SilencerCo is coming out with an adaptable .22 LR suppressor wherein a user can change the configuration of the tube to either match a handgun or a rifle at a hearing safe level but also coming in a very small package so as to not take too much space at the end of a muzzle.

Andrew Quant of Atwell Tactical modified a SilencerCo Maxim 9 to be full auto. I am interested to see what was done and how the sear was made. It would be cool if it was a switchable selector like a G18 or those Glock full auto sears with a button in the back so [Read More…]

Cesar B. posted this photo of a range rental Maxim 9. He is not sure how this happened but there was a baffle strike on the end cap of the Maxim 9. Even if the screws were loose could the end cap shift enough to get in the path of a bullet? Well somehow this […] [Read More…]
I consider my SilencerCo Saker 762 to be an ‘end-of-the-world’ rifle silencer. It is simply a beast, capable of eating high pressure rounds on short barrels. And if need be, the Saker can pull double duty as a blunt force weapon, hammer or a jack stand. However, it [Read More…]

The H&R Handi Rifle is one of those guns that we all kind of looked over for years, that is until AAC teamed up with them to put out the AAC .300 Blackout H&R Handi Rifle. The single shot rifle used to be in just about every gun shop in America until H&R closed. Patrick […] [Read More…]

Mad Pig Customs cerakoted this Maxim9 for Capitol Armory. As you can see it has a P-51B from the 51st fighter group theme. My only critique is that it looks like the mouth design won’t work if the owner of this Maxim9 wants to remove the baffle and make the Maxim9 [Read More…]
Remember when Sig Sauer tried to market the MPX Carbine with a short barrel but fixed muzzle brake? Yeah that didn’t fly with the ATF. Well I accidentally made my own. I was at the range comparing my Osprey 45 uppressed MPX against my friend Ian’s [Read More…]
