sound suppressor
Speaking of cans, I hear that pin and weld setups have been a popular choice to keep it a one-stamp gun. I'm tempted to make a stocked pistol but are there any brands that make suppressors with front-end disassembly(for maintenance and repair) or would I be stuck manufacturing my own can?
I don't want to hold my breath on the removal of suppressors from the NFA any time soon, either.
 
I will concede with the stipulation that the original 90s Anaconda was more of a proof of concept.
the design was sound, but unfortunately colt was going through some serious money shortfalls in those years and employee retention and benefits were poor and the quality of the guns really suffered. basically everything outside of the custom shot or military lines was trash.

The only orig. anaconda i handled was B A D. gritty action, shitty brushed finish. misfit grips. I would not buy a original anaconda unless it was sub 500 dollars, and then only as a opportunity to flip it to a clueless boomer. 2nd gen all the way. the anaconda is capable of the strongest .44 mag and can handle the ruger only .45 colt +P+ loads as well.

I think what most people are doing is taking a 14.5" barrel and pinning/welding a flash suppressor or muzzle brake/comp that will take it to 16" and also act as a quick mount for a can. I don't think anyone is pinning/welding the can itself to the barrel as far as I know. You can get integrally suppressed AR uppers that are over 16", which would be a one stamp rifle.

Do not pin and weld a suppressor. Pin and weld a QD muzzle device. I highly recommend this guy. He's great. Also avoid keymo mounts. Pick what suppressor you want and then find a mount for it. They're not all interchangable yet.

You're not my dad, I'm gonna draw up my ghetto-DeLisle and never get to it
Opticsplanet are a bunch of niggers
If there isn't more than one of something in stock, I wait or find something better. The only time I got had by OP is when I did not check availability on something that was ~50% off and that was entirely on me.

They suck for so many people but man they've always been Amazon fast for me and I make fake emails to get the email discount code Everytime lol. The CS I needed from them was great. Even double applied coupons for me. That said they do let you buy a lot of stuff they don't actually have in stock. I guess I'm lucky

Bereli is like that for me. So many people have had bad experiences with them, but every time I order ammo from them it arrives in less than 3 days and in perfect condition.

Unrelated, picked up that trade in Glock 17 gen 5 you told me about in this thread. It was in a much better condition than advertised (basically brand new), but it was one of the few with the shitty factory sights. Thinking of installing glock’s in house performance trigger on it because it’s pretty cheap and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it (other than it being ugly, which I don’t give a shit about. It’s a trigger. As long as it works, it’s good.

Awesome. Yeah trade ins are often almost pristine. They seemed like a great deal, glad it worked out. Sights are easy, just get a pusher off Amazon and return it after. Mark where the center of the rear was and maybe take measurements. It is a bit of hell if you're an OCDey person. Personally I like blacked out rear sights. XS makes a set of irons that is a blacked out rear but with a small tritium dot. The front is a rather big circle, not the most precise for longer ranges, but I've done well at 25 yards with them. It's definitely more of a self defense set up.

I will say their coating kinda sucks. Only part of my gun with a bit of surface rust are these sights. But I did live for a while somewhere without central air and I carried with them.

I Haven't tried the new one, but I dislike stock glock triggers. They feel like there's so much grit in them. I know they get better with use. I started on DA/SA and then went to a P10C and I like how smooth and free of grit those triggers are. Just prissy preferences. Doesn't change the fundamentals of shooting.

I replaced the stock sights on my G19 and G45 with Dawson Precision sights. They offer blacked out, tritium and fiber optic options for rear and front sights.

Glock recently revised the Performance Trigger. I guess people had complaints about the original version, so Glock updated it. People seem to like the new version. I finger fucked a G17 that had one in it, and it was pretty nice. I've been tempted to replace the stock triggers in my G19 and G45 with it, but I've shot those guns enough that the stock triggers in them actually feel pretty nice now. I've never minded the stock triggers anyway though.
 
I've heard people talking about P/W silencers but haven't seen anyone actually do it.

The logic is the whole point behind the P/W is to reduce OAL with a silencer mounted. The 14.5 realistically only saves maybe 1.5 inch, this can vary between silencers and mounting systems. So a 5 inch silencer turns a 16 inch barrel into a 21 inch but a 14.5 still ends up at 19.5 (maybe). That's still not compact.

So the idea became if you're welding shit to your barrel you might as well take it to its logical end point and weld the silencer to the barrel.

My favorite online gunstore, Simpson LTD has some one who doesn't know the first thing about antique shotguns. they've got this hammer gun listed as "circa 1880s". this is wrong. by the way it is made it's clearly a product if the 1860's. While it is a breach loading SxS it retains a lot of muzzleloader features such as:
  • a Bar-in-wood action where the lock plates are completely surrounded by wood
  • A fore-end secured by a barrel wedge which was the common way of securing a barrel to the stock in a muzzleloading gun.
  • further, i suspect it may be a converted pinfire gun which could push its date of manufacture back into the 1850s.
by the 1880s the SxS shotgun was developed as far as it could be. a box lock made in 1885 will be the exact same in design and function as a box lock made in 2025.
 
I've heard people talking about P/W silencers but haven't seen anyone actually do it.
The worst(best?) I saw was a cut down Ruger M77/44 with a threaded sleeve pinned/welded to the chamber, he went with hardware washers for baffles on rails that could theoretically be removed and replaced.
There is sometimes glory in retardation.

don't pin a suppressor to the barrel. It won't come off. It cannot be cleaned. If there's any issues with it you are fucked. It's maximum retard and only done by people who know nothing and you don't see it because they're embarrassed and retarded
 
That's the point. But I think the proper course is making an integrally suppressed barrel, self-made examples can be disassembled from the front and are usually for pistol calibers.
With modern QD mounts there's really no need for PnW the can itself. Two stamps $400 for an SBR and suppressor is still going to be cheaper than replacing your suppressor when you can't clean it because you had the bright idea to permanently affix it to save a few inches. But frankly braces exist.


Also had no idea Ruger released a 7lb 30 rounds of 10mm folding backpack carbine

Yeah, pinning or welding the can to your barrel just to save $200 is really fucking retarded and just asking for all kinds of headaches in the future. Just do another tax stamp and have a much better, more flexible and useful weapon. If you're absolutely set on doing a P/W for some fucktarded reason, then only P/W the muzzle device. Not the suppressor. Otherwise look for an integrally suppressed upper.
 
alright so ya boi recently got a sporterized spanish mauser (model 1916) the seller did list it as a model 93 however its missing the length and it has the curved bolt handle, but I digress some forums claim you can shoot 7.62 nato, and some claim you can .308 (tho I think thats a stretch) I know mauser actions are known for being durable but can it shoot 7.62 no problem?
