So, I may have posted some erroneous info here... When they first announced the Saker ASR, I had gotten the impression that it could only be configured to take ASR or direct thread, but digging a little deeper, it looks as though they still use the MAAD system, but they now ship with the ASR MAAD unit instead of the Saker Trifecta MAAD unit. Also, it looks like they made the 7.62 version bigger, so it is about the same size as the now-discontinued Specwar. The new version is obviously intended as a Specwar replacement, and I guess the Omega 300 is filling the role in their lineup that the o

A big problem with testing cans as I understand it, is the repeatability... There are just a lot of variables involved, so even using the correct calibrated meter per one of the "official" testing methodologies (there's more than one), the prevailing atmospheric conditions at the time of testing are a big factor, along with the caliber and loads used, etc. All of the can makers that conduct decibel meter testing are going to do so in a way that shows their own cans to best advantage, so you have to take it all with a grain of salt. Then there is the matter of tone; regardless of what the me

I wish I had listened to everyone who tried to steer me away from AAC and towards the Saker in the first place.

Also I would stay away from AAC's rifle cans... I bought an SDN-6 a couple years ago as my first can, and it worked out so well that I bought the Saker for the exact same role last year. The AAC can itself is OK and has good suppression, but the 51T mounting system is total garbage. The mounts are not consistently made and if you get one that your can locks up tightly on, it is the luck of the draw. Also the fit quality changes over time as you shoot it, so what was once my best fitting muzzle device on my .308 Saiga is now loose, which came with a decrease in accuracy and big POI shift.

You have got to be shitting... With a glut of silencers currently on the market, silencer manufacturers laying off workforce, and practically begging people to buy their cans at deep discounts, attempting to buy a can from a company known for building shotguns and not silencers, and notorious for long waits is completely insane. Current wait time for ATF to process a Form 4 is over 11 months, so waiting for the manufacturer to build one on top of that is stupid when it is a buyer's market from companies that actually build cans for a living. I think some of them are even offering to pay the

Lots of different makers for .308 cans and .22 cans, but IMO you will not go wrong with Silencerco. I currently have 3 of their cans, and I could not be happier with them. The Specwar was mentioned, and it is a good, tough can with great suppression (my brother has one), but it is a legacy can that they got when they bought out SWR, and it doesn't have the sort of modularity that the market demands these days, plus it is a bit heavy. It does use the ASR mounting system, which Silencerco has been adopting across the board for several of their cans. The Saker was mentioned, which is a can

Article I was reading earlier seemed to indicate that the Iraqi army is about to deliver the coup de gras to ISIS in that country. They are down to just a few neighborhoods in Mosul, and are expected to be eradicated after a few more days of urban combat.

It helps if you are building an SBS when you need to remove the gas block; you can just drive out the pins, support the block in a vise, and beat on the muzzle with a BFH. You're just going to cut it off anyway if it gets bashed a little. 8^)

Buys gun not designed to run cheap, low-powered ammo. Bitches that gun will not run cheap, low powered ammo... Yup, still the Douche About Guns.

Because it's a merchant vessel on the registry of a long-standing ally, and this was most likely the act of one shithead on night watch. The guys who were asleep and/or not steering the boat don't deserve to die any more than the US sailors did, not to mention I'd guess that ship was crawling with authorities as soon as it made port.

From what I was reading elsewhere, the shipping lanes where this took place are very busy and somewhat chaotic.... Seems entirely possible that the freighter could have taken advantage of this to approach close enough to make it more difficult to escape the second ramming attempt. Combine that with a destroyer crew focused on avoiding the normal traffic they expected to see, rather than the hostile attack they were actually facing, but had no reason to expect in that locale. Some America hating shithead found himself in the right place at the right time, in possession of the last weapon any

Hope you are right. Pointing out Obama's anti-gun record in 2008 didn't seem to do us any good.

Dems currently have a bit of a leadership/power vacuum at the top... If DiFi can position herself in a statesman role and as the one who "cleaned up" the party she could have a real shot at the big chair in 2020. Note also that she's one of the few dems who are not totally insane from a foreign policy standpoint. Depending on how things play out over the rest of Trump's term, she could be really hard to beat. 8^P

What Darth said, plus every time they can add more ass-pain to the process, they ensure that fewer people will be willing to go through it. That's the real reason so many places are off limits to CCW.... The point is to make carry enough of a pain in the ass that few people will bother, or alternatively to force otherwise law abiding gun owners into breaking the law if they want to go armed.

I watched that; about the only thing he gets right is when he says "I could have just shut up." To hell with both of them. Even if Comedy Central edited the video to make it say something totally opposite from what was said, that doesn't explain away the following: Seems to eliminate any question of him having been taken out of context. As much as he'd like to change it now, he said it and he meant it.

It all makes more sense when you realize that the violence of the left is free speech, and the free speech of the right is violence.

You'd certainly be automatically excluded from all child molestation cases.

You said you were leaving.

I know what each of those words mean individually, but together they make no sense.

Got it, only your personal definition of "hero" is valid.

As a pilot I have to respectfully disagree with that statement. The controllers tried to vector him to attempt landing on dry land, and he chose to ditch it in the Hudson (where he could be sure not to land on anybody) instead. Maybe they could have made it back to an airport, maybe not, but if not then the population density in that area almost assured that there would have been a lot of people hurt and killed on the ground, even in a crash landing that would have been survivable for many or most of those on board. Given that up until that time, basically nobody had ever had a water ditchi

I think every POW in the Hanoi Hilton probably went above and beyond what a POW could reasonably be expected to go through, due to the depravity of the enemy. Don't misunderstand me; I think McCain is a world class douche, but what Trump said that time was bullshit.
