Thread: Gun city quality firearms…. Yea na

I luckily have an engraving Pantagraph and will start engraving the muzzle thread specs on the barrel near the muzzle.

A few of my Contender barrels share suppressors so this would make things a bit clearer in the future.

That’s my gut feeling on it.

I have had a minor issue myself where I could feel a new suppressor gauling as I started screwing it on, the threads on the rifle in question needed further attention, I might have been able to argue it wasn’t my fault, but fault was neither here nor there, I was focused on making it work for hunting deer rather than witches. I mention it because it demonstrates that even though I thought I knew my stuff, I got caught out by a blind spot.


For a different but comparable perspective, I think we would all agree that if a mechanic fitted an incorrect oil filter and it fell off because it had the wrong thread, the owner of car doesn’t or shouldn’t have to own or wear that mistake.
But if I went into Repco and asked for a filter for a 1990 Corolla, and they sold me the wrong one resulting in a seized motor, I would imagine it would be hard work for me to put liability on Repco.


Probably the best answer we can get is that you would hope the shop gets it right, but even without motive, when abundant opportunity meets human hands, error is only a matter of time.

As far as Repco, nup they gotta wear that so probably not the best analogy. However if you did the work yourself and fitted the filter and didnt check it was right - well you pays your money but in the end your safety is your problem check your own crap and don't rely on someone else wiping your crack for you.

whats to stop those with multiple suppressors putting a simple ID(even a bit of nail polish) on specific rifle suppressor combos. Ive never had any probs with mine.

Not sure how you even come to the conclusion about the quality of their firearms. Do their tikkas, sakos remingtons etc come from different factorys than where other retailers get theres from?

Be worth checking the actual threads match. Would be supposed how well a m15x supressor will shoulder up on a m14x1 thread if your a gronk at GC

This reminds me of the tale of the proud owner of a new 308. Him and a mate were having a coffee before heading to the range. His wife walked passed and asked what the tube thing was ( suppressor ) says owner, but the bullet won't fit out of that she says !
The helpful salesman had sold him a 243 suppressor.

It will be fine after the first one has gone through
