Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

So I've got a Sandman S already and when I put it on my 12.5, it starts feeling more and more like my 14.5.

My thought is to either buy a 556 specific can (Dead Air is supposed to have one at some point) or get a K can.

Has anyone done a direct thread K can on an 11.5 or 12.5 and regretted it? I shoot with earpro 99% of the time but I don't like a fireball at night. Thoughts?

Bending bullets?

In a recent gun store conversation a customer was talking about a shooting video that he had just seen- and in the video they said that if you seat long bullets deeper into the case that when the powder ignites it can bend them. Never heard this before- always tried to avoid this because it takes up powder space- but never worried about bending the bullet??

The video was marketing a new round so is this the usual BS marketing to justify something- or a real issue?

DHL FTW

DHL For The Win.

Yesterday afternoon I ordered some fuel injectors from RockAuto after the ones Amazon assured me fit my vehicle, didnt. RockAuto listed several shipping options: FedEx overnight, Express, Ground. As well as UPS and USPS and DHL. FedEx has been horrible. My son ordered a pair of NVG's and they shipped FedEx. Tracking number showed them arriving at the facility close to his house and then just sat there. For 3 days. He went there with the tracking number asking about them and no one could tell him where his package was at. He filed a claim with them but heard nothing. Then magically they show up back at the sender. Just one more horror story about FedEx of which there are legion. UPS has been generally reliable but they take 4 days on average. USPS... ridiculously bad; The Detroit sorting facility is just a black hole where things go to disappear. So I chose DHL. And F - me if the package isnt on the truck for delivery to me already today! This is from Richmond VA up to Central MI. If I get them and they arent in good shape I'll update this but so far DHL looks like they know what they are doing.

Update: The parts arrived at 12 noon. Box was in perfect shape. 19hrs from ordering to my door. Nice job DHL!

How many calibers is to many?

Landed a striped AR lower and started thinking about the next money sink (I mean project) and I think I’ve matured or am sick with the Rona.

I’m not sure I want to dive into another caliber to reload for….startup cost & rat race of grinding for components has hit me.

So far I’m at 8…none of them that well, TBH.
223/ 223ai/ 6.5Creed/ 6.5x47/ 308/ 280ai/ 300win/ 9mm….. now that I Talley it up, it doesn’t seem that bad. Maybe a lil 6Arc or 6.5 Grendel wouldn’t be so bad!


What is your count?

Precision Rifle Builders

Hope everybody is doing well. Guess I am the newest member of the forum because I just registered my self 3 minutes ago.
I being a hunter for 30+ year but never interested on precision rifles until I got mu hands on a GA Precision this past December. After cleaning my safe I came across several rifle parts such as:
  • McMillan A3 stock
  • Brand New Rem 700 / 6.5 Creed action
  • Badger Ordnance M5 DBM
  • Jewell Trigger
  • Two (2) 6.5 creed Bartlein Barrels / M24 contour and Med Palma Contour
Now the the two answers I need help with and one the reasons I join the forum are as follow:

1.- Which barrel contour should I use for the build?
2.- Rifle builder you all may recommend?

The idea is to to use the riffle for hunting from a deer blind and shoot steel plates every now and then.

Thanks everybody in advance for your helpful input.

$1k for best 22lr rifle help

900-1k budget for 22lr.

I do not want to spend more than $900- 1k total to have the rifle in my hands ready to shoot. I have rings and scope already.

Leaning towards b-14r right now. Only 2 must haves are threaded barrel and LOP needs to be at least 14.25 but prefer a little more. Don't care if it's heavy and don't mind used. I don't mind piecing together

Thanks

Just when you thought Cali couldn't get more F'd Up!

https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/california-proposal-double-taxes

Check out the tax rates Democrats want to impose. Illegals will get free health insurance and you get to pay for it. I guarantee you this shit will pass and Gavin will only be too happy to sign it.

When do the sane people still in Cali say enough is enough, the war is lost? Nothing is going to turn that shit hole around, nothing. Democrats have made it a one party state. This is what Democrats nationally want for the whole country, make no mistake about it.
