Day 8 – Thursday 8th December Out the door at 7am, and despite the poor forecast and a very cold easterly, it was surprisingly pleasant if you were out of the wind. I headed down the bottom of the...

20" barrel(s) with fairly full house loads and my suppressors (DPT) last about 1000 rounds. Thats pretty much with no maintenance. They are such buggers to get apart.

Thank you 7mmsaum, you were right on the money. I had a think about it and have just finished making one myself. Started off seeing if a feeler gauge could handle a sharp bend, which it did not...
