Re: Uzi end cap?

I got one from Gemtech. It was for their multi mount but I used it with my Thompson machine Isis. It worked great and looked way better than threading the barrel.

Re: How much hassle is a SBR?

It's not too much of a hassle. You have to fill out and get approved a 5320.20 for crossing state lines. You can have them dated for 365 days. I only take mine out of state once a year, but say you love in one state and shoot in another, you can submit a form with dates of Jan 1-Dec 31 and be good. ...

Re: Any place to trade in a used can?

I'm curious what kind of cans guys are looking at giving up? I understand there is much better technology in suppression than just a few short years ago, but I could find a use for even the crappiest can! If it were truly a worthless performing can, it'd be cooler to cut it in half lengthways for di...

Re: .22 Conversion issues

Yep, big improvement over the old one! I thought about silver soldering a hunk of steel to the old on and filing out a feed ramp, but figured it was worth the money (and hassle) of getting one from JAC(ass). If you can get them on the phone, it'd be better as you could be sure you have the current p...

Re: I finally finished my form1 can

I have a quick question about machining come baffles with integral spacers. Is there any positive or negatives to making the spacer before or after the baffle? In my limited lathe skills, it seems easier to machine the spacer after the baffle vs the 'M' style where it is before and surrounds the con...

Re: .22 Conversion issues

As far as working on them, I doubt you'll have much luck. But your best bet is to contact the guys at Black Dog, they sell spare parts for the conversions and mya be able to help you out.

Re: Handgun and 300blk out suppressor

A little general and then specific advice... General advice is that cans are basically a lifetime purchase. Practically nobody buy/sells used cans. That being said, find what you want and if it takes six months or a year more of saving, do it! I bought an SAS stainless .30 cal can. It's solid as can...

Re: A little advice on this design please.

I finally finished up my 300 can yesterday. I went with two cones and three K's. First cone was a 30*, then a 60*. I used an SDTA 6" Ti tube and 316 stainless internals. It ended up weighing in at 21 ounces. It will live in my 8.5" 300 Blk SBR 90% of the time. I could have probably made it...

My AC556 has semi, burst, and full auto settings. It has the ratchet system so if you are off the trigger quick enough for two rounds, you only get one shot the next pull. I use it for FA beginners and with the .22 kit. It's pretty easy to get two shots in full auto so that's how I normally have it ...

Re: What about living on a sailboat with Nfa items?

I'm definitely not an expert, but I would think that a trust with someone else having a more 'standard' address would be an easy way to do it. A trusted friend or relative could be a trustee and thus could have their address as the trusts address and then both of you could legally posess the class I...

I've always been curious about suppressing a 'normal' revolver. Everyone says the barrel cylinder gap will mess it up, but has anyone done it and gotten hard numbers on it? I'm just curious how much noise would escape. It would definitely depend on the revolver, too. A nice tight Freedom Arms has mu...
