Re: My threaded Beretta 70S

I've preordered the new iPhone 4S and I'm itching to try out the new 1080p video recording. I was in the first run of pre-orders, so mine should be here in two days. Once I get it in, I'll record a video with it. Sorry it's taken this long!

Thanks for the info. Strange "size". Did you locate any using that number?
Not yet. I was gonna try to see if Lowes had any, but haven't gotten around to it. I thought it sounded odd, too, and couldn't find it at McMaster-Carr.

Thanks eseaton, I'm not Brooks, but I've asked him the question about the O-ring before. This was his email reply to me: Wanted to...

Re: Beretta21a+silencer review(video)

Fireman, nice video, man! I like the lasting quality that the grease has (over, say, water or wire-pulling gel), but don't like the extra mess/smoke that seems to be associated with it. Granted, I haven't tried any myself, yet, with my Bobcat/Wasp pair. Also, I've been asked to do a video of one of ...

Re: Which thread pitch?

I'm in the same boat trying to use a 1/2X28 can on my 13.5x1mm 226 bbl. Anyone find a source for an adapter? General consensus I've found from the few firearm machinists I've talked to is that an adapter for 1/2"x28 from 13.5x1 won't work well because their screwing in opposite directions and ...

With respect to the internal threading of your barrel, did they make you a thread protector to keep lead/crud from building up on the threads (for unsuppressed shooting) o...

With the Wasp, yes. With the Spectre, no, but JUST barely no. Sighting through is easy. Once I get the stamp back on my Nano, I'll have another to compare.

Best way to clean a Thompson Machine "Wasp"?

Ok, to all the Wasp owners out there (or Brooks, if you're reading), what have you found to be the best way to clean up the insides after a shooting session (or a few days after a shooting session... :oops: )? I know with everything being aluminum, that means that the dip isn't an option. What have ...

Not owning a Glock, but being curious about suppressing them, I'd like to know if one is more preferable over the other? What 9mm Glock do I want if I want to s...

Nope. I don't buy into the habit of downloading magazines when the manufacturer designed them to be loaded completely. I'll try it, but I don't see that as a fix.

Bobcat owners: feed jams?

Ok, so I'm unfortunately having with some alarming regularity feed jams with my Bobcat. By this, I mean that the round is catching on the TOP of the breech while being stripped from the magazine. This usually occurs within the first one to two shots out of a new magazine. The ammo being used is CCI ...

Re: .380 vs .32

The Sig P238 is a .380 that operates on a locked-breach short recoil action instead of straight blow-back. James DeGroat of DeGroat Tactical Armaments prefers this little .380 for suppression work when paired with his "Nano" suppressor. Might check them out.

Ha. I guess I wrote too soon! I just got off the phone with Tornado Tech. They said they don't plan on offering threading options for the Beretta 70S. Looks like I definitely need another option, then. Internal threads it is, then.
