Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

G'Day Wirehunt,

I imagine they could cope with that kind of workload!
The toughest work out I have given one, was with one of my earlier models and a select fire M4.
This was not my rifle (or ammo, Yip Yip Ya Hoo!) but I was given it and a full 30 rnd mag, which I put through it in a series of burst.
The first few bursts were all 6 to 8 shots, then as I got used to the trigger on the (Stoner SR 16) rifle, the last couple were 2 and 3 shot bursts!

Whilst I have not yet had the opportunity to similarly test my current All stainless Cans this way, I'm booked in to do another test, with these same people!

I have to say, I was a bit overwhelmed at the above outing, as I was so pleased that my design worked so well (especially on full-auto)!
So I hope at this next outing, I'll be a bit more composed and be able to actually TALK and not be like a School Kid in a Lolly Shop!!!

Wirehunt, the short answer is No, at present, all of my suppressors are forward mount Cans!
I'm a realist and because of this, I realise that this design of mine, may only be compatible, with smaller capacity (up to 50 grains of propellant?) cartridge cases!

When I get the time, I plan to sit down and work out how to put together a Can for my .340 Weatherby.
I hope to use this rifle and 225grain bullets, as my simulation of a .338 Lapua shooting 250grainers!
Only time will tell but this should answer, quite (pun intended) a few questions for me!!!

Doh!
Homer

this is my latest.

Howa ranchlands in 7mm08. DPT suppressor, Harris bipod, Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-12x40 scope, 10 round mag kit, home made sling, Carsten cheek rest. I want to get a new stock, have been looking at hightech ones, and will probably order one very soon. I have emailed Vulcan barrels about getting a new barrel. Not much difference between a vulcan barrel, and a trueflight one. Decisions?

Just another mongrel parts gun. DMPS lower. DSA upper receiver, LPK, Hogue grip & ACE stock from Brownells, $400 no name barrel off TM, YHM gas block, front & rear sights & other bits I had laying around. Just looking for a decent muzzle device for the business end.

How'd you get the stock from brownells? They wanted export paperwork from me to get one and I couldn't be arsed so bought one from Australia instead for like fifty bucks more

They never asked me for paper work. I've got 2 of them so far. Just made sure the order stayed under $100US.

I will add that customs asked for an import permit for the first one. I just emailed them back to tell them it was for an A cat rifle & it arrived 2 days later.

My problem may have been that my order was around $800, then.

That'll do it.

Parp

^Is it working?

shut up


(sort of)


(waiting on an adjustable gas block to fix the problem once and for all)


(the problem is that nz gunsmiths have downs syndrome)

What can is that Gimp? Looks interesting? Man I want an AR15

"Stone Free", made by "Homer" on this forum. Very compact, stainless steel, $$, haven't fired it yet. Going up to the range today if I can be bothered.

I'd be interested to hear what the back pressure is like. The HRE AR can is alright. Over gasses it a bit (could tell from the ejection pattern changing from 4 to 2 O'clock). Mind you this was with a middy so could be worse with a carbine

Expensive or cheap?

Also, what scope is that? Trijicon?

Not cheap, put it that way.
