    Suppressors AAC 7.62 SDN-6 wiggleage?

    Don't know how I missed this. I do my best to sh*t all over most any post about AAC cans - esp. the POS SDN7.62-SD - whenever I can. THIS looks promising. 600 degrees F is 50% higher than Viton (400 degrees F). Interestingly, AAC uses Viton seals on the Evolution-9 can. I got mine without...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Got a call - yesterday - from the shop, my form 4 came in, I can pick up my Socom 7.62. Dammit. I've had a few days off and haven't been checking messages. Working tomorrow and Sunday, they're closed Monday. What's 3 more days, right? Form 4 trust went pending either April 28 or May6 (I've...

    Can "pink eye" kill us now?

    You can't get Ebola unless a patient has symptoms. Or so we're being told. Bullshit. I just posted something over on this virology blog I hope will start a shitstorm. We're being lied to folks. Not like that's news, but this is another nail in the coffin. Of course there's still...

    Suppressors Surefire SOCOM 556 RC

    I'm still using my first 5.56 suppressor, a TL Guns (Ty Meligan) "smidget" from 1997. I've run full-auto C-mags through it (maybe three times total when I still owned an M16 with a 10.5" barrel) and literally, tens of thousands of rounds through it mounted on a handful of guns. It still works...

    Suppressors Subsonic 308 Projectile Recommendations

    almost the exact load I came up with (Sierra 180 gn RN over about 10.8 gns of TB or even less bullseye with standard rifle primers) and it shoots well out of both a 26" barrel suppressed PSS and an LTR (whatever the length is, I forget), DOPE's not on the tip of my mind but it's fairly accurate...

    Suppressors Do Surefire Socom cans show up dirty?

    Then there's always dealers who will "test" your cans for you, run a few c-mags through to get 'em glowing a nice cherry red. Work out the bugs. You should thank them. ;)

    Does Sniper's Hide really need the constant flow of LE bashing?

    And praise where it's due. But I wonder if the firefighter's union will have some heartburn over a cop doing a fireman's job :p A Firefighter?s Helmet Camera Captured a Cop?s Moment of Pure Heroism | Video | TheBlaze.com

    Can "pink eye" kill us now?

    "Look folks, the human body is a complete mishmash of native and foreign cells; some even estimate that the human cells in the human body constitute the minority." When I was an undergrad in the 80s, it was estimated there were about 400 some odd species of bacteria "in" our bodies. I use the...

    Can "pink eye" kill us now?

    Pinkeye Was Only Symptom in Child Killed by Enterovirus - Bloomberg This is so sad. What's sadder still is how many parents are going to be bringing in their kids for me to evaluate with "pink eye" who are going to say "do you think he has that virus, that entero thing?" What do I tell them...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Called my dealer today (Engage Armament) to ask if they're getting Form 4s back from April-May yet. Yep. One from last week of April, one from first week of May. My Socom 7.62 went pending May 6 - or so I was told in June when I called ATF. Out of curiosity (and because the guy at EA...

    Suppressors 30 cal YHM Phantom ti review

    I bought two of the SS YHM Phantoms last year a the same time I bought a Surefire 5.56 socom rc. Wanted to make sure all my house carbines were suppressed. They're very solid, functional cans, but if I could rationalize spending the extra grand-plus it would have taken to upgrade to two more...

    Suppressors Socom 762-RC review.

    Thanks for a very thorough review I found informative, entertaining (as with many internet posts, the followups and comments are often the most interesting), and reassuring as I have a 7.62 Socom-RC in ATF pending land since May 5th. I'd gotten a SF 5.56 Socom-RC a week earlier and was so...
