    Suppressed Savage 110 FCP HS.

    Savage Arms I need an opinion from anyone who has owned or shot a suppressed Savage 110 FCP HS in 338 Lapua. This is their 338 Lapua with the conventional stock and not the 110 BA with the tactical stock. I can get one for about $1400. I held one at the store and it felt nice, better than...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    For only the second time since 2002 when I made my first silencer, I was asked for proof of registration. This was the first time I was asked in WA State. Last Saturday was one of those rare days when I forgot to bring my ATF form 1 copies with me to the range. I was told I couldn’t shoot unless...

    Pistol grips, how do they affect lethality?

    I am arguing with an ex-Air Force airsoft/paint ball aficionado about how pistol grips on assault rifles and sniper rifles affect their lethality on the battle field. It is my opinion that while they make for a more compact firearm as the hand is positioned more under the receiver instead of...

    Shooting 200 yard steel with 22lr and 510 whisper.

    Had some more fun at the rifle range today. It took me eight years to talk my wife into shooting a rifle and she finally allowed me to bring her to the range after silencer use became legal in WA. She started out on a Savage MKII 22lr. Shooting it suppressed with subsonic ammo makes hardly...

    Suppressors Suppressed Ruger vs Air Pistol

    I finally got a camcorder to the range so I could test my suppressed Ruger against my air pistol. While the air pistol had the edge on noise, the Ruger beat the air pistol on power, rate of fire and just plain fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvk4Xnf35xk Ranb

    Suppressors WA Silencer Bill 1016 Senate hearing 3/9/11.

    There is a Senate Judiciary hearing for bill 1016 at the O'Brien building on Wednesday at 1:30 pm. It appears that Senate bill 5112 is not going to get out of the Rules committee, so House bill 1016 will resume its normal course out of the House (where it passed 88 to 4) and into the Senate...

    I am trying to convince the Democrats in Olympia to pass bill 1604 and allow silencer use in Washington State. I made a video that might convince some of those kooks that silencers are in fact not illegal to possess in the United States. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbaOZLTex5I part 1...

    Suppressors Meeting with Rep Petersen on WA silencer bill 1604

    I and one of the members on the Northwest Firearms Forum met with Representative Jamie Petersen in Seattle to discuss House bill 1604. WA is the only state that allows silencers, but prohibits their use. This bill would make an exception for those owners who own them legally. I thought it was...

    As part of my campaign to change WA State law to allow silencer use I am going to make a video to educate people on silencer use. As many people, gun owners and legislators included think silencers are illegal, it is important to correct their misconceptions. Washington State is the only one...

    Suppressors Completed WASR can

    Form 1 submitted on June 6, approved October 15. Took long enough, but it's my first trust can. Nice to not have to get printed or the CLEO's signature. A small can eight inches long telescoping about three inches over the barrel. I had to set back the front sight, but a bit of work with...

    Suppressors Suppressed M-1 carbine

    Anyone ever shoot a suppressed m-1 carbine? I bought a Universal M-1 a few weeks ago and mounted my 300 whisper silencer on it. I have yet to see how well it shoots. The can covers the sights so I will be putting a red dot scope on it. Ranb

    Suppressors Suppressed Makarov.

    I bought a Norinco type 59 (Mak clone) years ago, and it gathered dust in the safe for a long time after a few trips to the range. After I started making silencers I thought it might be a good mount for a silencer. The only threaded barrel I could get was in 9mm Makarov. I had to turn down...

    Suppressors Silencer design

    I had a request for silencer designs suitable to make on a hobby lathe, so I thought I would post a few of my drawings. For those live in the USA so the only way to make a silencer here without a license is to submit the ATF form 1 (Application to Make and Register a Firearm). The forms can be...
