First Suppressor

[adamsredlines]

If you look most manufacturers advise against shooting cast through their Centerfire cans for that very reason.

Much of the fouling from rimfire is the waxy coating on the bullet, and no so much the lead. Federal made a powder coat type 22 for a bit and it didn't exhibit near the fouling of a regular 22, but they weren't subsonic. If I were to run a lot of cast bullets through a suppressor, I would look at coating them in something, or not using bullet lube.

I’m kink of being talked into a suppressor. I’m thinking just a one and done suppressor. Something I can use on a 9mm pistol carbine and 300blk. Any ideas?

Rugged Alaskan Ti. Non Ti is cheaper but heavier.

Alright, I’m gonna need suggestions on a suppressor cover that doesn’t cost as much as a tax stamp. What do you guys like?

I have limited experience with covers, but the two T&K Hunting ones have been pretty nice so far. I have their bino hardness too. Love it

I don’t usually use suppressor covers, but if you get one, make sure it has fire proof material in it that contacts the suppressor. You’ll want it high temp if you shoot more than a mag
Sub-tac and Armageddon Gear have some that are around $75-$80.

Shameless plug for my amigo Tom Fuller, Armageddon gear!

Reasoning for not usually using one? I’m having a hard time seeing a downside, especially considering I intensely dislike my legs being burned when slinging a rifle. Is it more training than a need for equipment?

 

[KurtM]

I personally have little use for one. I seldom do a mag dump while shooting pigs and 1-6 rounds just does not get a 30 cal can that hot. The few times I have been in a target rich "porquine" environment and have drained a 20 round AR-10 mag I just haven't been in a big hurry to sling my rifle.... After all the results are just laying around!

No reason, I just don't. I don't have an issue burning myself and I don't usually wear shorts on a range. I think it's training more than a need but they are nice to have. If I use one, it's primary function is to mask mirage from a hot suppressor; I find that more of an issue than anything. So it's not that I don't use one, it's that I don't usually use one. It's like not bringing a pair of gloves to the range: am I gonna have to call it quits? No, just nicer to have.

Whale whale whale.
10ish days for approval on the trust.
Now to find time to shoot.

Also, I gotta carry around the paperwork for these right?

I do. I just keep each in a nylon case with my paperwork in a ziploc bag. You can ask 5 different "experts" and get 5 different answers on this. My guy said keep it when you're out in the field or at the range, so I do.

To add, not the originals. Tote around copies...keep originals in safe.
I keep copies in my range bag so they're always with on range trips.
