Re: Cycling issues with Saker 762

Re: Silencerco's Maxim Vice Event Pictures! Check in!

Do you recall SiCo specifically stating the Hybrid is GTG up to .338L? A few other attendees or at least the posts are reporting .458SOCOM/45-70Gv't.

Re: Are .22 shot shells OK to use with a silencer?

Still want to see that video of the sparrow with the 5.56!

I shot a .22 shotshell through a sparrow with no ill effects. No lead shot rolling around either. Still wouldn't recommend it. It was an accident; I had a bunch of random .22 mixed in a bucket.

Re: Blowback on Optic

DD MK18 uppers are notoriously over-gassed as is. When you add a suppressor you are increasing the gas even more so keep that in mind. An adjustable gas block would be a nice thing to have for that upper. You should always shoot center-fire rifle cans dry. Other than that I would imagine the oil cou...

Assuming I am going for 5.56 (maybe 300 AAC), what's the difference between the Silencerco suppressors? For example, the Omega and Specwar seem to have similar suppression capability (130db). What else should I be looking at when comparing these two options? Weight and length mainly as they both us...

Re: Saker mounting options. New to this.

Honestly as tight as the Saker mount locks on I wouldn't hesitate to put a flash hider on your precision guns. It would be much easier then switching between the direct thread and trifecta mounting modules. Either way will work great though.

Re: Saker mounting options. New to this.

Suppressors usually fall in to two categories; Quick detach (QD) or thread on. Thread on are most common on pistol,rimfire and precision rifle applications. QD are common on centerfire rifle cans meant for heavy firing schedules like a carbine course, three gun, full auto etc. QD ensures your can do...

No need to clean a centerfire rifle can as long as you don't shoot .22 or cast lead bullets through it.

    Could be host related as well. I've had hosts that unlock too quickly ring my ears with my 9mm osprey. (G19 and HK USP) Other hosts like my Beretta 92fs are scary quiet.
