    Not sure about replacement vs repair, but if you take it to a store they'll probably sting you $50-$60 to cover insured international shipping to the US and back. I've never looked into what it'd...

    Hermitage liked post by PaulNZ On thread : Length of a rifle with welded on suppressor?
    I probably didn't explain myself clearly. With a suppressor left on and uncleaned, absolutely the muzzle will corrode - no argument here. It's just that the suppressor being aluminium is not the...

    I have a Little Badger fold down 22lr, with a DPT can. The barrel is already 16", and the rifle folds in half. With CCI Quiets (40gr, 710fps) all you hear is the click of the trigger and the thunk of...

    As an alternative to welding, use high grade Loctite retaining compound. It was accepted by the Police in the 10 round magazine fiasco, and specifically mentioned in their official paperwork. If they...

    If there was any galvanic corrosion between the suppressor and barrel, then it would also occur in the other contact points, namely the threads, but it just doesn’t happen. It doesn’t need to be...
