    Suppressors How does my monocore look? .22LR

    Ben, The good news is all of this is simple now that you understand that sending subs down a gas tapping integral only reduces the velocity....again. So, here we go. If both cans are identical, a blast suppressor sitting IN your barrel is not louder or quieter than a blast can screwed to the...

    Suppressors How does my monocore look? .22LR

    Ben, Having 1,000s of rounds of subsonic is an important data point! Though I would refrain from posting that as a matter of routine. In that case, I would proceed as follows: 1. Answer these two questions: "Is it a top priority that my build be a 16" suppressed barrel?" and "Is it a top...

    Suppressors How does my monocore look? .22LR

    BenY, I am going to take it that you would like to put all this effort into your project and never have to return to it. 1. What is the OD of your barrel and what is the final length? 2. What action? 3. Integral right? A gas tapper...or do you mean a "dedicated" suppressor? 4. If it is an...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pimp my pig sticker project

    A picture would tell a 1000 words on this project. 99% of the time is is always best to just leave it alone as it was the "using" of it that sets it apart from the shelf queens. There are plenty of smiths around that could do it, fewer that have any time other than to build their own, fewer...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns kukri

    I don't know, so many choices, hard to tell. I went with Meheima Madraisa's "Dis 1 Ready Soon." He has sold those to some of the best competitive Kukri fighters out there. Nice guy, fantastic heat treating and he only uses steel straight from Weider.

    They best finish for that pistol is actually more difficult than all mentioned thus far, but, if you willing to do the work, it's cost are nominal.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Barrel for Suppressor?

    You can find 6" barrels all over the place, they too are not cheap. The cost is not in the threading or the cap, though plenty have blown it right there. Then there is the very real issue of link pin fit, bushing tolerances and the type of shoulder barrel facing your .45 suppressor will run best...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns North American Arms Mini Revolvers

    Serious topic this, as serious as it gets. The truth of it is that your job is a higher risk proposition than a majority of folks that carry. The issue I have is that you must understand that that pistol has a number of very real limitations and only one great strength. The great strength is...
