Re: How could AAC improve the Element 2?

From someone owning several rimfire cans( Spectre II, Sparrow, Element 2), they are all excellent cans. Don't like the first round pop from the sparrow's mono core design. All stainless baffles for ultrasonic cleaning purposes is helpful. Don't care for removable rear mounts as removable items(threa...

Re: Shotgun Silencers

Europe seems to be forging ahead in the shotgun suppressor market. Here is just one example I found with a quick search, including a clever temp attachment system. Video is worth a look for illustrative purposes only. This link shows a shot of this UK company's baffle design. http://www.saddleryandg...

Re: $1800 762SDN-6??

Seems to be a lot of capitalist around these days. Indeed.

Know of a retail store in Texas that had a couple 9" and 12" 300 BLK AAC in stock just the other day. They were only asking retail $1080? rings a bell. A buddy purchased one and was happy to pay regular sticker price. PM me if your interested in purchasing via Texas.

Perhaps the sales volume projections and/or margin was too small for freedom arms. Remember, AAC is no longer a mom/pop owned business.

Re: Dip question

the stainless tray has lots of holes so most liquid drains back into vessel. I transfer each baffle or mono core depending on suppressor I'm cleaning directly into an ultrasonic cleaner with purple power solution.

Re: Eliminating the blackouts tuning fork ping

I took my SPRM4 5.56 flashhider mount and cut back the forks by removing approx 1/4 inch of material removed from all 3 prongs, the ringing stopped-period.

Re: OK, who's going to thread a Browning 1911-22 Compact

I dont think it can be done. Looking at one a couple weeks ago the end of the barrel looks bell shaped. There is not a barrel bushing like a 1911 .45.

Cool little .22lr, but suppressed I dont see how.

Re: Model-7 rifles

Is the 300 blackout rifle stock is plastic molded or fiberglass? I ask for aftermarket glass bedding purposes.
Also, any thoughts on leupold low or medium rings on this rifle? Say the scope objective is 30mm as with main tube.
