Mega Rad Gun Thread

I remember being all bitchy that the 3 suppressors I impulse purchased a few months back didn't clear in 15 minutes like some of yours did.

Got notified today all 3 are ready for pickup. For sure 4 months is better than 18 but I'm still a bit salty.

Think I'm set for suppressors. Unless I find out I need a Thunder Beast Magnus.

I still need to get a few more. Going to definitely get a 9mm and a .45 pistol suppressor, a Salvo 12 for my Origin 12, and will likely get a .22 suppressor and some kind of flow-thru 5.56mm can for my AUG, most likely either a Huxwrx or one of the new B&T cans that recently dropped on Silencer Shop. I'm also really, really tempted to get one of the new Marlin 1895 stainless guide guns in .45-70 and getting a large .45 rifle can for it, since the new Marlins are coming with threaded barrels as standard.

Does anyone here have a source for strike anywhere matches? Trying to make caps for my double rifle for muzzle loader season since I can't find a steady source of #10 caps. Either that or a steady source of them would do.

This compound works fine for me along with the aluminum cap maker that’s also on the site. I have a little more info about it in the black powder thread.

I don't see myself ever getting any pistol suppressors. If I did, I'd use them with Berettas as I hear they're good suppressor hosts. And since all the suppressors I picked up and tested today are Huxwrx Flow TI cans, I can tell you they're worth their price. Not cheap, I know, but worth every cent. Try not to go into credit card debt for them. My, uh, friend said to say that.

Speaking of centerfire Marlin lever guns, anyone here run one made by them after their ownership change? I definitely don't need a .45-70 lever rifle, but I do like the big thumpers just because. I'm curious if anyone that knows can tell me if their price is justified. They've only gotten a lot more expensive since Ruger bought them.

I think this is good advice to all of us. You know Clubby, for a fed, you're alright.

I've got an HK Mark 23, and a Mark 23 without a can is blasphemy. That, and I've had significant hearing loss in my life and want to preserve what I have left. Best way to do that is with ear pro and suppressors.

By ownership change, do you mean since Ruger bought them from Remington? Their quality is significantly better since Ruger bought them and brought them back to market. When Remington owned them their QC was very hit and miss.

Suppressing pistols is a waste of time. Just get a PCC.

For regular shit, yeah pretty much, but they're still fun. Maybe for home defense, but you'd be better off using a different gun too.

Once wipes come into the picture things change a lot and it gets more reasonable. For sneaky stuff a suppressed handgun has been quite useful, but they seem to have been small stuff like .22lr or .32ACP, with some stuff in 9 like the Welrod.

Based and not cringe gunshop/parts dealer Brownells is pushing Rumble. Either they completely forgot to link their channel or are just brute-forcing the introduction to their viewers but it's a pretty solid endorsement if they're going there and actually talk about it.

Crosspost from the GunTuber thread, but Brownells is going to be posting content not friendly to YouTube on Rumble.

Wipes are really the thing that would make pistol suppressors awesome and compact but are just hamstrung cause the government decided that a rubber disc can't be sold by itself.

Like the Beretta Hush Puppy,

Personally I put a suppressor on my HD pistol, gunshots last a fraction of a second but tinnitus is forever. I've been thinking of picking up a wipes only suppressor just for HD use now that the form 4's take less than a year.

If the ban happened a few decades ago it could've been this thing:

It has an ultra-scary threaded barrel, exterior modeled after the vz 61, and shares a name with Intratech's infamous Tec-9.

Scariest gun ive ever seen.

The scary look shouldn't be discounted, I was talking to someone recently who was perplexed "why we allow this type of rifle" we were looking at these GSG .22 reproductions of famous firearms.

People who are unfamiliar with guns really don't understand that the superficial fittings of a gun don't make it more dangerous.
