I have been noticing patterns with the accuracy of my 7mm mag and when going over the rifle noticed if I knock the rifle there is a metallic rattle within the suppressor as though the isolating tube is rattling on the barrel. After a couple of shots once the barrel is warm the rattle goes away and the groups tighten right up (I don't let it get hot).
Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. I'll ring the manufacturer tomorrow to have a chat with them and see what's happening
.
Whats happning is you shud be gettin a new bugga there hori :)
Gunworks? Mate had one on a 243 come loose internal. Awesome service though and was replaced free of charge. Very professional operation.
It was one of those discoveries that explained why you would get good groups one day then go back another day to.confirm the load and have inconsistent results. Have burnt a fair bit of powder over that time
yea they shouldnt rattle. talk to the guys who made it. the rattle will obviously go away as the metal swells under heat, but it shouldnt do that tho
Its going in to be looked at tomorrow. I'm glad I haev finally narrowed down what was happenning with it, it was only by chance it got knocked and heard the rattle
Is it a big rattle or a small one (I know - good question aye LOL)
Like a single baffle loose or all the guts?
Is it anything duct tape will fix?
A "mate" hasnt put something in there for you to stress over?:DQuote:

More like a single baffle but it actually sounds like something hitting on the barrel rather than within the suppressor itself (very good question ;) )Quote:

Was never concerned that it wouldnt be rectified but yes it is good news. Looking forward to seeing what difference it makes. It was shooting dam well once things tightened up
