2.9 of 3N37? Any issues with case volume? That is one of the powders/loads I am experimenting with.

[msw]

Not so far. This is what I use for my SBR & pistol--NOT a full legnth 16" barrel--you might get a round stuck!

All legal statements about this load being used in my firearms, etc. apply.

[Rapier1772]

Great, thanks. I don't use any of my reloads in the PS90 as yet. Just the FsN.

Guess I will start dialing it down then. I am at 3.4gr now & using different bullet weights. This powders has proven to have more consistent speed & groups. I like but still get the occasional keyhole

I have an Osprey .45 suppressor that I purchased and have been waiting for as I jump through the NFA hoops.

My question is: As this can is rated for use with the 9mm through .45, do I have to go through the whole process if I want another baffle, so it is interchangable for different calibers or even different guns (i.e. going from my USP Tactical to FNP 45 T)?

My guess is yes, as this is considered a suppressor part, but is it the same waiting period or can I pay the $200 tax and be done with it?

If you want to put it on a 9mm, you will need a different booster since they are different threads. But no you dont need to go through the stamps and paper work again.

[cHaMeLeoN352]

I was looking through the Silencerco website and I did not see anything about buying different boosters. Maybe there is some adapter I am unaware of.

They do sell different pistons, which adapt to different calibers, but this would qualify as a suppressor part and additional tax stamp in my understanding of NFA laws.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

[srt-4_jon]

Piston and booster are the same thing. Again, when you buy another piston, you don't need another stamp or do the paperwork again

got my replaced quietor ammo, shot it through the ps90 with the Silencerco Sparrow 22: the rating is still at 2, closer to 3. It's like shooting a 22 lr, easy on the ears, also fine for shooting standard non-subsonic ammo through without ear protection.

Bottom line, this can doesn't get you that total suppression that everyone craves, but it is the perfect can to have for the shooting range, don't have to bother with ear protection (nice thing if you plan on using it for home defense), easily disassembled for cleaning. I have designed a locking quick connector for this can, it is still waiting to be machined, will share pics when that is done.

Has anyone tried or heard anything about this DeGroat Tactical "NANO" suppressor? I'm looking for a can for my FsN and all I seem to hear is negatives about everything out there. I sent a message to David at Liberty Suppressors to see if they had any plans for making a can, and Stu called me back the next business day. Seems they have a huge back log just trying to keep up with existing orders, and until they get caught up, they wont be doing any special projects. So if anyone out there has heard anything about this little suppressor, let us know!!
Thanks!

I have the AAC M4 2000. Has anyone used it or knows someone? It is great on my AR's but have not got home to try it!

yarly I like it.

[bud1959]

Works well on your PS?

[blueorison]

Apologies, wasn't clear on what was being asked.

I do not own either, have used the AAC on an AR carbine and seen it used on a AR57. It is hearing safe on the AR57, for me, from a distance of 10 feet. And I have very sensitive ears. Have not used it on a PS90.

Pretty sure Spacecoyote has both; you might want to PM him. Though I don't think his PS90SBR uses it.

I'm awaiting a mount to put my Spectre on my ps90 and an EA threaded barrel for my fsn.

[WolfRulz]

Has any one tried the YHM Phantom Ti on a 5.7 SBR??? Works great on my .223 - 16" (subsonic Ammo) - Just wondering.

Yes. Look at this video:

[WolfRulz]

My test results - on the YHM Phantom Ti on an AR57 SBR is a rating of 4 (firing SS197). I have basicaly the same setup as jgreenberg01 (nice video - thanks).
It does make a distinctive 'swishing-ping' sound - I think that's the bullet breaking the sound barrier just as it exits and it's quickly followed by the 'SLAP' of the bullet hitting the backstop. I noticed that the Phantom gets hot - REAL HOT after running 50 rounds thru it - I use a silicon pot holder (a dimpled square, good grip and fits nicely in my range bag) to remove it and it does take a while to cool down enough to put it in it's storage bag :laugh:
I'm now reloading my own 40gr Vmax successfully so I'm ready to try creating some subsonics.

I don't know if anyone saw this yet:

Silencerco's new saker 5.56 suppressor



I own the Osprey 45 suppressor for my USP tactical, which is top notch, so I will be picking up one of these.

I am actually in the market for a 7.62 can that doubles as my 5.56, but I expect the 7.62 at next years SHOT show. If they released the 7.62 first, no one would buy the 5.56.

I like how both ends of the can are adaptable and the flash hider eliminates resonance.

[garzaro]

Guys, yes I am new and thus asking stupid questions you pros have heard a hundred times! Thanks ahead of time
I won a Sparrow22 with the $200 for the tax stamp! I will be submitting the proper paperwork and of course the dealer will hold my suppressor until then...

guys i need to find out how to put this can on my soon to pick up five seven pistol :cya: :cya: posting.php?mode=reply&f=17&t=8215#
1) do in need to buy drop in barrel and get it modded
2) should I get my original barrel modded
3) who should do the work and avg cost?
4) will the Sparrow below with 1/2 x28 threads go on without additional adapter

PS: I own the ruger tactical 10/22 which comes threaded from factory and ruger charger 10/22, fun and cheap plinkers for my boys and I
PLUS my fav, PS90, which I hope to officially (batfe paperwork)convert to shortened/threaded barrel at a later time.

Engage o-ring
Our innovative Sparrow O-ring engagement offers the additional advantage of keeping the muzzle threads of the host weapon clean and the suppressor is held secure with an o-ring placed inside the female threads to which the host weapon would thread. Silencerco offers custom adapters for the Walther P-22, The Sig Mosquito, the GSG 1911/22 to take advantage of the o-ring engagement. Note: The 22Sparrow will thread on any standard .5×28 threads and any other silencer threaded in .5×28 will thread on our adapters. Minimum overall thread and o-ring engagement is .476".
The 22Sparrow is the first silencer in the world to offer the patent pending Multi Part Containment (MPC) technology, which allows the 22Sparrow to be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance after heavy use.

you dont need to hurry and get a barrel. the stamp wont be approved for at least 6 months. some people choose to get a new barrel, others choose to get their stock barrel threaded. along with the threading, you will need a custom adaptor to convert it from 10x1m to silencerco's 1/2x28 o ring threads.
