    Suppressors Question on Surefire brake on DTA

    If I remember right they were using our FA338SS suppressors which has a 3/4X24 adapter for that photo shoot.

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    This is the exact reason I have the Geiselle bore rods. I have seen more than one barrel that was way off.

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    Have you dropped a bore alignment rod down the barrel to see how bad it is? The reason being is even if you open up the brake the threads seem to already be not even close to concentric to the bore and if the rounds are hitting the brake a few inches in front of the barrel when you put on the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    I use Fireclean on my guns and it is the best working so far. I use it extensively on my suppressed firearms and they run like sewing machines. I just add more lube if I am doing a lot of shooting and the carbon doesn't cake on like other lubricants I have tried.

    Surefire SOCOM suppressor trainer

    The Training suppressor is designed to mimic the exact size and weight of the real suppressor but allow you not to have to worry about baffle strikes with frangible ammo. Frangible ammo has a very high tendency of coming apart a lot of times even before it leaves the muzzle. This suppressor has...

    Suppressors Compatibility of a FA762SS on a FH762K03 Flash Hider???

    It is not compatible. That flash hider is designed for the FA762K style suppressor not the reflex suppressor that the 762SS is.

    Suppressors Will Surefire muzzle brake cause crown fouling and accuracy issues?

    It doesn't necessarily have to be the brake or the adapter that is off to get a baffle strike. I have also seen first hand factory barrels that the bore was not concentric to the threads and I had a bad lot of ammo that in two different guns was unstable and caused baffle strikes. Because of the...

    Suppressors Will Surefire muzzle brake cause crown fouling and accuracy issues?

    I had over 5K rounds through my OBR with the MB762-211C on it and it never effected accuracy before I put a SOCOM flash hider on the same rifle.

    Suppressors Surefire 7.62 SOCOM on 556

    Running a 7.62 suppressor is of course not going to be optimal. The SBR suppressor is designed specifically for barrels shorter than 10 inches where bullet instability is a huge concern. Running a 762RC on a 10 inch 5.56 gun is going to be louder and of course heavy. While yes you can do it you...

    Suppressors SUREFIRE---I don't think so!!!!

    I totally understand what you are saying but I can honestly say this is not my job. I handle military sales but I have been in the long range shooting game since way before I started at Surefire and I got on this forum in 2006 when I was still focusing on shooting scumbags in far off lands. I...

    Suppressors SUREFIRE---I don't think so!!!!

    I apologize for you having bad customer service when trying to get your questions answered. We had to lay some people off last year and unfortunately it tied up phones because there were less people to answer them and some of the guys that knew what they were talking about in regards to the...

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    Richard, Not a problem. Glad I could be of help. Depending on how over gassed the rifle is the buffer will at least slow down that bolt speed and hopefully also fix the bolt catch issue. Good luck.

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    Richard, If you are running an over gassed gun without the suppressor definitely get a heavier buffer or an adjustable gas block now rather than later. The faster that bolt is cycling the more wear and tear you are putting on your rifle. When you put the suppressor on you are adding even more...

    Suppressors AR action not cycling fully with TBAC 30P-1 attached

    Try a heavier buffer and you should be good. It sounds like your bolt is moving to fast for the bolt catch to come up in time before the bolt is already past it. The majority of the time you can switch to a heavier buffer and it will not cause any kind of reliability issues. An adjustable gas...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM 556 QD Derp!

    I rarely clean my guns and just keep adding lube. I shot 1,500 rounds at a 2 day course with my 10 inch LWRC and I just wiped it off after each day added more lube and it ran like a champ. I put a little fireclean on the adapter and the inside of the suppressor also and it seems like the crud...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM 556 QD Derp!

    That suppressor was tested by SOCOM on their Colt 14.5 and 10.3 inch rifles and that is what they chose. Your magazines will get a little dirty but that is just due to blockback. I have put thousands of rounds through my rifles at Carbine courses with no issues. If I am at a high round count...
