Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles For 1st Suppressor, thread current rifle or buy new?

Yep. I really have minimal new interest these days in rifles that I'd not suppress.

This

I had 5 rifles threaded while I waited on my suppressors. Yankee hill resonator r2 30 cal and dead air mask hd 22. I wish now I would have gotten the barrels cut shorter and may take 2 back to the smith to have cut 18”-19”. 22” barrel with a 7” can is a bit unwieldy for me. But I love shooting with a suppressor, as others have said I don’t really want to shoot a rifle without one now. You may just have one rifle done first and then decide if you want them shorter or what you want to do before you have them all threaded.

If I could go back in time, I'd have ordered nothing but EVOs - tis hard to whoop for the $$$, particularly so if one is buying in bulk.

Great lookin' package you've got there.

I gave it a haircut for you to visualize what it’ll be soon.

Looks much better

I ordered one last Jan?Feb and no word yet.


Still haven't came up with a rifle yet. Probably just order one of those little Ruger Ranch rifles.

I actually have a custom Nesika 270wsm that I don't use much, that i bought a 30 cal barrel blank for to make a 300 WSM. I think that's one of the rounds that is efficient with a can. Maybe 20 inches plus a harvester evo?

Thanks everyone.

Perfecto. You might need to run a smidge faster powder than normal for the 300wsm but that’s a great melding of form and function.

I have a couple of DA Sandman Ti that I use on a couple of 300BO bolt guns, one at around 16”, the other 19”. Running them subsonic is surprisingly quiet. When I put them on my AR and run supers 5.56, the supersonic crack makes it sound a little louder than a 22 mag.

I have a Mask 22 can in jail since July. I’m being told 7-8 month wait.

May want to read some reviews. Lot of people unhappy with how loud the Alaskan is compared to other similar size ti cans.

I would definitely cut and thread whichever you want. As said earlier the unthreaded ones will sit in the safe after you shoot one suppressed. I have a Silencerco Omega on a Kimber Adirondack 308 and it is as close to perfect as I can imagine.

What are they using it on? I don't have any magnum cartridges over .30 Cal. I'm more interested in the weight for stuff like .308 Win, .338 Fed or .358 Win as well as a 9mm AR-15/carbine.

Not magnums. Typical hunting cartridges 6.5 creed, 308, etc. Lots of different negative reports. Don’t remember many of the details. Just a common enough theme that I took it off my list.

Fugk Tards gunna fugtard!

Let’s go Bin!
