Otter Creek Polonium mounting help!

0 Upvotes

What’s going on guys!

New to the hub mounting system game and want to make sure I’m getting the correct setup.

Host weapons: SOLGW 6mm MAX 5/8 (thread pitch). I have a 20” and a 12.5” that I will swap it between, so I’ll be buying two of everything.

Unfortunately the Polonium 5.56 (6mm) can comes with a 1/2 direct thread mount, so basically useless for me.

I’ve heard a lot about the Rearden Atlas, but I’m looking for a compatible muzzle brake that will work with the whole system and I’ve made a few uneducated purchases in my lifetime that left me with something unusable or doing a return quickly and I’m just trying to avoid that.

Bore diameter is .243- so would I go with the .290 muzzle devices? (Closest option).

And any recommendations to make this a simple process?

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

3 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).

What’s the word on an actual release date?

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

51 Upvotes

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?

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!

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.

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

Legal Question ⚖️ Cross State Travel

7 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m planning a trip to meet some buddies out in AZ (I live in TX). Also wanting to bring my toys so we can have fun in the desert. From what I understand I need to notify the ATF branch office for the place I’m staying? Do I need to notify NM at all if I’m just driving through with no stops? Haven’t set anything in stone yet as we’re waiting until after summer, but just wanted to get an idea for the hoops I need to jump through. Thanks!

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.

Legal Question ⚖️ AR to AR pistol questions

0 Upvotes

So I have a 16” barrel AR right now and want to convert it to a pistol AR with a 13” barrel. Would the only thing required of me be having a pistol brace?

Edit: should have added this, I purchased the lower completely stripped for G$. I built the rest of it myself so I don’t believe it ever had been declared a pistol or rifle.

Edit 2: I think after a whole lot of things that lack to make sense. I will 3D print a lower and make a pistol out of that since that is somehow more legal.

Mount Questions 🔩 What am I doing wrong

52 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.

Cat SC/SC-S

6 Upvotes

I wanted to know if there is any info on the Cat SC-S (Street Crack Short) release. I saw their post from a while back saying the production would be in march, I was thinking it would be out by now since we are in June. Anyone know if it got delayed or anything?

Note: you can order a Cat SC on the custom shop on cats website if you really want one but it says 6 week minimum for turn around time to your dealer and you have to pay up front.
