From my posts here: http://nfatalk.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10344 Synopsis: Is there a product that will help keep baffles clean or make cleaning easier? After getting my old AAC Evo 9 and Pilot jail broken, I started needing to deal with cleaning the baffles. Not a huge task, but I'm always looki...

For Silencer baffles it's not effective. For Firearms it works fine, but it's way too expensive. For Silencer baffles, use Silicone based oil (like DOT 5 brake fluid), FrogLube (paste works well) or Thompson Center Bore Butter (pretty much the same as FrogLube but cheaper). Silicone works well and i...

My Kimber Super Match took a lot of fitting. It wouldn't even fit into the slide at all. I used lapping compound on the outside of the barrel hood and tapped it in and out until it was nice an smooth. It took a little work, but once it was in, it was not a problem. Basically, either the hood of the ...

Sounds like a good plan. It's what I would do. It's always best to go factory when you can. With 1911's, it doesn't matter too much, there will always be fitting needed (at least a lot of the time). With Glock, HK, Sig, etc. factory barrels are the way to go, even if you have to use a metric piston....

Storm Lake makes a great threaded 1911 barrel. You can get them from MidwayUSA, they are usually in stock.
I have three of them now.
That said, 1911 parts, especially barrels are rarely drop in parts.

This is what Bendersquint is talking about... http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0157/8968/products/octane-brake_1024x1024.jpg http://www.store.silencerco.com/products/octane-brake They are also now selling a similar brake with all the MAAD interfaces and end caps. http://www.store.silencerco.com/prod...

A friend has one and it's a nice little silencer for what it is. He bought it because whenever he take any training classes, he gets tired of lugging around the full sized silencer on the end of his rifle. He wanted something smaller, lighter and easier to swing around. It removes the harshness of t...

Using Octane 45 HD and 230 grain round nose jacketed. My blowback is real bad using Power Pistol and Win. 231. Baffles are ALL correctly lined up . Does anyone have a powder suggestion? Would Bullseye have less blowback because it burns fast? What is your charge weight on the WW231? I run that all ...

It sounds like it's over gassed. You can try a heavier buffer to see if it helps, however, if it is over gassed, an adjustable gas block or other gas limiting system (WAR receiver, etc) would be needed. After tuning my last two adjustable gas blocks, it makes things run pretty damn smooth. Reduced r...

It's pretty easy. Just remember to fill it out using your trust name and make sure the make and model of the host gun are correct. https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_17/441796_Visual_guide__How_to_fill_out_a_Form_1_using_EFORMS__New_Thread_.html You will need a PDF copy of your trust to upload (A good ...

I just use RTV silicone sealant at the rear of all my charging handles. Much cheaper than the GB and you can use whatever CH you like.

I use W231 for both. Works great, no complaints other than its hard to find solid data on 147gr 9mm. That said, I've been using it since 2007 or so with no issues. Where DID you find 147gr data for 231/hp38? I dont see it listed... Search around. It used to be in loading manuals (books) a long time...

8" 308 subsonic == 300BLK. If you are going that short with subsonic, I'd go 300BLK. It was made to run that short and subsonic and you'll have a much easier time getting it to run well. The case volume is very large on the 308's to run subs. 308 subs run great in a bolt gun, but I haven't seen one ...

Thanks Chrismartin Defiantly some points to think about I think I'll be calling the lawyer who set it up and ask about adding some verbage to the existing trust !! , also if a trustee is on the trust (daughter)who's under age could that be a problem? If he is not familiar with NFA trusts, put him i...

Hi Guys I'm glad I found this site lots of info but what I need to know is I set up a revocable living family trust a year ago and was wondering if that trust is as usable as a NFA gun trust ?? I've got differing answers some say no it's not same and others have said yes you can , if not has anyone...

I don't know about other places, but in Virginia you cannot have a loaded rifle or pistol when on VA waterways. There may be one or two minor exceptions to this, but it is generally true. State laws are really going to be a problem. I'm not seeing any law preventing carrying in VA waterways. There ...

Sad to hear, Hush.
Very sad. Thanks for all the contributions over the years. You were my news aggregation feed for many years now.
Prayers sent.

Why ACME threads? If the silencer becomes loose, it will end up unscrewing further with less effort than if you had a finer pitch. That could lead to a baffle strike. Most thread over muzzle brakes that I have seen use a finer pitch thread pattern (Griffin, Wilson, SAS, etc). All of the ACME threade...

France's revolution lead to Nepoleon and then back to a monarchy, I don't think that's a great idea

Also, don't forget to inspect and clean the threads and end cap on the Liberty. Just as the shoulder and threads could cause an issue, so could the end cap on the liberty.

Just grasping at straws here.

SilencerCo/SWR used to upgrade the Spectre to the Spectre II for a fee (just a baffle stack and end cap swap for them)

I prefer the II's. They have a lower tone that sound more quiet to my ear (and others I have shot them with).

K baffles are harder to remove when dirty than the CTA baffles in the Spectre II.

I have both a K and a CTA stack and the CTA design is better for removal and cleaning.
