoot lefty, so I'm a lot more aware of back pressure than you righties. For me back pressure on the Sandman has pretty much been a non-issue. In a perfect world would I prefer the...

    LaRue Big Bore Match Grade Uppers

    I like LaRue. But for the same price I can get a CLE upper in .308 or 6.5CM with a Krieger barrel. Use a Douglas barrel and I can save a couple of hundred dollars. And I can pick up an Aero Precision stripped lower for less than a LaRue and build out the lower exactly how I want. No real...

    Crye alternatives? (In green)

    I have a couple of pairs of these pants. They are very basic, but fit me extremely well and are super comfortable. Also can be tough to find in stock, so if they have a size that works for you I'd grab a pair. The ones I have don't have rear pockets and are button fly, which I've always found...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    Shot some of the 75gr. a couple of days ago out of my CLE 18" upper with a Nightforce 2.5-20x scope. Five shot groups at 100 yards from worst to best were: 1.0", 1.0", .75", .6" and .5". Then shot one 10 shot group of 1.0". Bipod up front, small Precision Underground bag at the rear. Weather...

    5.56 Semi Auto Suppressors - Titanium?

    Some really interesting info here. Particularly E. Bryant. Many thanks. Personally, I've never obsessed over db's. I have several suppressors and other than thinking my DA Nomad TI is slightly quieter and has a better "tone" than my Sandman S, would be hard pressed to rank which is quietest...

    5.56 Semi Auto Suppressors - Titanium?

    OP - I'd honestly be a little wary about relying on a forum to tell you the outward limits of a particular can. Just because XYZ poster says can A can run through two mags full auto, but not a third doesn't mean it's true. And of course I suspect barrel length, type of ammo and, I suppose even...

    Larue Siete available to order

    IDK - still think the uppers are a decent value. And I do like the MBT triggers. But I did get into a massive p*ss*ng contest with someone on another forum for saying I was extremely disappointed with the Siete. Crappy stock. Multiple barrels but not the smartest selection of calibers. And...

    Form 1, Form 4, SBR's

    I'm still trying to figure this all out, but I thought I read something that if you are registering an AR with a pistol brace, you were not required to engrave your receiver. Have also been trying to do an electronic filing and keep getting a message that I cannot connect to ATF sight. Really...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    OK, now you guys have me confused. :D Let's do a little thought experiment. Suppose I have a rifle that theoretically is capable of 1/2 MOA at 100 yards - i.e. if shot by a "perfect" shooter. But I'm not a perfect shooter. So when I get behind the rifle the best I can do is 1 MOA. In...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    Ronws - I think most of these comments are meant to be good natured ribbing. So you actually get some props for not letting this thread turn into a giant p*ss*ng contest that ends up with posters calling one another mouse d*ck and f*gg*t.

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    I really love this forum. Poster brags about what tack drivers his cheap rifles are. Then posts a single two shot group to prove it. :) That's all he has because he throws away his targets so a potential jury doesn't discover what a stone cold sniper he is. :D Believe it or not, all of my...
