    Suppressors Suppressor Questions

    Re: Suppressor Questions A suppressor of a given projectile diameter will work for any smaller projectile. However, you cannot ignore case volume. A 308 can should not be used on a 300 win mag as the latter has substantially for gas to trap by the suppressor. I have not heard specifics, but...

    Suppressors suppressors while hunting

    Re: suppressors while hunting I think suppressors were outlawed for hunting game animals in Texas as a way to make it more "sporting". Also, at one point not too long ago there were not the abundance of whitetails there are now. In east Texas, there are still some severe limitations. I...

    Ruger 10/22 Drooping Barrel

    I just purchased and built up a 10/22. I have a Tactical Solutions barrel with a Nordic chassis system. The barrel appears to be pointing low. Not surprisingly, the rifle shoots low, approximately 8" low at 50 yards with max elevation on the scope. I was thinking of picking up one of the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns XD 45acp conversion to 40sw

    Re: XD 45acp conversion to 40sw 357 sig is a necked down 40. Therefore, the breechface is exactly the same, as are the magazines. The only differences between a glock 22 and 31 are the barrel and markings. 45 acp is a rimless cartridge. It headspaces off the casemouth just like 9mm and 40.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for my 1st semi-auto handgun....

    Re: Looking for my 1st semi-auto handgun.... Before purchasing any handgun, find a range that rents guns and shoot different models to learn what fits your hand. Pistols are simple: if it fits your hand you will likely shoot it well, if it doesn't fit you will not shoot it well. You can...

    Suppressors New 1911

    Re: New 1911 For the money, you won't beat an STI. Only thing I don't like about the single stacks is that they use thin grips which makes it feel blocky. I love my 2011 Eagle but it took some work on my part to solidify reliability. I cried 15 years ago when I bought my Les Baer. Still...

    Suppressors integral for a 16" AR?

    Re: integral for a 16" AR? I saw on "Sons of Guns" last night they put an integral on an AK. Obviously this is not a blowback action. I don't know how they did it as they showed no internal pics. The gun definitely looked cool. They had the gas system enclosed within the supressor.

    Re: 338 lapua and 458 win mag 338 Lapua requires a magnum length action (3.6") 458 WM requires a standard length (30-06) action (3.34") Not all manufacturers differentiate between these two lengths. Remington long action for instance is 3.6". I think, but am not sure, winchester makes a...

    Gunsmithing fluting a mounted barrel

    Re: fluting a mounted barrel There is no possible way for a milling machine or lathe to increase the stiffness of anything. They can make the piece lighter or look cool but they can't make it heavier or stiffer.
