Picked up a shiv to suppress my vp9 and occasionally sub2000. Can’t find a ton of information from SAW on maintenance. How should I clean it and how often? Anything else to know about this chode?

We really need a sticky about cleaning and wraps

People are cooking their cans, and God knows what they're doing with that lead solution after cleaning their welded cans for absolutely no good reason whatsoever but we all know it's not getting "disposed of properly."

3 day approval on my OCL polonium K, looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Direct threaded for now but keeping an eye out for a plan b mount setup since I also have a 10.5” upper I want to be able to use this on

Should I SBR this… thing?

Post image
51 Upvotes

10/22 build I did years ago. Brownells charger receiver, BX trigger, form 1 can, FAB defense stock which fits Mossberg 500 grips so I put a birds head on it and have this funky mares leg 22. I can put a Mossberg shoulder stock on it for cheap. Now that I have another 22 pistol suppressor host I got in a trade I’m wondering if I should SBR or just keep it funky.

Mount Questions 🔩 3D printing threads? (OnShape)

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

A question for those who have experience 3D printing cans: What is the best method for applying or designing threads for my design?

I know that 3D printing threads isn't the easiest (especially fine threads like 1/2x28 and printing with a .6 nozzle) I have thought about just buying brass thread inserts. Is this the way? I haven't tried any method yet.

Edit: I am planning on making out of pa6 cf

For mods: I am not offering nor will give out printing files. I am just here for guidance. I am following all national and state laws.

Rugged (yea I know) sub 9 with their RU3 mount and angstadt arms Trilug muzzle device on my stribog Sp9a3s. Didn’t have any issues with: Federal HST 147g, Speer lawman 147g and monarch 115g. The S&B had crazy poi shift at only 10 yards and then I noticed some wear. Anybody else have a similar experience?

"Walther PPK. 7.65 mil with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a Brausch silencer, with little reduction in muzzle velocity. "

Had a chance to film a proper shoot (pun intended) with the Walther PPK SD. I have it equipped with the low profile thread protector from @oldglorygunsandammo so I can keep the more traditional muzzle silhouette when not in seaky mode!

Very amusing gun, and definitely scratches the Bond itch!

Hey I’m back after cleaning the muzzle loaders

Turns out, I ordered the right part, as intended contrary to the haters.

As it also turns out, I put a .280/290 bore DPB on a 30 caliber, thinking years ago when I ordered it I ordered it for a .30, as predicted by the haters.

Thank you to the less rude people for reminding me there is a 6.5 version of the 5/8-24.

Oddly enough, it worked with Core-lokt 30-30’s

Product Question 🧰 Dumb Questions.

4 Upvotes

Okay so I have my pistol can (Mojave 9).

  1. Do you guys shoot with heat resistant gloves so you can torque down the can after a few mags?

  2. Do I just clean it as I would any other gun(Breakfree CLP)? Or are there some better products to use?

  3. How the hell do I transport it after firing? That thing has to be hotter than hell and would melt any carrying case that I have.

Thank you for any responses. Please be patient, I probably am on the spectrum

Host Suggestions 👻 Best way to make a Sig P226 a Suppressor Host?

2 Upvotes

I want it to be optics cut but I dont think sig makes an optics cut 226 with a threaded barrel right now. Actually, I'm not sure if they currently catalog any 226 with a threaded barrel. I know they make threaded barrels for it though. As does SilencerCo. Is a p226 Elite and a sig threaded barrel good to go? The Elite is the model I am leaning towards unless somebody suggests something else.

Basically how do I get that classic p226 that everybody says is the S+ tier suppressor host?

TIA
