Re: 223 Gold Dot on Deer

nice one, it baffles me that people say its not enough for deer even with modern bullets but say its enough for humans with a 200 year old bullet design (FMJ) I don't know anyone that thinks the 5.56mm is enough round for combat. I have a picture of a Hi-Lux I lit up with a PFC in Baghdad. We each ...

Re: 223 Gold Dot on Deer

I killed my first deer ever last season using a 5.56 from my 16.1" DDM4. The entrance broke 3 ribs, the heart and lungs were severely damaged, and the exit took out another 2 ribs. Shot her behind the shoulder, text book. She took off down a hill and made it 70 yards before flopping over lifele...

Re: 5.56 SBR barrel length question

A 14.5" barrel weapon with a Surefire or AAC "Mini" will be quieter at the shooter's ear, have a 200+fps advantage, and be more gentle on every component of the system compared to a 10.3" gun with a Specwar 762. It will only be 1.5-2" longer and weight about the same, not co...

Re: Damage from installing silencer?

I'm running a suppressor on a 10.3" barrel. Have had no issues except as of yesterday it double fed 7 times. I'm thinking a pipe cleaner through the gas tube may clear tha problem...unless someone has a better solution to offer. Yes. Doublefeeds are a magazine problem, and never stick s--t in ...

Re: Has anyone metered the Surefire SOCOM556-RC?

Both are good choices. The SF can you mentioned will meter in the mid 130's based on all of the data I have seen. Can't beat either company's support.

Re: Shorty 5.56 cans

Mini4, but still need ear pro. Oh I have no delusions about using a moderator, which is what these short cans really are on the 5.56. Still, if you had to shoot a guy in your house, would you want an A2 at the end of your carbine, or a moderator. I think I'd want the moderator on that thar weapon. ...

10.3" gov profile barrel with 0.081" gas port?

Would this be over-gassed for the below application? I want to run it with an H2 buffer and mil-spec action spring. It would see cheap MFS/Wolf ammo without a suppressor, as well as M855 with a suppressor and may see very limited use on an M16 lower, suppressed. Would the gas-port size be the best c...

Have you heard the mini at all on a 300BLK? If so, obviously not side-by-side, but was it close enough to be half-dozen-one-or-the-other?

Re: Which will be the most effective muzzle device?

A very casual comparison of 5 RD at a time, three cycles each, outdoors, at high noon. No opportunity to observe flash. Note that all three have a 14.5" barrel. The results may well vary with barrel length. The MAMS had an almost complete lack of muzzle movement but with more felt recoil than ...

Very nice! Have you fired supersonic ammo through it? How does that compare to your MK1 Ear with 5.56 and a full-size Surefire 5.56 can? Also, what length is that barrel? How "nose-heavy" is that setup compared to a 16.1" carbine without a can? Do they feel similar if held at the sam...

The mount was a horrible idea, what with two friction-inducing tapered surfaces and the heat/carbon and all. They would have had people using strap-wrenches and unscrewing mounts left and right. Kudos to them for not putting it out, and I hope they are fixing their mounts and coming out with somethi...
