ISO Silencerco MAAD Trifecta 1/2x28 5.56 Muzzle Device

I'm in need of a Silencerco MAAD Trifecta 1/2x28 5.56 muzzle device. I have an older Saker with the MAAD mount and a couple of rifles set up for it. I have another rifle that I'd to use with the Saker. Silencerco discontinued the MAAD mount and I'm having a heck of a time finding a muzzle device. I ...

Re: Suppressing a lever action .30-30...any tips?

There won't be enough ballistic loss to make much of a difference. 18" vs 16" ain't squat. What are you going to shoot through it? Standard ammo? Subsonic hand loads? I'm liking this project. A suppressed thuddy-thuddy lever gun is pretty cool. I don't currently reload so it will likely b...

Suppressing a lever action .30-30...any tips?

I've been trying to find a deal on a .30-30 lever action with a short mag tube for a couple of years. I wanted one to suppress but I didn't want to mess with shortening the mag tube. I finally snagged one yesterday, a Marlin 30TK. It was a version of their Texas carbine made for Kmart in 1989-1990. ...

Re: Glock 42 Threaded barrels?

Being a .380 locked breech it should be pretty quiet suppressed but I'd think it would require a pretty light suppressor to not be awkward to hold as small as the 42 is.

Re: TC Encore vs Contender

I can't speak to the Encore but I have a pair of Contenders (rifle and pistol) that make awesome suppressor hosts. The pistol is especially fun and on some days I can shoot it better than the rifle; its trigger is exceptional. I have toyed with the idea of registering one of the frames as an SBR. Ri...

Done. Went with the Saker. It just felt right. Now the wait... I'll say that one of the things that sold me on the Saker was attach/detaching it from the rifle. I preferred that to the ASR which I had messed with before. I don't know if one is really better than the other but I preferred the MADD in...

Re: One and Only 7.62 Suppressor: Saker or Omega

They stated they thought it was possible for the manufacturer to destroy a suppressor and replace it with a unit having the same serial number for a warranty issue. That would alleviate a lot of my concern about the Omega's construction. Can anyone verify whether this is true or false? No, they can...

Re: One and Only 7.62 Suppressor: Saker or Omega

I found another local dealer with cans in stock. They claimed to be the largest SilencerCo SPEQ dealer in the country and have SPEQ Omegas ready to sell. They said they could easily get a Saker serial number to start the process. I got to compare the Omega and Saker side-by-side with QD mounts insta...

Re: One and Only 7.62 Suppressor: Saker or Omega

I actually got to handle them side-by-side yesterday. It didn't help me at all and really left me more conflicted. The Saker had the QD mount installed while the Omega had direct thread and the Saker was hefty. I'm still waiting for the LEO/military discount units to arrive though. Hopefully the sho...

Re: One and Only 7.62 Suppressor: Saker or Omega

Awesome photography, that's a much-needed welcome addition to the forum. Can't have too much gun pron. I voted for the Saker because you only want one can and it is certainly the more durable of the two. Will it matter? Probably not but it sounds like that's really the can you're leaning towards be...

The pending changes coming to NFA purchases through trusts have lit a fire under me to finally make the 7.62 suppressor purchase I've been putting off for a few years.

More quiet fun at the range with Ruger 77/22 & PWS T3 Summit

My wife and I got out today to shoot some rifles. We shot my newly-threaded Ruger K77/22-VBZ and PWS T3 Summit rifles. We shot the Ruger suppressed with both super and sub sonic ammo to show the difference it can make. A supersonic, suppressed .22LR bullet actually sounds really cool in person. Clic...

My Ruger 10/22 is complete

I ran into a good deal on a Ruger 10/22-T a while ago. It's the only 10/22 I own and I wanted to turn it into a simple yet elegant (in my eyes anyway) suppressor host. Today I received and installed the last of the parts I wanted for it and I'm very happy with the outcome. The rifle started as this ...

I just got my VBZ (.22LR) back today from having the barrel shortened and threaded to match my VMBZ (.22WMR). I'm very excited to shoot the VBZ. The VMBZ has been cool but the VBZ will be much quieter. I've tried to make them as close to identical as possible: Both barrels have been shortened from 2...

Thanks. I do put a bit of work into my photos. I'm just starting on the video stuff. I have a Model 41 but I've never really considered threading it.
