I made a post back in July introducing a bunch of great guys we had added on. I was flipping through photo today and thought that it might be a good idea to repost it now that folks have had a chance to interact with Paul, Brent, Derek and Cade this past year and maybe put a Face to the Email address:

Sorry for the weak pictures, but these guys were not hired as Spokes Models

Thought we would show a new Nikon Scope with a 300 BLK specific BDC we will be working with.

Nikon P-300 Scope, 2-7×32

The DVD/BluRay of Zero Dark Thirty was released yesterday. In the extras is a bit on the gear. If you thought there was a lot of AAC Cans in the movie, you should see the extras

Mers and I wandered down to south Georgia for some NV testing with TNVC and on to the FDCC shoot on Sunday. Thought I might throw a few random photos in here

Life is full of good stuff

I get this question occasionally, so I thought I would pop this old blog post to the top.

“How do I put a Silencer on my AK”

AK type rifle with 762SDN6 Silencer

We get this question every now and again. Yes, you can put a silencer on an AK . . . however, there are a couple of things you should know.

Part of the magic of the AK type rifles is the reliability. This legendary reliability of the AK is born from loose tolerances. Loose tolerances do not make for great silencer hosts as a rule of thumb.

Most AK type rifles have M14x1LH threads for the flash hider. However, MOST times there is not a straight line on an AK and these flash hider threads may not be concentric to the bore. With a Flash Hider, this is not going to be as big an issue. Add a silencer to off center threads and you can get end cap or baffle strikes. For this reason we do not make a muzzle device for mounting silencers threaded M14x1LH.

We recommend if you want to add our Flash Hiders and/or Silencers, that you have your barrel threaded concentric to the bore in 1/2″x28tpi. We make a special 1/2×28 threaded Flash Hider with the bore through the flash hider EDMed out to accept a 7.62mm projectile. The 51T version is part number 100908 and the 18T version is part number 100909. These Flash Hiders also work well with 6.8Spc rifles threaded 1/2×28 or some lightweight FAL type rifles are also threaded 1/2×28.

The next thing about AK type rifles is they have an open gas system. They bleed gas straight off the barrel and allow supersonic gas to escape into the atmosphere. This supersonic gas causes additional noise. This means that a suppressed AK will not be as quiet as say a DI AR15 type rifle.

The last thing to know is that while suppressed AK type rifles is that while full sized rifles sound “Good”, about 137dB or so. Krink style AK type rifles are just LOUD, even with a silencer. Much like a 7.5” AR15 is never quiet.

As to who we would recommend for doing threading, witho9ut a doubt for AK work, In Range C2 is Kodak TN. Troy does great work and is a phenomenal AK builder

Mike Mers and I will be in Florida attending the Florida Defensive Carbine Club‘s 13th Anniversary shoot this coming Sunday, March 17th.  The shoot will be held at the Ancient City Shooting Range, 3021 Agricultural Center Dr, St Augustine FL 32092.

We are planning on having a side match so folks can try 300 AAC BLACKOUT and silencers.  Please make it a point to come out and support the FDCC

While at the DPMS Outbreak Omega Shoot last year we got to spend some quality time with Jeff and the guys from Predator Pursuit. Great great guys. Please check them out.

Here is a preview of the show they did. I am told the show is airing at 4pm tomorrow on the Sportman’s Channel

By the way, Steve from DPMS looks like he should be using Blackout on those Hogs.

While your at it, check out this video Montage from the show:

I don’t think the Bear made it

We got a lot of folks buying up the 300BLK dies as fast as we can get them in. Just a heads up, big box of them came in the other day and they are back in stock.

Good info from Paul and Student of the Gun

Note: Do not use the crush washer with carbines, it should go right to the shoulder. Crush washers can cause issues
