Other than waiting on my suppressor to get out of jail, all I’ve got left on the to-do list is a stock wrap

OCL Titanium on an AR-22. This thing was my intro to suppressors this year.

It’s obscenely quiet with CCI Quiets and Clean-22s. I’ve been teaching my nephew how to shoot with it lately. Bit of a leap forward from the single shot Pappy taught me with!

I forgot just how chonky my Razor was until I tried out this red dot

Twinkified the super duty

The Velos LBP has been great, I’m glad I went with it as my first rifle can.

Pretty much zero added gas to the face/out the ejection port compared to unsuppressed, just as solid as any of the legacy heavy duty suppressors I’ve tried, and sounds pretty great on my 16” AR.

I appreciated that Capitol Armory let me knock a few bucks off and order it without the ASR on it because I immediately threw on Comstock’s Charlie adapter, too.

I’m sure phone vids are mostly useless, but here’s my Velos LBP on a 16” AR.

I’m having a hell of a time choosing a can for my .44 Magnum lever gun.

Everything I’m reading into seems to base recommendations mostly on .44 Special performance, but I paid for the whole Magnum so I’m gonna use the whole Magnum 99% of the time.

Should I just go with what works great on .45-70 supers and hope for the best? Seems to be much more data/info out there on that application compared to .44 Mag.

Just picked up my first lever gun. Marlin 1894 SBL in .44 Mag. Now I need to get a .44 wheelgun to match.

Just a little update on Mac, he’s not quite as chatty these days but he’s in good health and his fur is almost fully regrown.

A non-K length steel can on the end of a 16” barrel isn’t anywhere near as unwieldy as I was led to believe

Having a .22 upper for my rifle has been great, except for level of filth it’s leaving in my fire control group. I’m thinking it’s gonna sprout into a second rifle soon.

First time out with the Velos LBP was a 95% success

It’s my first and only rifle can so far, so I’m biased, but I think it’s sweet. Sent two shots without ear pro just to get a feel for it and it wasn’t bad at all. Not “safe” but tolerable. As a bystander it sounded about the same.

The 5% that wasn’t a success -

1.) Using the wrong buffer weight, I went from a URGI to a 16” Super Duty upper and didn’t change out my light buffer weight. Had a bit more gas coming back than I expected with a low back pressure can.

2.) Forgetting some kind of suppressor pouch or cover. Thankfully I was camping and had my trusty 600° potholder and a ranger band.
