If I were in law enforcement, which I'm not, I would try to set up an 'internet crime watch'. With all the people who clearly incriminate themselves on UTube and other sights (posting homemade felonies, filming fights and asaults and on and on) not to mention all the stolen goods being posted on cra...

Pumps and leaver actions are good guns. They have quick followup shots and you can keep your eye on the sight picture, particularly with a pump. I imagine you could manage an integral can that went with a tube magazine. May be more practical with some makes than others, but I'm sure it could be done...

I have a basket case Mosin Nagant rifle that I have been thinking about converting to 7.62x25. Have any of you played with subsonic loads for the 30 Tokarov? It seems like it should be a natural and there is some mention of 7.62x25 based silencer rounds in "Cartridges of the World," but I ...

I had a Henry AR7 that I bought with the idea of making an integral suppressor. The gun didn't work well at all. I sold the gun and have been looking for a Marlin Papoose to see if they work any better. I don't know anyone who actually owns one so I haven't got a first hand report on their reliabili...

What about something along the lines of a double action revolver. I know that there is way more mass being moved than there would be on a handgun, but the possability is there.

If you want a subsomic round in 22 caliber, why not go with a good old 22lr? If you want to run some full power 223 through it, that makes sense, but for subsomics 22 is the best in town.

Real Maxim cans are few and far between. So few people were willing to pay $200 to register a $15 item, most of them have just dissapeared. I keep my eyes open though. You never know when or where you may find a treasure trove of amnesty registered goodies in some closet or basement. People really d...

Good picks. The Glock 23 is an excellent carry gun. BTW, there is a guy on gunbroker with some factory reconditioned Glocks. He had a couple of G19 until I bought one, now he has one 19 and some 17s and I think a 22. I went $400 for the 19 on a 'buy it now'. Just thought I'd mention it since there s...

Laughed so hard I nearly leaked a drop............

could you use the pump action with a pistol caliber upper? There isn't much out there for locking breack pistol caliber shoulder arms, probably because there isn't much use for them other than suppressor hosts.

Another nice thing about the Glock is that you can get a 22lr conversion kit for it. That way you have your suppressed plinking enjoyment with the same trigger pull/grip feel of your carry pistol. The kit is another purchase, but it's a damn nice set up.

Congradulations on getting the permit. By all means, don't carry a .22. Get at least a .380. I carry a Kel Tec p-11 in 9mm. About the same size as most .380s, weighs verry little and costs about $225. They now have a single stack 9mm that holds I think 7 shots and is verry slim and easy to carry. Th...

st33vo, if you already have an SKS, why not stick with the 7.62. It is nice to have multiple guns in one cartrige IMO. Just more economical and efficient when it comes to buying bulk ammo. This is what's kept me from buying a 5.45, having other guns in 7.62. Just don't want to start buying another r...

Maybe start the project by experimenting with the loads and see how the gun likes them. If you don't load shotshells you can pick up a simple press cheap enough. May save you a ton of agrivation and money down the line. Once you know how well the 11-87 handles different loadings you may have a bette...

If you want to go with a pump action like in No Country For Old Men, you will definitely need to load your own for subsonics. If you are willing to start with a single shot or maybe a bolt action, you may be able to port the barrel enough to lower the velocity. If you go with the pump action working...

I doubt they were busting people for buying the $2 smokes. That was the bait that drew people in and created the image that these guys were receptive to 'bending the rules'. When someone came in and bought a pack of smokes, then said "maybe you'd like to buy this ...' that they got something ac...

Would a shark with a freakin' 10-22 on his head be NFA?

I'll second the Reising given the choise between the two guns in question. Reisings were US military guns. As a collectable that matters. As a shooter they have way better parts, mags, and ammo availability and cost. They do have their issues but people have been shooting them for generations and th...

I know it's not a WWII gun, but if you want a good shooter for short money don't overlook the SKS. I have always thought of them as an under respected rifle. Skip the bubba tacticool dress up crap. keep the original ten round fixed magazine. Cave man simple and reliable. No where near the gun that t...

Could this really be the way our nation is ruled? The use of violence as an instrument of power is nothing new, but this? This rings of the Dealy plaza death list. There is a case that makes stastisticians wear their pencils dull. LBJ had a convicted murderer (Mac Wallace) working for him for years....

Thanks for all your input so far. I am leaning toward a bolt action platform, and the cyclone sounds like a crowd favorite. Also sounds like a concensus that subsonics don't do much that pistol bullets won't. How about barrel length? Should I get the rifle cut right down to 16" to minimize over...

I'm itching for a rifle silencer and I have some questions. First, if I want to shoot subsonic .308, will a 'standard' twist rifle barrel stabilize them, or will I need to start with a special barrel? If so, will I be able to shoot full power loads or would I have something that only handles one loa...

I have a similar gun, the Stemple 76-45. A cruder version of the design in 45acp, full auto only. I have a Burgess suppressor for it. Like the others described, it's an integral. Very quiet for what it is. I know he had 9mm suppressors for them on his page last I knew, but now I can't find his page ...

Good point about the right taking the label of Police Statists, and the left bringing it a step further. Likewise, we just got through with a "Republican" administration that spent more than any administration in our history. Now, I understand that war costs money and I don't criticise a p...

Microguy, this is indeed troubling beyond my ability to articulate. Unfortunately, the direct answer to the question that is the topic "is this the beginning..." is no. This is not the beginning. This is just where we have come thus far. The beginning is a hard thing to pin down with any c...
