I have seen silencer/suppressor bodies made out of old car shock absorber cylinders . They look pretty strong, the ends were welded on then threaded. The last one I played with was on a BXP 9mm carbine, a bit loud to my ears, probably poorly designed internals. Nothing wrong with experimenting... ho...

The status at the moment with regards to gun ownership is chaos! Only about 10 people have been granted licences since the new Firearm Control Act came into effect last year. Even though they are not openly saying it, the government would like at total ban on all guns. Silencers were on the "pr...

I spoke to Gavin yesterday, he would prefer to speak to you himself about the design of his silencer and about any pics being posted.

His email: [email protected]
I can only post pics of the outside of his silencer.

I seriously doubt if it's a silencer, why would anyone silence an artillery piece? Assuming it can be done. Besides doesn't look like the silencer can elevate or depress, so it would have to fire from a fixed elevation, which wouldn't be of much use in combat. I'd hazard a guess that it could be bal...

Mike, haven't taken any pics yet. If you want, I will take the can apart this weekend and snap a few.
Do you want me to mail them to you directly, I don't know if PCArms will mind hosting them??
Cheers.

The eccentric wiped can is what I have on my Glock, it is VERY quiet. I know Gavin was working on a KAC MK23 type suppressor, I haven't looked at the guts yet.
I'll call him this week to get some info, but he's moved premises so he might be a little busy..

The "sound moderator" on that site is a smaller copy of the old Parker Hale design with mild steel cup baffles. Performance of that unit will never compare to todays modern designs. Years ago a friend had one fitted to his single shot BSA .22, and I remember that it was quiet loud. They us...

Apparently, it can with prolonged use, but I am no expert. I heard that the force of firing transfers the stresses to the frame, causing failure. At what round count / load I don't know. Hence some manf building Recoil Boosters. I have fired over 500 subsonic 147gr rounds through my Glock 17 with a ...
