I didnt know what was going on. I did like "I dont want you walking here" and "this is public property!" As a gotcha
Yea, done a few.

Make sure you have lots of vertical run in the pipe and all of it at least as big as the stoves pipe jack.
Cant pay some kid $20 a month to weedeat it?

I have a colleague leaving soon, which means more work for the rest of us. What I don't understand is, until they onboard her replacement, why the rest of us aren't receiving our share of what she would have been at the time as compensation for the extra workload that we're taking on.

That money isn't being given to her anymore, why is it not going to us when we're absorbing her work? And I ask that genuinely, it doesn't make sense.

You want to be happy for a colleague leaving, but in the back of your mind, you think, "Oh shoot, I'm screwed."


And here you are assuming they are actually going to backfill the position. If yall can float it without her, why hire another person?

Irresponsible people


I oughta be able to leave a glock 17 sitting on a curb in north baton rouge and come back the next day and find it exactly where I left it or at the most, brought inside by a kind person to keep it out the weather.

Theft is not treated nearly as severely as it should be. It's a heinous crime.
And just how exactly do they plan to get a 120,000 ton machine into orbit in the first place? They gonna assemble it up there?
I ended up ordering a defender with a screen protector because I had to do something
At my house where I know exactly where the lines are its about +/- 10 feet.

Really really really good IMO. Not legal dispute good, but plenty good enough for "can I hunt here or not"
That parts easy.

Mod 0 if you strictly want the best shooter
Mod H if you want to compromise some shootability for more modern.

Regardless, PRI is the way to go. They all come with the brake and collar and you know it'll be correct. I'm not into cloning and I only care about landing bullets on target. Mine is cobbled together with the wrong forend so it's more like MK12 inspired than a real mk 12. Favorite rifle I've ever had and I will absolutely have a real PRI Mod H upper at some point in my life. It's so much more of a pleasant shooting experience than any other AR I've ever used. So accurate and soft shooting. The guy from 9 hole doing a speed run DMR course clear with a mod 0 is amazing to watch. He did it without the suppressor due to mirage but it's a good show of what the Mk12 was really intended to do. I'm surprised it's not more popular with the pig hunters.



And, those AEM5's and OCM5's sound AMAZING relative to every other 5.56 suppressor I've heard (admittedly not very many of them).

ETA: I just watched that again. He made 2x hits from 150 to 300 yards, without even blinking one single time. He only missed once on the entire course, at 720 yards, because of a wind gust.

Now, tell me you don't have an itch for a mk12???? You aint shooting that with your pappy's old model 70.

People almost always start with this concept, but almost always end up buying multiple cans.


I was advised by my suppressor nerd friend to skip the universal idea and just get a dedicated can for my favorite rifle and go from there. That's what everyone ends up doing anyway, according to him.
Well you clearly havent been paying attention. Of course a simple question about changing bullet weights would result in a physics 2001 refresher.

To answer the OP, you need to shoot it to verify. Might be exact same zero or close enough. Some rifles shoot basically everything to same point of impact. Some are ultra picky and wont put two different loads in the same zip code. You need to check it and see.

there any logic to getting 1 top notch can for use across 30 cal, 5.56, .270, 6.5? I have all of those rifles.


Yes. Itll be a lot cheaper than buying 4 dedicated cans. A .30 cal can will usually work ok on the 5.56 and pretty well on the 270 and 6.5.

I wouldnt worry about the backpressure thing. I think its a grossly overblown concern. A VERY overgassed AR can generally be tamed down with a buffer swap.

You can get one of the erector set cans with swapable end caps and all that shite but I personally would prefer a good single sealed .308 can like a AB raptor 8 or TBAC or something else along those lines, depending on what your wants are (size, weight, durability, etc).

Of course, try before you buy is preferable but not usually an option.

How's the noise on those low backpressure jobs? Ive never shot one.
