Re: Round stuck inside 308 can, what now?!

Ok, it would appear that the primer is not of the magnetic variety, unfortunate. The commercial primers here are generally of the steel variety and can be picked up with a large magnet on a stick, saves bending over when collecting the brass back for reloading. The suggestion was a telescopic pick u...

Re: Round stuck inside 308 can, what now?!

Here's a few more ideas that aren't any more far fetched than some of those already suggested: Nanobots - Program them to carry it out. Magnets - None of the metals involved are attracted to a magnet, but what the heck. Melt it out - The stainless steel in the silencer has a higher melting point th...

Re: New .22 monocore Design - Any Input GREATLY Appreciated!

I have no doubt that you have seen Baffled and McGeevers suppressors which are effectively the same/similar design as your reworked can. I have a very rough and ready version of the same design. I do not have a checkmate style can, nor know of one in that style in the UK so cannnot comment on how ef...

It doesn't do it for me but I can see a situation when room clearing that the occupant is not armed but being "difficult" and shooting them is perhaps an over reaction, having said device bounced off their skull may go some way to making them compliant. Saying that I am thinking the zones ...

That is awesome Major.

I'm looking forward to your testing, with the access you have to demo cans this can only be good for the suppressor buyer.

Probably good for the business too.

I think ROF and JLWilliams makes the points above well.
