Need Input On My New 300 "whatever" Rifle

[snipecatcher]

I shot my 10" barrel with the suppressor for the first time today. It is a fair bit louder than the 18" bolt action I had before it. One plus is that you can kill the action noise by switching the gas block to "off." It makes it a good bit quieter, but a shorter barrel is just going to be louder I suppose.

code 4 - glad you got things figured out



If Robert is such a fine engineer .. where did he get his credentials from? Surely an engineer has a degree in such matters.

I will defer Mr. Silvers opinions to that which I know he is more versed than myself. The next time I decide to produce a movie (more specifically Lethal Weapon 10) I'll ask him his professional opinion on the matter!

I don't know if Robert has a degree in engineering and I don't care. I know a hole lot of top engineers in the firearms industry who do not have degrees in engineering, and I know a lot of engineers with degrees that dont know shit.

Thanks. I design things, but am not an Engineer - and my degrees are both in Science. In the early days I made my own samples but now that I work at AAC I work with Engineers, Machinists, and Draftsman. Back when I designed my silencer I made the first ones (I have machine tools and weld, took classes for both at the local college to learn and read books). That silencer was recently adopted by the US Army for the XM-2010 sniper rifle.

Well you've tried to give a half-ass answer to my questions so I guess I'll try to answer yours.

I'm currently a 32 year old construction worker and have been actively shooting since I was old enough to physically hold a rifle (age 4). I was an active IPSC shooter for over 6 yrs. I've been in the NFA realm for over 11 yrs.

I currently have a nice little collection of tax stamps.


Most importantly .. I don't pretend I'm anything I'm not.


ETA: This has gone off subject long enough, and for that I apologize to the OP.
I'm done with Silvers.
Its obvious to me that Silvers and I do not agree nor will we likely ever.
We will likely not be exchanging Christmas cards either.

As for me I am just a bitter smoke eater that chugs through my days off playing with guns and having a few to many beers Occasionally an idiot prevails....this is my story...

Got out to shoot with the "modified" Paladin block. It worked great and SOUNDED ubber quiet now. I can now use IMG 4227 and H110. A2400 still did not work in this gun. H110 was definitely the quietest with 4227 being a close second. No need for hearing protection now.... The A1680 was the Turd of the bunch and was noticeably louder to all that listened. So that powder is going in the trash.

I did not get any groups shot, but I have good load data now. 9.5 H110 gets me 1040fps and 9.5 of 4227 gets me 1007fps.

Thanks....carry on

Glad you finally got it figured out!
