Re: Suppressing a .257 Weatherby Mag.

I hunt with a .257 Wby necked up to 6.5mm (6.5/257 Wby) I use a Thunderbeast 6.5 Ultra 7 and it sounds great. Hearing safe. Light weight. With the best modern designs, there is no need to go up to the 9" can.

Re: AAC Element(1) tube thread pitch

Does anyone know the thread pitch for the AAC Element(1) front and end cap ? Same question SWR Spectre(1) Thanks Unless you are an 07/02 it doesn't matter as you can't have extra silencer parts and only 07/02's will need that to make a replacement. I understand that. When I contact an 07/02, it may...

Re: Chronograph Question

I recently got the one made by Competition Electronics, I am thrilled with it. It always works. Before I had a more expensive PACT and it was a POS. Go to Midway USA and read the reviews on all the chrony's. CE had the best reviews by far, and IIRC it was only ~$99 or so.

Re: 44 Mag loads - can they get better?

Sanding the burrs, alone, did nothing. Placing a temporary pressure point at end of fore-end shrunk groups by 1/2. (ear plug box .032" thick). Will make a more permanent fix, then evaluate further. Looks good so far. 5 shot group at 50yds went from 2.2" to 1.12" IIRC. Only had enough ...

Re: Rifle and midlength don't work.

Is it just me, or is something wrong with their brass forming procedure around post #15 ? They describe necking FL .223 cases up to .308 in steps. Sound like they're leaving it full length. Have they ever even done this before ? Sounds like they're making it up as they go.

Re: Thunder Beast 30P-1 vs. Liberty Freedom

Me and a customer recently shot the Cyclone and 30P-1 side by side on 20" bolt guns (.308) with the same ammo. Neither of us could tell a difference in sound reduction. They were both just a little quieter than my older SCAR-H SD. (to our ears)

Do they offer dealer pricing on these, or are they the same price for everybody ? I have a customer waiting on F4 for his Ti-rant. He'd probably buy one.

Re: the "new" element and the "dip"

Let me start by saying I sell and recommend more AAC cans than any other brand. The M4-1000 and 2000, the 7.62 SD, the Cyclone, the Ti-rants. With .22 cans, I consider the Element and Spectre the top 2 choices. Most of my customers are not as well-versed in current cans, as the people on this board....

Re: SHOT / 2011 rumors?

If AAC really is going to do an integral Ruger Mk III, I hope it is completely aluminum free (the can part) SS or Ti only. Dipable. And it should sound at least as good as an Element on a 4" Ruger.

Once you get it, there are a few things you can do to preserve the resale value : Strip the lower down to the bare receiver and use replacement parts (trigger, buffer tube, buffer, etc) as to not put wear on the originals.
