I'm what you might call a tax stamp enthusiast currently at 5 between silencers and SBR. The tax is a one time 200 for each NFA item and the paperwork is not that much of an issue although the wait for the items is horrible, as they drag their feet for months on end up to a year to approve it and send the stamp.

Greetings from Germany. Silencers do in fact add change the ballistics. Usually they add V0 and cut the gases clear behind a the bullet and thus effect the trajectory and speed.

Greetings. What sort of chambering and rifle set up do you have and what have you noticed that the suppressor does?

Imagine my surprise to hear a comment of mine being read aloud by a legend. Thanks, Ron!

I live in Scotland and shoot a .243 with a suppressor (we call them moderators). Our government and police actually encourage us here to use one for the reasons you mentioned and it is very easy to get it on your gun license. Mine took 2 weeks all together.

Exactly. They are polite to neighbors and animals and protective to shooter and bystander hearing, saving in medical hearing aids later.

Thanks for not being ugly to us suppressor owners and gas gun lovers. We hunt too. Suppressors absolutely change harmonics. Sometimes just a muzzle device alone but many documents and science behind a suppressor tightening up some groups. My old 1022 shoots dimes now that I put a 3 port brake on it I had laying around in 22 cal. Looks crazy but it shoots and my sandman makes 2 of my rifles tighten up but makes one open up

The short barrel craze sure contribute to muzzle blast & hearing loss .

Ron when I was testing a newly built 6.5 Grendel with a client we tested factory and handloads and we found that using a sound moderator the velocity increased by 50 fps over not using a suppressor/moderator I’ve not noticed it since but I’ve not specifically tested for it

The .260 Remington is simply the .308 Win necked down to 6.5mm and is yet another excellent example of a 'once wildcat' made standard by Remington. Other examples are the .25-06 Rem, the .22-250 and the 7mm-08. It goes to show how versatile the original .30-06 and .308 cases are when neck sizes are changed up or down. Taking the .30-06 case up to .35 calibre gives the .35 Whelen, another excellent although somewhat overlooked cartridge. Consumers are a finicky lot, overly influenced by advertising and hype. But then, manufacturers are in business to sell product. The entire firearms and ammo industries are dependant on ongoing sales of new products. "Bigger, better, faster, harder hitting" are now giving way to, "Further, more accurate, higher BC". It'll be interesting to see what the next wave of hype will involve.

Bore snakes are for in the field cleaning and shotguns. I watched a guy try to destroy his barrel with a brass rod attacking the crown, ramming it at angles. About hreaking the rod. Scoped it before and after. He used a power drill too. Thing looked spotless. Really surprised me. Ss bbl if i believe. I still do the shot cards for reloading. I buy a 100 pack online and they last forever.

Suppressors can in fact add muzzle velocity, though short ones, and some small ones can slow it down slightly

All my moderators (.243/.308/.303) add muzzle velocity across a variety of loadings, although its a small amount - 30-50fps

Very nice Ron. Always like listening to your comments. My thanks to you 👍👍

Great conversation sir ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! I’m with you on reloading data , write it on paper. I even make notes on my targets and save them in a file cabinet !

I look forward to your weekly videos Ron! Well done sir.

I bought a 45acp awhile back. It was a relatively hand made firearm. While heavy it shoots real accurate. But with the case came instructions on care: Do Not Clean For 600 rounds when first fired. To properly break in the barrel. I’m old but this 45acp shoots better than my eyes dirty or not.

Faithful French viewer and avid range goer here. You are right in pointing out suppressors are basically unregulated accessories over here, and have been since 2018. They are no longer considered an essential part of a firearm and therefore regarded as innocuous per se, so buying one is basically like buying a scope. Long live your excellent channel.

Hey Ron really enjoy your content very very educational keep up the good work it's always a pleasure and an interest to watch the different topics You were discussing suppressors They do actually affect the way your projectile performs it reduces the speed of your bullet Quite a bit usually you'll lose 3 to 600' per 2nd dependent on the caliber or cartridge

I can absolutely verify that suppressors can and do affect groups. With the suppressor on my 22lr I have seen groups change drastically. Some do better some do worse. Fact is they do change groups.

