    Harvester EVO Suppressor

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. They discontinued the EVO which is a shame, but this place has them for a steal of a price on closeout. If you want a light and cheap hunting Can this is a great deal. https://freedom-weapons.com/silencerco-harvester-evo-300-30-caliber-7-62mm/ I already have 2, one for each of my son's hunting rifles. I had wanted 1 for myself, but resisted til I saw this deal. Hope this may help someone jump into suppressors or get a good deal on another. Harley

    Brake/Suppressor Thread's

    I am newer to the suppressor game, but no I don't. My cans are all steel along with my barrel threads though. I also don't leave them on my rifles. If I did I might use some antiseize. You don't want them loosening up though so I would be cautious about what you used. Loose suppressor = baffle strike potential.

    It won't reduce recoil as much a most brakes, but it does reduce recoil. Your point of impact with and without the brake will likely shift. So you will have to adjust your scope zero. You MAY have to tweak your load a little if accuracy changes, but not always. My 300 wim mag is more accurate with the can vs. The brake. You can shoot subs or supersonic thru the can as long as they are 30 cal or less in diameter. I shoot some subs thru a 7.62x39 AR that are pretty quite with the can on. You can avoid the supersonic Crack with bullets above about 1050fps, but it muffles the sound alot and changes the tone quite abit.

    If your barrel is threaded you can just directly thread it on your muzzle. The EVO comes with both a 5/8"×24 and 1/2×28 adapter. If you wanted to do a quick mount like ASR or Keymo that would require more parts and pieces for your rifle and the suppressor. I have 1 suppressor with Keymo quick mount, but that is mainly for AR15 type platforms. On my bolt action rifles I just use direct thread to the barrel.

    The barrel length restrictions are there because if the barrelnis to short to burn all the powder the suppressor becomes part of a blast chamber with burning powder and it is not rated for pressure like that and the abuse. I have shot my EVO on my 300 win mag with 24" barrel with no problem.

    9.3x62 Anyone Shoot It?

    I am probably going to build one or buy one if I can find one for a reasonable price. Does anyone shoot it? What is your experience with loading it or shooting it? I had toyed with the idea of buying one when CZ still had the 550 in it, but they discontinued it so I kind of let it go. Now I am thinking about getting back on the train and getting one. My older son is 11 and has a hunting video game he likes and they have several rifles in 9.3x62 so he was curious about it and it reignited my intent to get 1. I am looking at either having Shaw or Preferred build a Savage prefit for it, or if I can find a rifle in it for reasonable money I might go that way. My am I broken and like these odd ball rounds. Why can I just like 30.06 😪🤣

    9.3x62 Anyone Shoot It?

    Since it is realistically a 300 yard gun, 1 MOA is plenty.

    9.3x62 Anyone Shoot It?

    Let me know how it shoots. I am hoping my barrel shows up from Shaw soon. I am looking for stocks and if this lines up right maybe I will have it done in time for bear season and elk season.

    I have a pretty old one. The side button is where the selection on mine is done. The hammer doesn't have anything to do with barrel selection on mine.

    P.S. if you have not listened to the Vortex Nation Podcast with silencershop.com recently please do. It was enlightening to the fact that I messed up and didn't use their single shot trusts to register my suppressors. I did individual and now I believe that I will have to add them into a trust together which will cost me another $200 each...

    9.3x62 Anyone Shoot It?

    Beautiful. How is the recoil? I am debating if i want to try and use a light stock or something a little heavier to soak up some recoil.
  15. Hi All, I have an older 110FP 300 win mag that I am planning to covert to 9.3x62. Basically I need to make it work as a 3006. Has anyone done this conversion and help me figure out what I need beside the bolt head? I am seeing that I may have a large hole bolt face and magnum length firing pin, but PTG shows their bolt faces use small firing pin. Do I need a new firing pin too? Thanks Harley

    AR 10 cycling issues

    Won't cycle could be different things. What exactly is it doing?

    Suppressed shooting

    What cans, and do your ARs have adjustable gas blocks? If so you can adjust them so you get them less gassy. They do get dirtier with a can, but it is still worth it. I use brake cleaner first to flush a bunch of the crud. Then I get it wet with a spray CLP and use a brass brush to break up alot of the remaining gunk. It isn't to bad to clean them once tou do it a few times as long as you are not one of the people who is crazy about it and wants it super clean. Also, don't use brake cleaner on plastic parts, it can melt them. The upper receiver and bolt are what I use the brake cleaner on mostly.

    Application Strategy… Mistake?

    Last year then 10 non-res drew in the bonus. Last year was also the year after one of the best winters ever and anyone with points probably cashed them in. If there were 200 tags the first 40 should have been bonus point tags regardless of res/non-res status. Only 10 can go non-res, max.

    Application Strategy… Mistake?

    You drew in the bonus pass. 40 tags are in the bonus. Up to 10% could be non-res. It doesn't mean 10% have to be non-res. For me choice 1 is always a long shot. Choice 2 is what I actually want, assuming I don't have enough points to draw either tag in the bonus pass. The problem with that though is if Choice 1 is above your point level, but Choice 2 you have enough bonus points for, you will always draw Choice 2. For a chance to hit a long shot for Choice 1, both choices need to be outside of the bonus pass 1-2 points. If either tag in Choice 1 or 2 is a guaranteed draw you will always draw that tag. This year I had 4 points. Choice 1 was approx a 13 point draw. Choice 2 was approx 5-6 points. We drew the 2nd choice in the lottery draw. If you draw in the lottery draw after the bonus, when your app gets pulled they look at Choice 1. If Choice 1 has tags left, you get them. If not they look at choice 2. If you they have choice 2 tags left you get them. If not they put you back in the 3-5 draw which basically means you won't get a tag unless choice 3-5 has a really easy to draw option like a limited opportunity type tag.
  20. Check Healys. They had some 410 the other day. I belive I have some lead #4 if you can find any let me know.

    Looks like myself and 2 friends are elk hunting. Not sure if bull or cow. I would have preferred that my son had drawn the youth tag, but whatever. I will probably sign over my tag to him.

    Deadly Gila Monster Bite?

    I have only seen 1 in the wild probably 20 years ago out off table mesa road in the river bottom. It was pink and black and it was pretty awesome to see.
