The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

I had an 8.3" barrel in my AR9. It was long enough that some of the 140gr-147gr would go super. Federal 150gr Syntac ammo is a little more expensive, but stays sub.

Gotcha. I think my scorpion is the primary fun gun, but will be nice to be able to switch the suppressor around and take ad antshe of the trilug setup.

Isn't the syntec ammo coated? No concerns there in a suppressor? Seems like I recently saw a thread where folks said it was fine, and I'm guessing it's been OK for you?

Good morning INGO.

Anyone know of a good heavy duty ratcheting pruner for around 1" diameter saplings?
My old ones just don't work good anymore, and I'm in the hunt for another pair.

Have not tried the ratcheting type. Fiskars compound leverage is usually enough for me.

Morning all...

I'll check them out.


Edit:
Are these what you are talking about?
Says only good upto 5/8"

Yes, Syntech is coated. I haven't had any issues with it and suppressors. However, at the last FGE, AllenM did not want me to use it in his suppressed full auto.

Good late morning, gangsters.
We could use some rain .... things are getting too dry !

Does polymer coating do something different with full auto than semiautomatic with suppressors? In my semiautomatics it's very clean no fouling in my barrel. I do not use a suppressor for obvious reasons lol. I've got suppressed sound naturally.

Morning everyone, getting ready for the second cup of coffee, remember i'm an hour behind. Over the weekend I did get a chance to go over that S&W 64-5 I bought. Cleaned the action up a bit, got all the scratches out, did a radical recrowning, chamfered the cylinder holes and beadblasted.

Hubba Hubba Drill..!! nice work on that one.!!!

The only difference would be rate or fire and the added heat in the barrel and suppressor.

The full auto owner didn't want to take any chance gunking up the suppressor...my words and assumption and with his greater experience and knowledge, I accepted that.

That's what I was wondering if something like that was the reason.
Would love to find out more on this.
So you think it's just a heat, suppressor thing correct.

There have been some reports of unstable rounds/keyholing on the interwebs and someone I know got 1500 rounds replaced by federal for same reason. I would think keyholing would be really bad for a suppressor.

Ah I reload using polymer coated from Hoosier and Summit City bullets. Never had any keyhole.

I think its specifically the federal 150 gr

Got a little bit of rain tonight. Looking like we'll get more tomorrow.

Federal Syntech Action Pistol 9mm Luger 150 Grain ammo is specifically designed for action shooting sports' power factor requirements. No more power than is required for pistol length barrels. That's why they don't go supersonic in the longer PCC barrels.

 

[MindfulMan]

Only a tiny bit of rain here.
Probably more tomorrow.

I get to visit The Rocket in a couple of days.
