    12.5” AR-10 .308 SBR Thoughts?

    Almost done with mine, just need the 12.5" .308 barrel and BCG. The form 1 was approved ~6 months ago, but it got put on the backburner for a bit to fund a couple new pistols.

    Suppressors Help Buying First Can

    I second Silencer Shop. I got my trust elsewhere and got my first can at a different shop and worked out just fine, but I've got 3 more cans and 2 form 1's since then, all through Silencer Shop, and it really is amazing just how easy they have made the process.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Building a SBS...

    I have a few stamps so I'm not new to the process. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing. The shockwaves are selling for <$300 and I want to get some decent wood furniture anyway so that's definitely the cheaper route.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Building a SBS...

    I've been throwing around the idea of building a 12ga shorty for a while. This is probably a dumbass question, but is there any advantage to buying a standard shotgun and swapping the barrel vs buying a shockwave and swapping the stock? Does one way vs the other change anything with the form 1...

    Suppressors What SHOULD my expectations be?

    Considering the amount of effort it took to get you to name the suppressor model I kinda had a feeling is was going to be a cheap POS. I was right. There's really no reason to get so defensive. People were trying to help answer your questions, but it was like pulling teeth getting you to...

    Suppressors Wipes for pistol cans!

    Yeah, unfortunately I posted this before finishing the video. Still cool, but not quite as excited for myself now. ?

    Suppressors Wipes for pistol cans!

    Works on the Griffin cans as well as SilencerCo Octane and Rugged Obsidian. Gonna have to pick one of these up for my Obsidian 9!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Where to get M&P worked on in East Texas?

    I'm looking to have an Apex duty/carry kit installed in my .45 Shield and the Apex flat faced forward set trigger installed in my M&P9 m2.0 along with night sights on both pistols. I'd prefer not to ship them out so I'm looking for someone in East Texas to do the work. Any recommendations...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recomendations for S&W Shield

    I only pocket carry and OWB carry, but I've been very happy with my Vedder Lightdraw holster. Their Lighttuck IWB gets very good reviews also.

    Suppressors What SHOULD my expectations be?

    I'm assuming you were using the same 22lr ammo in both the pistol and rifle. If so, you're ammo is going supersonic in the rifle while staying subsonic in the pistol due to the shorter barrel. Get yourself some decent subsonic ammo and try again. What model cans did you purchase?

    Just how bad are the current R700s

    For a factory rifle shooting factory ammo I'm happy with my 5R Gen2. As soon as Triggertech releases them, I'll be adding a 2 stage trigger and eventually when the barrel is shot out I'll send it to LRI to flute the bolt, true the action and spin up a barrel. I don't have any experience with...

    CCI "quiet" suppressed?

    I'm not comparing suppressed to unsuppressed. I'm wanting to know if there's any difference between the two suppressed. With both being subsonic I'm assuming any difference through a can will be slight or non existent. I don't have testing equipment, but I have a couple shooting buddies...

    CCI "quiet" suppressed?

    CCI standard velocity is subsonic also. Heading to Academy in a bit and figured I might pick up a box of the CCI quiet to try out. I'll be using it in a bolt gun so cycling isn't an issue. I want to compare the two side by side to see if the ~300fps reduction actually equates to a noticeable...

    CCI "quiet" suppressed?

    I know the CCI quiet is supposed to work well with unsuppressed guns, but is there really any discernable difference between the quiet and standard with a can on?

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 fixed barrel spacer for 22lr?

    I have dedicated rimfire cans so I don't plan on using it for more than a couple rounds. I just want to see how it compares. Does the spring allow for enough movement with a 22lr for baffle strikes to be of any concern?

    Suppressors Obsidian 9 fixed barrel spacer for 22lr?

    Heading to the range tomorrow and I wanted to try my Obsidian 9 on my CZ455 rifle and SW22 pistol just to see how it compares to my Q El Camino for sound reduction. Is it safe to use as is on 22lr or do I need to order a fixed barrel spacer?

    Beginner Getting Started - 2 Rifles?

    With that budget, I'd definitely stick with a single rifle and high quality optic. A good quality rifle, stock/chassis, bipod and optic will run past the $2500 mark in a hurry.

    Beginner Getting Started - 2 Rifles?

    Is the budget you stated for just the rifles or including optics?

    Suppressors Suppressor purchase

    Any of the major companies are going to make you happy. I have a Q El Camino and it's not the quietest can on the market, but it works well, it's easy to clean and it's super light which is nice on the end of a pistol. If I got a second one for dedicated rifle use it'd be a dead air mask or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns LE pistol quals

    If you think that's bad you should see how little it takes to qualify with a firearm as a correctional officer. Our standards are ridiculously low and yet every year I watch 10%-20% of the group have to do a re-fire. It's scary.
