Silent Steel has launched the Baffle Streamer Gen 2 family, a new generation of its traditional baffle suppressors. A completely redesigned Gen 2 Baffle Module is produced by 3D printing, and additive manufacturing allows internal geometries that conventional manufacturing methods cannot produce....
Suppressors catch more than sound. Every shot sends hot, particulate-laden propellant gas through the can, and carbon, lead residue, and unburned powder settle into the baffles. Left alone, that fouling adds weight and eventually degrades both sound performance and the long-term integrity of the ...
The 3D-printed gunmaking revolution is here and now, with home enthusiasts now able to crank out fully-functioning firearms from their kitchen table. While Glock clones and pistol-caliber carbines are the most common examples you see, you can find 3D printing plans for stuff as diverse as a...
This week I'm joined by Jacob Albaugh and Mike Herne of TENET, the Dayton, Ohio company building direct-thread titanium suppressors, around one question: why should a hunter have to choose between a muzzle brake and a can? Jacob got into the industry by way of a hard-kicking .30-06 and a wel...
San Diego County, represented in part by Giffords, is suing Polymaker over its ties to gun-printing creators. The complaint argues that firearm-oriented marketing makes certain 3D-printer filaments regulated firearm precursor parts—extending California’s gun-control campaign into raw material...
3D printing has now reached production handguns, and up to 30% less muzzle rise is the headline promise behind the P365-MACH3D. This is a micro-compact 9mm that SIG Sauer pitches with the line "Peak Performance. Everyday Carry."
It’s not just new cartridges and high-B.C. bullets that allow us to be more effective rifle shooters The post 6 Shooting Tools That Have Made Us Better Riflemen appeared first on Outdoor Life.
Suppressing a 6.5 Creedmoor comes down to a choice most shooters do not think through before they buy. Historically, 6.5 Creedmoor shooters have reached for a .30 caliber silencer, and most still do, because a .30-caliber can also cover the .308 and other larger-bore rifles in the safe. But a ded...
Demetrio Daga, a 44-year-old Albany resident and father with no prior criminal record, is facing up to 40 years in a New York state penitentiary following his conviction on 15 weapon-related felonies. The charges stem entirely from his possession and home assembly of unserialized firearms and 3D-...
A new suppressor company launching with six models and a $250 rimfire can gets attention on price alone. Polite Society Industries came out of Tampa with a lineup spanning rimfire through .36 caliber, every model printed by laser powder bed fusion as one continuous piece rather than a tube stuffe...
