    TRG-41 Info

    How is recoil with the early-style two-port small-diameter muzzle brake? $2600 plus tax is asking price (with an included Sako throw-lever scope mount). For an unfired TRG-41...I'm not sure whether it would be worth spending a few hundred more to get a standard TRG-42 or not. Thoughts?

    TRG-41 Info

    Anyone here have any hands-on experience with the TRG-41? Are there any significant downsides to buying a 41 as opposed to a newer 42? Do they use the same magazine? Would the KRG folding stock fit the 41? Given that the 41 comes with a non-threaded muzzle brake, does it kick considerably...

    Suppressors NFA Trust bank account?

    Law is a set of ideal rules set forth by the politicians. Policy is what determines whether you actually wind up in handcuffs or not. Bureaucracies are composed of people, directed and authorized by law, who create and use their policies upon the public. To ignore the role of the human in...

    Suppressors NFA Trust bank account?

    Let me be clear: I don't expect ATF to arrest NFA owners because of paperwork typos. On the other hand, there is absolutely zero legislative protection against exactly such a situation. ATF can approve or disapprove forms any which way they'd like, and they can also retroactively decide that a...

    Suppressors Best way to eliminate suppressor mirage?

    What about some means of just creating an effective mirage band above the suppressor? Off the top of my head at 2:00 in the morning, I'm imagining a polymer or metal structure that attaches to the can fore and aft with narrow adjustable bands, and has a flat surface sitting 1 or 2" above the...

    Suppressors NFA Trust bank account?

    If ATF really wants to retroactively arrest tens of thousands of NFA owners, then we're all fucked, plain and simple. They can find a million and one reasons to do so, without even having to make shit up beforehand. "You failed to properly capitalize the middle initial of your name in the...

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    What's puzzling the hell out of me is...how are these not stable? I'm almost 2 grains of TB higher than you and still not stable with the 178gr AMAX, using the same barrel length and twist rate. FWIW, I did fire a few rounds of factory 225gr subsonic, and it sounded virtually identical in...

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    Updates: At 12.0 grains of Trail Boss, the 178gr AMAX still fails to properly stabilize at 100 yards. Slight yawing is noticeable in the holes, but it appears to be grouping near MOA. The 200gr Lapua is still keyholing strongly, but the "group" tightened up from 12+ inches down to maybe 5-6"...

    I've made corrections by striking through the error, writing over it, and sending it back in. That seems to be what our examiner wants, as far as I can tell..

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    So I did some experimenting, and tried 178gr AMAX with 11.5 grains of Trail Boss. At 100 yards the paper appeared to be showing slight signs of keyholing, so I didn't try any through the suppressor. Accuracy appeared to be in the 1 MOA vicinity, but as I wasn't really trying for groups I...

    Suppressors Silenced America...anybody heard from those guys lately?

    If BATFE hasn't cashed it, and it's been two months, I'd check with NFA branch regarding the serial number. If they show nothing pending, and no check cashed...it's time to send it in again.

    Remington wins the PSR,

    I recall shooting an earlier version of this rifle back in 2009 or 2010 at a demo shoot. I shot it so briefly that there wasn't any time to gain a good opinion on the performance itself of the platform, but as a rifle per se it completely failed to impress. Awkward ergonomics, poor balance...

    Suppressors Do I really need to use an 18" rather than 24" barrel with a .308 suppressor?

    Bingo. Plus, it's an autoloader using FAL magazines - also a big negative. IMO, the overall length of the RFB with the 24" barrel and a suppressor probably isn't as bad as you think, simply because it's already a very short rifle (comparable in length to a folded AICS 2.0, for instance). The...

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    Using the JBM stability calculator, at 1000 FPS the 178gr should have a stability factor of 1.869. Seems like this should be sufficient to leave a decent margin for error...or am I missing something? Is there really any way to tell besides shooting 3-5 rounds each at say, 10, 50, and 100 yards...

    Suppressors Best affordable 308 can?

    Technically you can build your own suppressor at 18 using a firearm trust (or individual Form 1 if you can get a CLEO signoff). The restriction is on transfer of a non-rifle, non-shotgun firearm (the silencer) to an individual under the age of 21 from a dealer (essentially, the 4473 portion of...
