Re: Ringing Sound from a suppressor (tuning fork)

At first I thought your tag might stand for Red Super Coupe (as in the supercharged thunderbird) of which I've owned two.
Anyhow, just thought I'd throw this out there,
I've read and LOVE Unintended Consequences by John Ross and I've just downloaded Atlas Shrugged to listen to because of your rec.
Thanks for the info guys.
I don't plan on leaving my 762-SD on the sidelines much once I purchase it, so I'm not really worried about how well the
BO FH hides flash.
The ring is sound, and firing suppressed is about minimizing sound, so I am planning on gettign the muzzle breaks instead of the BO. ALSO, I spoke to the owner of Major Malfunction and he said that some people have found that the muzzle break is a big quieter with the suppressor (either lach of ringing or faster release of gasses into the suppressor system? I didn't ask) and also that the suppressor will generally last longer because the Muzzle break acts as a blast baffle and takes the initial beating. THAT is a deal maker. I can replace the muzzle break without class 3 hassles and the suppressor will be used on 3 rifles/calibers so I like the idea of an extra blast baffle that I can easily replace myself, and will have spares of (one on each of the three guns.)
I have to say that I almost got chills when I read the excaliber comment
If it sounded like that to me, I might trash all of the above "reasoning" and get the flashhider!

Nope, the name is from my location and my hair color and the nickname that always seems to go along with it. My taste in old vehicles tends towards the opposite end of the spectrum, heavy and slow. I drive a red IH Scout. Contrary to popular belief, IH stands for "It's Heavy".
Atlas Shrugged is a very good read, but it's long and takes a while to get going. A lot of people start it, but quit after getting bogged down in the first couple of chapters. Don't worry, it picks up once the storyline is set. Remember, this was written way back before the microwave generation, when people weren't too impatient to actually sit down and read a novel that didn't have violence and bloodshed on every page. I don't agree with everything Rand says, but she's definitely on the money in most areas.
You're probably right about not really needing great flash suppression. I mounted my flash hider while was waiting on the transfer, and was amazed by the amount of flash reduction. Once the paperwork came back, the only time it gets shot without the can is to show people the difference between suppressed and unsuppressed.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it.
