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.

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.

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?

Decided to pick up the rxm, ending up trading everything else in(CZ kept having feeding issues and the smith developed a bad habit of having a dead trigger sometimes) and I really love it. Plan on building my collection back up eventually but poor so gotta make sacrifices

first of all make sure its not in 7.62 CETME. the CETME round is identical in dimensions to 7.62x51 and .308 but has a lighter powder charge.

if it is in 7.62x51 you should be able to fire standard .308 win target ammo through it as they are pretty much loaded the same these days, but i would not shoot any hot .308 hunting loads through it. not necessarily because it will blow up but it will accelerate wear on the rifle. these Spanish mausers are known to have heavy recoil and the stock will suffer for it.

Kinda sounds like what the Japanese Self Defense Force had going on when they were still issued their 7.62x51mm rifles. Their ammunition had a lighter load than NATO standard and IIRC their rifles wouldn't hold up to the heavier standard 7.62x51mm ammunition.

1916 Mausers haven't had much confirmation on the conversion process, but FR-7 and 8 Mausers use the CETME-C barrel as opposed to the CETME-A barrel, so they're fine. The only exploded Spanish Mausers I've seen posted were from reloads or the infamous Pakistani cannon-powder "surplus" that flash welded the case into the chamber and blew the bolt halfway out of the receiver.

The French ran 7.62 NATO through the CETME-A with no catastrophic effects either, so I think it's a rather moot point.

Apparently, Allegedly, Russians captured a very rare and obscure machinegun from ukr forces. a TKB-521 designed by a fellow named Nitkin, looks like a PK series but isn't

They then slapped a NV optic on it

Oh and someone (probably a ukr militant) has a gun that like 95% of people who are aware of it only know about because of 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts (where it is improperly classified as a submachinegun). A Vepr bullpup developed by the ukr equivalent of NASA

Some of you may be familiar with the Surefire OBC, which features a longer stroke length due to it's proprietary gas key design. Many of you may however be unaware that surefire once had a version of the OBC called the AROC (Advanced Rifle Operating Core) that incorporated a proprietary bolt with lugs that were 30% longer than milspec. When KAC has the patent on rounded lugs and LMT has the patent on stress relieved lugs I guess you go long.

@Club Sandwich
I'm tagging you because you'd be the person most likely to know anything
In this 2009 New Yorker article all about the AA-12 and militarized robots there is the following sentence

"The smaller robot had wheels, and its turret gripped a semi-automatic version of an M-16 rifle, which Baber had re-engineered so that it, too, fired without recoil."

The Baber mentioned is Jerry Baber, who bought the design of the original Atchisson automatic shotgun design and reenginered it into what we now know today as the AA-12. My question is, do you or anyone else have any idea what could he have done to that rifle, My assumption was that he played with the buffer and slapped a huge muzzle brake on. But there's a small possibility he incorporated some of the tech in the AA-12.

Cool stuff, I've been looking into that myself. From what I've read it should be compatible with Gen 3 parts, please report if you choose to install trigger group upgrades like a custom connector and run into issues.

Are those the actual rounds or for display purposes only? The rifle must have a really sturdy chamber if it can eat 14.5mm pressures from plastic casings. 🤔

Muhreens have been playing with using plastic case .50 BMG in M2's and True Velocity shows pretty consistent success with Poly case rounds So I don't think it would be a stretch to assume they work. Also, I neglected in the past to thank you for Identifying that Indonesian pistol.

Probably won't(dont like modifying trigger shit in carry guns) but did put some rounds through it and it has better trigger and recoil impulse than a standard g19
 
Asked elsewhere, but figured why not here too.

Building out my M249S case, and looking for ideas, thinking;

2 Rows of Magazines stacked 3 deep
1 Extra Barrel
1 Optic
1 Tool Kit (headspace timer, etc)
