Built my 10mm PCC only to find it has a FTF.  It has been to a gunsmith and he determined that there was too big of a gap to jump from when the bolt carrier picks up the cartridge from the magazine and delivers it into the throat of the barrel.  The cartridges get part way in then jam. He could get it to shoot with round nose FMJ bullets but no hollow points. Recommended a different bolt carrier.  Does this sound correct? Aren't  all bolt carriers for this 10mm the same?  Thanks in advance!

What receiver did you use?

Mine is built on a QC10 lower and after installing a heavy buffer from Clint at heavy buffers it runs flawlessly.

The only time you would need a warranty on a pistol cal suppressor is if:

1.  You cross thread it onto the barrel and damage it yourself due to incompetence or

2.  The suppressor is misaligned and you have a baffle strike or endcap strike (see #1). 

This is why I suggest purchasing guide rods for every caliber that you shoot through it.  Especially, or at least, when mounted on a new gun the first time because it can save a lot of grief to make sure the barrel is threaded properly to the bore.  If you can do that and ensure that it's straight and no contact with the guide rod (or too near of contact) you'll never need a warranty.  Or, unless you have a squib round or something grossly underpowered causing tumbling almost immediately out of the barrel.

You can buy guide rods from many gun stores but they are expensive.  However, you can also buy precision ground guide rods from mcmaster carr that are 3 feet long and long enough to make two out of for under $10 each the last time I bought some were under $7 but with everything else, I'm sure it's more now. I haven't bought any in a while  But that's still better than $50+ at most places that sell them online.

Unless you just abuse it and literally try to melt it down in a destructive test, you'll never need the warranty.  I have suppressors that are essentially 2 decades old with untold amount of rounds through them in varying calibers and even full auto and it's still got more life left in it than I do.  It will outlast me and my grandchildren.

You can see from the bore camera picture below that there is a little erosion around the mouth of the bore on the baffles of my oldest suppressor, but is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.  This suppressor has fired 22, 9mm, 38, 357, 10mm, 6.8spc, 223, 7.62x39, 300blk, 9x39 and probably others that I'm not thinking of at the moment.  Seriously, you should never need a warranty unless you do something stupid.  There are no moving parts.  Metal is thick enough to last several lifetimes of normal use.  Especially in pistol calibers and subsonic don't see the heat and erosion that rifle calibers go through.  Just my 2 cents worth

Excellent post and spot on.

Ken Dead Air isn?t going anywhere. SC and Banish [emoji2369].

Get the Dead Air can. You won?t regret it.

I was talking to a gentleman at Silencer Central and he recommended the Banish 45. He said  they are easily as nice as the dead air cans, but have a better lifetime warranty, and it?s accessories are much more reasonable

Well of course he would say that.

I don?t own any AR pistols so none of this applies to me, but if it did the last thing I would do is talk about it on the internet.

IMO there is some vary nefarious language in there designed to entrap Americans that own previously legal firearms. By willfully filing for a ?free? stamp there is a real possibility that you could be incriminating yourself. Also there is language in there regarding imports and how they are now considered illegal under US 922.

Do what you feel is best for your situation but my advice is to keep it to yourself and don?t discuss it openly on the internet.

Since the rule hasn?t been published to the register yet, my understand is it can still be amended. You can be assured that forums like this are being monitored.

I?m surprised you got anyone to answer the phone.

I had no luck getting anyone to answer the phone.

460 Rowland was made to compete with the 44Mag I think that is a fair comparison.

I understand but how does the 45 Super compare, velocity wise?

I have a 460 Rowland Dino know what it will do. I know nothing about the 45 Super.

I have a question for those who know more than me. my last few batches of brass came out shiny brown instead of shiny yellow! they are the same color as the steel cased Brown Bear Russian lacquer coated ammo. I use Dawn and Lemishine in my tumbling water same as before the color change. the last batch I dumped a bunch more Lemishine in to see if that would brighten them up and they still look brown. the stainless steel pins still look shiny silver and the tumbler looks clean. what could cause this?

Too much Lemishine. How much are/were you putting in it?

BE-86 gives some great velocities but it will pressure quickly if you aren?t careful.

But I have a load for my 9x25 Dillon with BE-86 & 135 Gold Dots pushing 1600fps in a G29 with a 4? extended Bar Sto barrel.

With Mark no longer taking work, where would you suggest? I have a 610, spare cylinder. Want an action job, second cylinder fitted and reamed

Where did you hear Mark isn?t taking any more work?

Read ALL of the contract before signing up for any of these. Most of them have clauses that will leave you high and dry.

KKM isn?t the only one that makes extended barrels for the G29.
