Unfortunately, I do. Every post must be read as there are occasionally jewels of wisdom that can’t be found anywhere else.
The process is time consuming and can be mentally painful, LOL.
Though difficult to do so, the effect is observable. The slight increase in velocity moves the point where the bullet slows through the sound barrier and destabilizes just a little further out.
For its uses, the device certainly has its place. Right next to barrel crowning, muzzle brakes, compensators, and flash hiders.
Personally, It’s a particularly sore point of contention that they’re not more readily available.
Being interested in the sound reduction primarily, I made sure to research as much as I could and then bought one for my .22 caliber firearms almost a year and a half ago.
Just one. A small metal tube. Because tinnitus sucks. And the law says I can’t make one for ten bucks.
I’m STILL waiting on the National Firearms Act department of the Bureaucracy of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives to decide whether or not I am worthy of turning a tube counterclockwise onto my barrels.
Also, I may be a bit biased.
I don’t talk about what I own.
California should make everyone think about open talk in public.
Bias is good. Hold out for the best.
Glad you found something that is working for you.
