I've had constant tinnitus for the past 22 years. I'd rather 1 or 2 less firearms and keep it to a dull roar than add to it.

Tho I do suspect my Surefire in jail cost more than 150 to make - American labor wages and all.

CNC's ain't cheap.

I just picked up an Otter Creek Labs this morning. They're in London, if you want to support some KY boys. The reviews on their products are good.

Do you apply the same thinking to everything that is adjacent to guns? ie - optics, mounts, lights, holsters, armor, NV, thermal, etc?

Wonder what it costs in raw materials and labor to build a Glock?

I like the HUXWRX (formerly known as OSS), design.

The best thing I ever did was swap out my factory Ruger parts for Volquartsen in my MK IV 22/45 Tactical.

All Ruger had to do to make a decent factory trigger pull with their parts was stone the engagement surface of the sear. As it was, when I ran it across a stone it looked like a topo map.

Although I don't own one and have never seen one I'm sure the threads would be fine series like 32 or so TPI. If they're buggered enough to keep them from bottoming out on the abutment it would do it. Something definitely ain't right. It's be interesting what Lane has to say about it. There's two sides to every argument. Not saying that anyone's wrong but something is definitely not right.
A friend of mine builds suppressors and has built them for companies early on before they were set up to do their own. He has a CNC shop and can mass produce baffles and such. He is licensed and sells them himself but they are sort of a reflex design. I built mine myself using baffles I bought from him on a form 1. It's a welded design and the way they're built the baffles are a light press fit in the main body and welded on both ends to keep people from messing with them. It works well but probably heavier than a lot of people would like. There are some good suppressors on the market today.

Wrong. It's leaking between the rear cap and the main tube. There is an O-ring in there that can't contain the pressure and thus the leaks. 224th's can has been in Lanes hands 3X to stop the leak, and it still leaks. They can't fix the problem. Mine went back 2X and still leaked. It was returned to Lane for a refund. I'm happy to say I don't own it any longer.


Leaking O-ring? Was it designed by Morton Thiokol?

If you applied that logic to everything you'd have nothing. And maybe you do, or don't that is.

My suppressors add value. I don't give a rat's ass what the actual cost of manufacture was. They are worth the value they add to my shooting. Simple as that.

I resisted the idea of getting a suppressor for years. I thought they were expensive, unnecessary and frustratingly complicated with the government red tape. One afternoon my buddy and I were making our typical northern gunshop loop and I stopped into a small shop in a small town just north of us and saw a 30 cal suppressor for $450. Like all the “big decisions” in my life I made a spur of the moment decision to buy it. I formed the trust online and did the paperwork and 9+ months later I was the proud owner of my first suppressor and hopelessly hooked. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be buying another one this week…..

A few days ago I ordered the .458 Bravo anchor brake for my Hybrid 46 from SilencerCo and I’m looking forward to trying that out on my 338’s and Whelen. The reduction in recoil and muzzle blast that the suppressor alone offers was very impressive so I’m hopeful that the bravo brake offers even more recoil reduction…..which it’s supposed to do in spades according to the reviews I’ve read.

i have a TBAC Ultra 7 and couldnt be any happier. as was mentioned above, its extremely lightweight and works very well. i would caution you going too short more or less eliminates the idea for a suppressor, especially on a 30 cal. if you are going to put a few cans on the same form...then sure, get a shorty, mid size etc but if you are getting just one...i, personally, would not go for the shortest/lightest option based on that alone

LOL...

I have three Lane, three TBs, a Bowers and a 22 Sparrow (or something).

I love the Lanes, tolerate the TBs, love the Sparrow and detest the Bowers.

BUT...

If I ever win the lottery... I will buy a Wyoming Arms short, fat, midget can... just out of curiosity.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
