ctd 20 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I built a 300 blackout ak and it was a lot louder than at ar upper I replaced it with. It's still worth suppressing a ak, for your hearing sake and just to be polite to others in the area. And if your shooting at something alive it can be very handy for it to have no idea what way to run eg I got three red deer in under 10 seconds recently as they ran towards me after the first shot (308 supersonic) Have used mainly lead pills for subsonic and have never had any of the issues people seem to be worried about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 If you have never molded before I would think about just a 2 bullet mold. That's been suggested to me. Something about letting the mold get cooled if your bot fast enough. Also if you are sure you want a 4 bullet mold I'd get a bottom pour lead pot. I havent molded yet. I was on a quest to find lead and that went very badly, I had one tire shop give me some wheel weights and that was a semi truck shop so they were huge weight and I'm not sure if I let some zinc get into my lead mix so I kind of got dis courage and slowed down my quest. Now I'm looking at roofers to get some pure lead. Down side to that is I'll have to add some tin. so I'm kind of looking at my next move but see it pointless in buying molds if I can't get a source of lead. I was looking at loading .38 an if you can get cheap or free lead you could shoot .38 cheaper than .22 long rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MegamanX 65 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ai want to buy a pre 86 registered lower only. Any ideas where i can look that's not the autoweapons website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 They come up for sale every now and again, but they're usually complete rifles because of the relatively low cost of the upper versus the cost of the registered lower.subguns.com has excellent classified ads.

Sdustin 578 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yea I've never seen just a lower. Most people throw in a rifle for buying the lower since spending 20k+ a 600 rifle kit is a drop in the bucket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,930 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes, but not smart unless you own a pistol lower. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
