So, it's more of an integral suppressor then?

How far back is the barrel ported, and does it need sub sonic ammo?

Yes, but it easily detaches.

I've never taken it apart, it hasn't seen the light of day since we moved and I probably haven't used it for over 20 years, it makes the gun really nose heavy.

Kent and I went back to the Automag days, he was a good friend. His place up near Huntington was a treasure house of guns.

From biochemist to becoming the leading expert on all things automatic is quite the resume! It sounded like he followed his passion.

He was a really energetic guy, always pushing guns to the limit. We bought, sold and traded a lot of guns.

I'll bet it does having another barrel in there. It's probably pretty quiet I would imagine.

When you said the name, it rang a bell. I read about this kind of stuff to much, and I'm sure I've seen his name before.

I don't think there was an NFA item from any era that Kent hadn't shot and taken apart. Outside of a museum, he had the only Chauchat machine gun I've ever seen. An early WW1 French issue to US troops.

Automag days? Like, AMT Automag?

And he probably got it to run reliably. Lol. I've seen a few for sale on Subguns lately for not bad money considering it's probably the first man portable auto. Very historic even if they weren't very reliable.

 

[Leadeye]

Yes. They were impressive hand guns in their day.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Very cool piece Leadeye, do you still have any??

 

[KJQ6945]

Especially in .30 carbine. A buddy had one and we about ran people off shooting it at an indoor range. Loved that gun!

.30carbine puts out some heat in a pistol.

Have two left, the one in the picture, and one of the special order guns that Lee Jurras had made for his company Super-Vel in Shelbyville. It's the only one made for a left handed person.
