    ATF Releases Latest Suppressor Figures

    Here my lowly opinion on this: The prevalence of criminal suppressor use is low because of the *types* of crimes typically committed. Of course that sounds obvious, but let’s think about it. Most crimes with perps using firearms are robberies, gang drug related shootings, domestic crimes of...

    Mk20 Questions

    I figured that was the case. The hope was that they had replaced my bolt with one that had a smaller firing pin aperture. My LMT in 6.5 has no issues. Just kinda boggles my mind why FN didn’t see what JP, LMT, and others had done to resolve this and take a similar path.

    Mk20 Questions

    Got my 6.5 20s back from FN a couple weeks ago. Finally went out to shoot it / record sounds. FN said in their note they replaced my bolt when it was in for service. Used the same factory Hornady 140 eld’s that they test fired it with. Two out of twenty shots had popped primers. They haven’t...

    B & T APC 223??

    Just shot an APC 223 the other day, and with my Nomad-L and the gun set to the “suppressed” setting it was a real joy to shoot. A lot of fun! Cool sounding mechanically too.

    FN SCAR 20S vs. HK MR762A1

    I’m not thehun but I have my single experience in this. My 20S 6.5 is back at FN as I write this for piercing primers, and in the case of the 130gr Bergers, completely blowing them out of the case. I wish I kept some of the 140 ELD cases to take pics of too, but those appeared to have the...

    Safety Warning for Berger 77 grain OTM: Pressure Testing Update

    Yes, Sir. Your post is why I put up those pics. Just wanted to provide an unfortunately context-light but still (as far as I can tell) relevant data point that may point to the pattern you mentioned 🙄 Thanks, Sherlock. I didn't post to one-up the severity of Molon's experience. Just wanted...

    Safety Warning for Berger 77 grain OTM: Pressure Testing Update

    Kinda having a similar situation as Molon. I’m a LOT less experienced than most of you guys, but maybe there is an ammo issue. Brand new FN 20S in 6.5CM. It’s already back at FN for service after I saw this. Noticed this after less than 25 rounds fired. Pretty ugly.

    Scar 20s 6.5 gas jet size for suppressed use

    Thanks for the replies, Gents. On Friday I just bit the bullet and bought all the sizes from 1.20 to 1.40. When I get everything together I’ll figure it out going from small to large. Just didn’t know if someone had the info on hand. PMM did not want to recommend anything without having a 6.5...

    Scar 20s 6.5 gas jet size for suppressed use

    Hi All, Got a 20s inbound and wanted to see if anybody has a suggestion on gas jet sizes for running suppressed. I’ll probably end up with a Nomad or Vox-S on the gun, so not exactly a low back pressure can. PMM said they didn’t have data on the 6.5 barrels yet so they couldn’t give me much to...

    Cutting down a 20” 6.5CM MWS barrel for suppressor

    Excellent info. Thank you for that. I’ll try and contact Dave Wilson and see if he’s got a suggestion. I too had read about KAC experimenting with short 6.5’s but haven’t seen a conclusion of how it worked out. I’ll report back here if Dave relays some advice. Thanks again, Sfx

    Cutting down a 20” 6.5CM MWS barrel for suppressor

    Understandable question. Reason is that years ago I divested myself of .308. My AI's are all in 6.5CM and that's just what I shoot in place of .308. Plus, I'm not a good large frame gas gun shooter. I kinda suck at it. This setup will be for 1k yards and in. One of my AIAT barrels is 18"...

    Cutting down a 20” 6.5CM MWS barrel for suppressor

    Thank you for the reply. I wasn’t thinking going the sbr route with this. Just kinda wanted to see if there had been some experiences where folks had cut down the typically-overgassed LMT barrel to a length that provided good suppressed performance while still maintaining acceptable unsuppressed...

    Cutting down a 20” 6.5CM MWS barrel for suppressor

    Hi Gents, Was hoping for some advice. I have a 20” 6.5 barrel that I’d like to shorten a bit. How short could I go with this barrel and still have decent reliability unsuppressed? It’ll be shot suppressed almost exclusively. I was thinking 18” would be fine, but might even go shorter if it...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    AIAT in 6.5 CM, 18" barrel. 3-20 Ultra Short with AI mount. Nothing too crazy but I like it. Went for compactness and sleekness with this setup.

    Movie Theater Bradley Cooper's vow to American Sniper

    Trailer audio is almost always done by a different audio post production team than the feature itself. That magnification ring error may not be present in the actual film.

    Anyone have a Century C39 AK?? American made

    Buying commercial AK's like the ones from CAI means you kinda have to inspect the gun before you buy it, and know what to look for. Most of the common defects can be spotted before purchasing. Gas port size and alignment, headspacing, and a few other things you can't check so easily but...

    Hey man, it's ok. I didn't think you meant it as a joke. No worries, and sorry for the tone of my reply. Wasn't clear to me that you were kidding. Hope you have a good night.

    Movie Theater Expendibles 3

    Because that would be unbelievably stupid? I don't care about his opinion on any political issue. I have a job to do, and that's what I concern myself with. Asking a client that's paying the bills on a gig why they're "such a hypocritical faggot" about something tends to not go over well...

    Haha, yep. Tried to make the guns big and fun this time, but still with some authenticity. Hope some Hiders enjoyed it. Put a lot of work into it on a tight schedule.
