Re: 9mm rifle subsonic load data?

Good point ECCO, I forgot to post the velocity. My notes show:

-- Rainier 147, 3.7 CFE Pistol, 1.135 OAL, was 960 FPS.

-- Same everything except 3.8 CFE Pistol and 1.100 OAL was 1,012 FPS.

Re: 9mm rifle subsonic load data?

Shooting my Ti-Rant 9 on a PC9 takedown I got 121.8 dBA with a 147 TC and 3.7 CFE Pistol. Not to say that's the perfect load; actually it's one of the first I've tried. This load/rifle metered 149.1 unsuppressed. At my right ear it metered 139.1. Yep, sounds a lot like a blowback 9mm. So while it su...

Re: Switch Back .22 Silencerco

I can see where playing with the stack on a rifle length barrel could change things. I've used a strain gauge to record the uncorking pressures on 4" .22 pistols and 16"-19" .22 rifles, and with a rifle there just isn't much pressure to work with. Good on 'em for playing around and mo...

Re: action noise and suppressor hosts

I'll change my vote from bolt or falling block to a more generic locked breech and manual action of some type. Long barrels vs. short. And wipes. Wipes and ablatives are good :mrgreen: Enough wipes change the sound from a muffled bang or phew to "click". People who are very experienced wit...

Re: action noise and suppressor hosts

Agreed on strikers being quiet and 10/22s being really noisy. I've metered my Welrod on an empty case at 89.7 (87.3-90.5), and my 10/22 bolt drop feeding a CCI Std Vel at 116.8 (114.0-120.3). Compare the bolt drop to a 19" pump action .22 firing CCI Std Vel with a Regulator at 118.0 (116.0-119....

Re: Back to Past: Shaper

Yeah, a beautiful piece. I remember reading as a kid about some gun writer touring the Winchester plant and seeing model 70s quietly being created by rows of shapers. Probably why they were too expensive to make that way... Point is, I love how quiet they are. Mostly a hum and a ZZZZZ noise.

Re: Single point threading titanium tube

I imagine everyone does this, but the way I cut threads up to a shoulder or into a blind hole is to set up a stationary dial indicator in a magnetic mount so the point will touch the carriage, and set it so it has 4-5 full rotations until the end of the cut, with the needle ending up straight up at ...

Re: My first milling machine!

I bought a Jet R8 chuck and collet set that has been nice, but I wasted money on the full set. It must be close to 20 years old and there are collets I still haven't used. That said it is nice being able to change end mill sizes w/o having to mess with the drawbar. http://www.jettools.com/us/en/p/cc...
