Well, the suppressor is back in place! The prepped barrel. The device being aligned. The aligning device. Regards 303Guy | ||

So - why dont you have a screw-on suppressor to avoid this happening ? Slip-ons for anything other than .22RF seems to be asking for adventure.... ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

I will eventually be fitting a soldered on threaded boss. That's mainly to facilitate cleaning and of course, removal for storage. For now, I am experimenting with different configurations. This one is threaded on the inside front for fitting of the baffles. I have tried a single baffle - that quietens the gun a huge amount but doesn't reduce recoil that much. Multiple baffles reduce recoil a huge amount but the gain in quietness is less than hoped for. Correct baffle design and positioning becomes critical. This thing only gives me 50mm in front of the muzzle to play with. Regards 303Guy | |||

What did you use to attach it? Lock-Tight? If that is what you used, I would guess the best stuff to use would be red. I used the blue stuff on my sight on my M1 Carbine and it melted right off. So, I used the red stuff and no more issues. So because it sits on the barrel I m guessing you too would need the red stuff because of the heat issue, among other things.

Beware using the red stuff! It's permanent up to about 425 degrees. You WILL need a torch (not a flashlight, mate) to get the thing off if you use the red.. | |||

I know about the blue stuff. I did not know it was low temperature. I did not know the red stuff was high temperature (425 is high isn't it?) I do know the green stuff is a bitch to get off! High heat flame to the outside until the green stuffs breaks down then get it off quick before the barrel gets too hot! But I thought the red stuff was medium strength? Anyway, the green stuff would normally work but I simply did not to it properly the first time! I don't think it will come off by itself again. I hope. (Hell, those mates of mine will have a hoot if it does). Anyway, for now I just want to get the best baffle configuration then I will do the final fitting. (Making it removable for cleaning).
