Thread: Ghost silencer bush, do I need one?

Have looked on website and can see that a blank bush is available.

Will be using on the range initially but suspect would need one for bush bashing etc.

What do you think?

Also, I don't have access to a machine shop, should I get it predrilled, if that's a thing?

I would be happy to help bore it out on the lathe if you get the new bush. FYI they must be a good clearance on the barrel, I have many barrel off cuts here where the bore is not concentric to the outer diameter which would in effect lead to tipping the can...anyway we can discuss that if you want to get in touch....cheers Darren 021 223 8222

Nothing to think about, easy job in the lathe and I would do for free while you wait :-).....I have a long line of customers who had a go with a file or sand paper ha ha ha
