    Suppressors Can for 308 SBR?

    So that is easy. All supersonic rounds are not ear safe. None. Add to that a short barrel .30 or 6.5 full load through a can and you add blast dB as well. You have no choice but subsonic for ear safe. Subs also solve your can problem. I shoot both sub .308 and 6.5s they are quiet. Muff up and...

    Suppressors Can for 308 SBR?

    Honestly, there are real +s and -s with this one. Subsonic will suppress well and the shorter barrel will not matter. Supersonic .308 full loads will bark badly at 12" and depending on the powder used, could still be spitting burning propellant throughout the can. That translates to loud, hot...

    Suppressors Sionics design...?

    Victor, If one was to legally manufacture a suppressor and wanted the absolutely best performance possible, the process would begin with a "What host?" discussion. It could very well be a disadvantage to build a FA can for anything other than a FA host.

    Suppressors Sionics design...?

    To answer your question, the Sionics cans came in a number of iterations, some worked much better than others. As example the Sionics patented D.G. Thomas' "Perf Spiral" would be a gross under performer by today's baffle standards. As would the gas valve (SS/MAW), as would the original primary...

    Suppressors NFA trust vs. family trust vs. individual?

    He said looking up in disbelief "this is the problem, these folks do not know the law. One never, repeat never, places NFA items into anything other than a fully fire-walled and separate NFA Trust. Only NFA items go into that Trust. That is rule #1. Anybody tells you otherwise, run away."...

    Cutting foam in a pelican case

    Another excellent technique is to round the cut corners off with a low flame. Practice this with spare cut out corners until you master it as it takes just enough heat to make it work well. Some folks use a butane lighter, others a heat gun, some a small torch. What you can get is a perfect...

    Inside the ear electronic ear protection???

    Mikey, Are you saying that when you have your headphones on and accidentally bump them up against your stock that the resulting hit makes your ears ring inside your headphones? If that is the case you are going to have to start taking the whole protection thing pretty seriously. I recommend...

    Suppressors Sub-caliber suppression levels for QD/BA cans

    My fault for not making it clear enough. "that running ANY brake-mount has the potential to disrupt the gas flow through the suppressor" No, the disruption provided by a QD brake with its ports closed off to the external environment is so minimal as to not matter in regard to suppression. The...

    Suppressors Sub-caliber suppression levels for QD/BA cans

    BO, a thoughtful question. If we set aside the great variations to be found in the QD brakes designs themselves, the can's entry galley, the design of the blast baffle and its primary chamber, the variations in the equally critical secondary chamber/baffle, the short answer is that impact on dB...

    Desired humidity % for inside safe

    Outlaw, Pinecone says " But removing moisture from the air in the safe will pull more moisture into the safe. " This is for unsealed safes. Using a heater exacerbates this enormously as the heater sends the warm air out the top of the safe and draws in much more air from the bottom. Think...

    Desired humidity % for inside safe

    Anything under 90-80% prevents rust? Anything over 60% is going to rust most bare metals over time. Only two kinds of safes, sealed and unsealed, knowing which you have is where you start. Fire seals have to swell to seal. In fact most safes use water in their liners to protect the contents...

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    I am at a loss here folks. Been around razor sharp knives my whole life and not once did I need anything that looks like these by way of design or expense to get a razor sharp blade. What are you folks doing with your knives that require more than a quality porcelain rod or at worse a steel and...
