Re: Thermal Defense Solutions suppressors

The new "Nocturnal", an uncatalogued 300 Blackout suppressor, is working out quite well for me. In use with US Marshals plus a certain element in SOCOM. I like the extremely light weight (13.3 ounces), almost 7 ounces lighter than my SF SOCOM 300 SPS, with much less blowback. It's a bit lo...

Thermal Defense Solutions suppressors

A good place to start to learn about TDS: https://www.recoilweb.com/issue-43-150627.html 3D printing with SLM (selective laser melting) of 25 micron particles of Iconel 718 and design theory generated (at taxpayer expense) by Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Re: socom can and 300blk....anyone shot it?

With the overlapping forend, there's really no choice but to remove the forend tube, first. This is admittedly tedious, but the price one pays for the cool overlapping forend look. I do not advocate the overlapping forend, after having used them a good bit, despite their good looks. The bigger issue...

Re: socom can and 300blk....anyone shot it?

Very nice! Have you fired supersonic ammo through it? How does that compare to your MK1 Ear with 5.56 and a full-size Surefire 5.56 can? Also, what length is that barrel? How "nose-heavy" is that setup compared to a 16.1" carbine without a can? Do they feel similar if held at the sam...

Re: Which will be the most effective muzzle device?

A very casual comparison of 5 RD at a time, three cycles each, outdoors, at high noon. No opportunity to observe flash. Note that all three have a 14.5" barrel. The results may well vary with barrel length. The MAMS had an almost complete lack of muzzle movement but with more felt recoil than t...

We just got in our first shipment of the 5.56 MAMS. I'm looking forward to trying it out, myself.

Re: Recent URX photos

Wes... What kind of QD cups are you using on those builds? The ones behind / or in place of the castle nut on the buffer tubes.... It depends! Some of the lowers have the KAC add-on unit. The tan ones are the bolt-on units from Troy. The Vltor lowers come complete with a receiver end plate that has...

I don't suppose you guys have any URXIII's lying around!! I'd like to swap out my 3.1 for a 3 on my LPR!! Getting a KAC-installed URX off an upper receiver is not a simple task! I don't think the company uses blue Locktite as called for in the installation directions. I believe they use something m...

Re: Surefire Mini Pix

As the shooter, especially with a gas gun and all of the monkey motion going on inside it, being objective about sound suppression is pretty difficult. "Quiet enough" would be my answer. If you're after a comparison, I think the Mini on a 17" barrel is quieter than my FA556-212 with a...