@jasonfiggemeier2499

Жыл бұрын

The effects on groups is due to changes in the harmonics. Much like a barrel tuner. As far as ballistics it would be velocity which is affected as well

Love your videos Ron!!!, a quick correction though. Suppressors can and will most definitely increase velocity on your gun. I have been comparing it with my Remington 700 with 22" Mcgowen barrel 8.5 twist 7mm Rem Mag. I get about 50 fps increase with a deadair Sandman L. On my 6.5 creedmoor i get about 20 fps. On the sniper rifles we have at work we routinely get increased velocity. I will say that the longer the barrel the less effective the Suppressor is at changing the velocity. If you shoot a gas gun suppressed you will notice the increased blow back in your face especially if you're a lefty like me which shows that there is most definitely increased pressure which will effect velocity. Love you're videos and my wife even says she likes them because you have such a kind voice lol.

In South Africa we buy supressors/silencer over the counter. No waiting or lisence requirements. Even if you don't have an fire arm license you can walk into any fire arm store and buy any supressor/silencer. If you pay for it you take it💪🏻👌🏻

I believe the railroad date you were referring to was 1869. Great video, thanks for posting!

The Remington model 8 was the internal magazine fed Semi-auto rifle of it's time, the model 14 was a tube fed pump/ slide action of it's time. The updated model 8 was renamed the model 81 and the updated model 14 was renamed the model 141.

Well I've personally measured the velocity changes on 3 different AR's with 6 different types of factory ammo. Suppressers most definitely do increase muzzle velocity. So that is an added benefit of them. When I hear people say all they do is change the point of impact it makes me cringe because they 100% do change the speed of the bullet as well.

I love keeping written records too, but I never take them out, I photo it with my phone and send or print out a copy, if not just straight out copy the written paper…

I don't think the 260 is going away. Maybe in factory ammo but reloading components are readily available. I have 3 260s and adding 2 in 260AI. A thoater is cheap and can get far more performance that the Creedmoor. For me i personally dont shoot above 130 gr bullets in a 9 inch twist. I do have 8 inch twists in the AIs. The 105gr blitzking are phenomenal on ground hogs.

Logarithmic scale for dB's is the word you were looking for ? They are the inverses of exponentials.

I looked into getting a 260 Rem but with copper bullets more commonly being insisted on here in the UK the 6.5 CM offers more reloading flexibility for longer bullets in a short action. Seems a shame, but there you go.

I have only chronographed 2 rifles with and without suppressors and found that both showed a little increase in velocity. Might be my experience only.

Suppressors do add a little velocity to a rifle. Clint at Classic Firearms has a video about that

The 260 "failed" because its SAMMI spec is 1:9 twist. You can't shoot heavier, better performing projectiles in 1:9 twist in 6.5 caliber. Yes you can get a custom barrel, but custom wasn't as popular or as accessible as it is today. People just wanted to buy a rifle off the shelf and go shooting and they couldn't shoot good projectiles with SAMMI spec 260 Rem because of that slower twist rate.

Suppressors are logarithmic in the sound reduction.

I write the moa and velocity in the “comments” or “notes” on the index cards/stickers

Here in the UK moderators are not mandatory but they are common. In some mainland European countries they are still illegal. I believe France is one of them.

Jhon Browning also invented the early semi auto pistols as we know them today with fn and colt

I have the same issue with suppressors, I just don't like the way it looks. It's also so heavy on the front end of your rifle. Other than that, they are bloody awesome to use.

Wire a plain light bulb in your safe, not a big one, maybe 40 watts, if you live in a high humidity area this will keep the humidity low enough to prevent rust, common sense says keep the bulb away from powder and loaded rounds...and anything that will catch fire, no direct contact with anything that will catch fire or melt...

It's a one time payment for the tax stamp, but there's alot of weird rules about transporting NFA items across state lines

Actually, a silencer normaly improves accuracy as it reduces the ammount of gas "overtaking" the bullet after leaving the nozzle and thereby destabilizing the first flight phase. - The one and only thing that is easier over here in europe is buying supressors.

Decibel scale is logarithmic..... exponential.....I believe the silly federal moderator tax is a one-off...

Lever guns are much easier to clean if you just take the receiver apart to get to the breach

It's a 1 time tax on each suppressor, Mr. Ron.

Once you start using suppressors youll never go back. Youll never buy another rifle without a threaded barrel. To anyone who dreads going thru the paperwork and wait times, just do it. The sooner you get it started the sooner youll have it. I waited for years and years and finally made up my mind to do it and i regret waiting so long. If you go through SilencerShop its very easy.
