What lot numbers should I look for on the new batch? If I can get some I'll retest, though I doubt there will be much change.

Re: New CCI Quiet-22 LR - 710 fps

According to my testing, from a 16" barrel, the CCI Quiet metered 125 DB at the shooters ear. With a 26" barrel (didn't test from 24") that number was down to 114 DB Dry firing the gun was 111 DB. Dry firing on an fired shell was 109 DB. All are 8 shot averages. I didn't keep the note...

Re: patents/US6575266: Snorkel Chamber Suppressor Design 2003

I've got a sionics can with screw baffles. I wouldn't call it a step forward at this point. I suspect with the snorkel design, an adjustable snorkel depth could prove interesting, and provide some level of tuneability for different pressures presented at the muzzle. I could especially see the design...

Welcome to the forum. This place is a little different than a lot of gun forums, and a thicker skin is required to survive. The Axiom is a nice can.

Re: HuffPO on the Hearing Protection Act

This is my favorite part:

"The NRA and gun industry view accessories like silencers as potential profit areas, with guns themselves so well-saturated throughout their existing customer base."

Because that's indicated by the reduction in gun sales, right?

Now, on the receiver, is it ok to have "multi" on it? So manny makers do that and I would think that the "multi" would cover the various configurations including different calibers? As long as the barrel is marked with the caliber in a 'conspicuous' manner, then there's no need ...

Re: SBR-ing an AR: Any Difference Between "Pistol" and "Rifle" Lower?

If it's configured as a pistol (by ATF designations) then it's a pistol, just as when it has a 16 upper, it's a rifle. An AR pistol with a 16" upper is still a pistol. Actually, it may simply be a firearm depending on overall length. All rifles and pistols are firearms, not all firearms are ri...

YHM was making a "Maxim woodsman" at one point a few years ago. I don't think they're still in production. they made a 45 version as well, but the reviews weren't very good on either.
