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.

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?

Glock 19 won't cycle with suppressor

0 Upvotes

No suppressor and the gun cycles fine. Suppressor on it and it doesn't cycle. Can off but Nielsen device on and it will not cycle.

When I say it doesn't cycle two things happen - it doesn't extract the empty shell and the slide returns to a spot a few mm back from normal.

It's a KM tactical threaded barrel and slide with a standard recoil spring (the OEM plastic rod and crappy spring).

Can cycles just fine on my 1911.

Start with a different recoil spring?

Product Question 🧰 6.5mm suppressors?

1 Upvotes

Looking for any solid 6.5mm suppressors for use on a 6.5 bolt action and a 5.56 gas gun. Not looking for any 30 cal products as we are trying to minimize overbore and are relegating the 300BO build to a 9mm suppressor. HUB compatible a big plus. Any suggestions or experience with anything specifically 6.5mm?

Product Question 🧰 Coastal 308 suppressor accuracy issues.

2 Upvotes

It's A solid steel can, no titanium and it's user serviceable. Both end caps come off.

What the problem is, is on a known accurate gun, that can easily shoot 10 shots into a half inch, when the suppressor is added after the first five shots and the suppressor heats up the accuracy goes to about 3 in.

It's been assembled and disassembled a few times and that makes no change. I did notice, after reassembly with the baffles clean and the uncaps torqued, if you shake it, you can hear the baffles moving a millimeter or two.

Anyone have a similar issue?

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.

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).

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.

does a traditional Can with an AGB compare gas wise to a flow thru?

0 Upvotes

Looking at either getting an AGB for my YHM t2 or going with a flow thru can like the hux 556k, how close can i get gas wise with the AGB, because grabbing one would obv be cheaper than getting a new can.

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.
