    Sidearms & Scatterguns Question on old 1939 colt Police positive

    Well friend, there are few cartridges that are so poorly covered on the web as the 32 CTG. It has been that way for quite some time. The good news is that the 32 S&W long , 32 Colt new police and the 32-44 target should serve you equally well here. The important point is that you remember that...

    Be careful here. If you shoot subs you are taking less velocity and dropping it even more. Dangerously low and unstable enough to trash a baffle or endcap. Also, without exception subs use the filthiest of all powders, are all unplated, and cost more. The fact that they cycle is immaterial as...

    Suppressors Best Integral MkII, Quiet and Ability to Take Apart and Clean a Must.

    Now we are getting somewhere. So my Mark III integral cycled terribly as well. Literally could not finish a clip without a misfire (light strike). Never had an issue with IIs. Back it went to the factory and they checked it all out and sent it back. Depending on ammo brand, same thing. I ended...

    Suppressors cleaning suppressors?

    QD mounts and entry is different than cleaning the guts. Already got great advise from corn cob to ultrasonic (NEVER touch the liquid with the unit on). Let the can's stack get filthy as it will get much quieter, the disruption of unspent particulate is an integral part of the suppression for...

    University? Research shit? Ok....a little hint I picked up as a Sloan Fellow at MIT, some folks are closed minded and you have to approach them gently. Make a suggestion to them "perhaps targets would be in order?" and leave them on a positive note "good luck" and be generous as in help them...

    Suppressors Best Integral MkII, Quiet and Ability to Take Apart and Clean a Must.

    Sure, I'll give it my best. But, the he said, they said, stuff ends now. There have been too many important changes to baffles/materials for anybody to say that nothing has changed for 15 years and that's a good thing. It isn't. Titanium stacks have really helped the .22 integrals, as has better...

    AWC's 50 is quieter than an unsuppressed .22. On your request for .22 suppressor, you better ask to see targets as well. Most of the take apart integrals with open cores suck for accuracy as the barrels are not held in tension. I always liked a super accurate and quiet .22, never needed them to...

    Suppressors Thompson Machine The Operative TD (Take-Down Complete Rifle)

    Badlander has No porting in its barrel. No proper RIFLE length barrel's porting is a "novelty" in an integral, it is mandatory. FRP in any of the Amphibians (Badlander) is negated by a light pray of thinnest oil (say Winoil), gone if present. Use the aerosol thin tube from the muzzle end and...

    That the barrel is short? That it can't group? That it can't precharge? What? What? :>

    "1235 fps Mini Mag is supersonic. The ported barrel design reduces the velocities to sub-sonic. While the AWC integral design is nice, it's not user-servicable." Koz, seems I missed the minimag part. What I read was... "This was the quietest factory suppressed rifle I've ever shot. We put a...

    Suppressors Thompson Machine The Operative TD (Take-Down Complete Rifle)

    This is not an "integral" design. This is nothing more than a "dedicated" design. No wonder it is the quietest suppressor you have ever heard, you are shooting sub-sonics thru a shortened barrel into a huge can. Any "integral" design must tap gas by definition. Any "integral" design must start...

    45-70?

    In a world where heavy metal takes a back seat and one does everything possible to flatten out the rainbow trajectory of yore...well, you got guts asking. I probably have thirty years into the venerable 45-70 and think of it with the same reverence as the .45acp. In fact, in may ways, they are...
