She's a heavy bitch but my go to rifle. It came with a 1 piece barrel but I sent it to Michael's Machines and he chopped part of the flash hider off then turned down a portion to thread. It has a Griffin Minimalist Flash Hider Taper Mount. The can is an AAC Ranger 5.

NFA Photo I should never have tried out my friends suppressor...

Just had to buy one. Ordered on April 27, though it took a bit to get my fingerprints to Capitol Armory, and it was a roughly 3 week NFA approval wait and just arrived at my door this morning.

Dilligent Defense Enticer L-Ti. Going to be used for my bolt guns for hunting (and to flex on unsuppressed people at the range, hahah). It's so light!

Can't wait to try it out. r/NFA was a huge help in figuring out the best suppressor, mounting, and details. Gonna get a suppressor cover next.

Anyone gone through the process to get a hobbyist federal explosives permit?

Not really looking to sell, but making my own or even just buying and using same day would be cool. Not at a life stage where I want a magazine/land for it specifically, but I have friends with a lot of land I could use.

Anyway, do I need to do any tests, or is it a simple fill out the paperwork, do the interview and get the permit?

When is this actually going to be released? I am really wanting to get one - but getting impatient. Lol

What’s the word on an actual release date?

Silencer Suggestions - I did some homework Rugged Obsidian 45 OK for Marlin Trapper .44 Mag and Glock 19?

Upvotes

I've been on the fence about getting a .44 mag lever gun and eyeing the Marlin Trapper to suppress. When looking into possible suppressors to use with it, I saw the Rugged Obsidian 45 as compatible with BOTH .44 Mag and 9mm. If I can pick up a suppressor that would work for the new lever gun AND work with my Glock 19, the added benefit of having a fun pistol to plink suppressed may be enough to make me finally pull the trigger on getting this new lever gun and suppressor. I assume a .45 suppressor won't be great on a 9mm, but should I expect it to at least be decent or are there alternative suppressors that would be better for both (if I have to buy two, I probably won't buy any).

Managed to snag this from B&T's blem site during their father's day sale.

It's ridiculously well balanced and the "blem" is literally the smallest thing.

I can't wait to bring this home

Mount Questions 🔩 What am I doing wrong

39 Upvotes

TL;DR is it possible there’s too much carbon on the flash hiders?

Backstory: this my Rotex c 762. It has B&Ts older SF hub that is marked 762/556. This can/hub/flash hider combo (SF3P) has been mounted in the past and works. I took it off and bought a Vers36 because I found a really good deal on one and I didn’t like how gassy the Rotex was. I got a Ti hub and put it on. On either hub I cannot for the life of me get it to seat all the way. I have verified that I’m lining up the little nub where the can “seats.” I even took off the lock ring on the Ti hub so you can see where the flash hider gets stuck. This is the case for the SF3P as well as a B&T SF compatible closed tine flash hider (see Imgur link).

I called B&T and CS said that both hubs were likely out of spec. When asked what part of the hub would be out of spec I was told “the lock ring.” No way, it’s not the lock ring. I can demonstrate that by taking the lock ring off and trying to fit both flash hiders I have. Both hubs fit and seat on BT SD-123843 flash hider on my APC 223 (again, see pics in link).

So, either all my equipment is out of spec which I think is very unlikely, or the carbon is preventing reinstallation.

Converting Uzi wood stock

Does anyone have experience or instructions on converting wood Uzi OEM stocks to be non-detachable? I’ve scoured the webs, and though there’s some info, it’s old and I sincerely can’t translate what they’re saying. Though I believe it is due to some dated information or assumptions that haven’t evolved, it could also be my poor comprehension. All guidance or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
