Expats NFA picture & discussion thread!

Is that a B&T can? I'm interested in how they sound, because the price on them is pretty low. That one looks kinda stubby though.

You're talking about an outdoor range, right? You'll get to find out if the ported barrel works. On my friend's SD conversion there was quite a bit of port pop, which you can't hear 10 feet away. It was almost more fun to watch someone else shoot it that shooting it yourself. Except that it went rat-a-tat tat.

The can is, AFAIK, SPC9SD specific. The threads on the smaller portion that goes underneath the hand guard is externally threaded and it isn’t the standard MP5SD 18x1mm internal threads. The part past the hand guard is a bit chunky and is about the same size of the HG itself. I don’t normally buy cans that only fits one gun, but this one comes as a set with the rifle.

Yes, I only shoot outdoors. Last time I shot indoors was in some tactical scenario in a shoot house, but at least the volume of shooting was low.

I didn’t get to shoot today The wife was worried about July 4th traffic going back to CA, so we packed up and left NV at 7 am.

Happy 4th. We celebrate our freedom today, Expats!

Hum, looks off?



That's better





Ruger 10/22 SBR with 4.5" Beyer barrel, Kid 2-stage trigger, Rugged Oculus suppressor and old folding stock. With the exception of the barrel that I purchased new, all the other parts were sitting in my parts bin or cannibalized from old rifles I don't shoot any more. The stock was actually purchased in the late 70's or early 80's from the Navy Exchange at USMC El Toro in my pre-teen years.

That looks cool, Mac! Old and new at the same time.

How long can that stock withstand shooting without the Oculus?

[Mac Attack]

I haven?t tried it without a can and probably never will. You know as well as me that once you a hoot suppressed, shooting without one is so uncivilized 😉.

The stock It

The stock took a lot of effort to get it to work as it was made for a standard barrel. Thank goodness for my dremel! I had to adjust it even more to fit all of my suppressors with my Oculus being the widest.

I got to pick up my Silencerco Omega 9 K yesterday. I sent in the e-form 4 on Jan 10th and it came back yesterday, so just a few days shy of seven months. This unit comes with a tri-lug adaptor and thought it would go good with my HK clone very nicely. I sure am surprised how quick and easy it mounts and dismounts from the gun. Just push down, twist, and it's locked in place. I now need to get something better than straight thread-on for my rifle suppressor.

[Mac Attack]

Congratulations on your O9K. I have 3-lug adapters on my 9mm suppressors that I run on my PCC. Love 3-lugs!

[EBR Works]

Congrats. The O9K is a great can!

[sigstroker]

Bonus feature: It works on .300 Blackout subs AND supers. Although I'm not sure the 3 lug works so great with Blackout. They seem to leak loudness.

Bump to see more from you guys. Sadly, nothing new here..

[sigstroker]

Too poor for MG's, just waiting on a can. Haven't even tried 3 or 4 cans that I did get.

I’m too broke to shoot a machine gun. Unless I’m running a .22lr upper.

Too broke for anything gun related for now.

House >>> guns

[sigstroker]

Oh, I shoot my friend's machine gun. Or used to anyway. Haven't shot it in a few years. It's 9mm and I've got components to last for a few years at least, bought 20 years ago.

Nothing that I can afford really excites me in the NFA world right now. I have suppressors to cover all my main calibers (duplicates in most cases), enough SBR rifles and PCCs. I?m sure some new tech was on display at SHOT 2024 but I?m not ready to ditch what I already have for the latest flow through, 3D printed tech or piston uppers?etc.

The next logical step for me is to make the jump into a machine gun but being I am not a SOT, even the least expensive MG is much more than I am willing to spend. Plus other peoples MGs are cool to play with but too expensive to feed.

Macs are still a good deal even in todays market and can be found below 10k
Thanks to Lage they are quite versatile and worth feeding it the ammo
