    45 ACP Carbine

    Another little one done, I have been on and off of this one for a while now. I started out as a tired 223 Rossi which I re-barreled for 45 ACP, I also fitted it with one of my custom made over barrel K baffle suppressors.

    Being that 45 is already subsonic and these K cans are great performers, this thing is really quiet, sounds something like a well suppressed 22, apart from a big thud when the projectile hits ha ha ha.

    Not tried it for accuracy yet but it was made with a new barrel blank and it only meant to be a short range hunter, perfect for home-kill or pigs etc.

    Greetings,
    Is there some neat stuff around these days or what. A neat little rifle for just walking around. It's this type of thing that spins my wheels these days. Nice trim single shots that you can stick in your pack if you tire of carrying it. Just cant get worked up over rifles with a canoe paddle for a stock and a car muffler for a scope.
    Well done.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    Does the suppressor have an isolator tube?

    No the rear reflex chamber of this one runs straight on the barrel but there is an O ring in the rear end cap.
