What does a booster do. How?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

What does a booster do. How?

Post by Ky-Moonshiner »

at the the risk of looking dumb... too late

What is the function of a booster, how does it operate, i understand pisotls with "browning" type actiosn or barrels that move with recoil need them usually... to operate correctly. and pistols with fixed barrels do not.

so i saw the pics of the one that DeGrout manufactures, sorry if i screwd the name up as well its been a while since i read it.

a link wil suffice or a simple explanation, thanks
