    Silencers

    You mentioned Marlin M60, there is no easy way to put a silencer on it as it has a tubular magazine that loads from the front. A typical silencer would have to be unscrewed for loading it.

    Short Suppressors

    Yes, there are such systems, the best-known being the Sterling SMG. I have seen one in action in an indoor range and it was very quiet, bolt movement being louder than the shots. A normal barrel can be machined thinner and threaded, so that a sleeve will fit over it. The barrel is ported and...

    Aluminium Bullets?

    AFAIK there hasn't been a mass-produced aluminium bullet, reason being that at any reasonable velocity it will leave massive fouling into the barrel. Lapua used to make an aluminium-core 7.62 bullet, it weighed about the same as a regular .223 bullet and gave high velocity out of an AK, but drop...

    Marlin/Glenfield Model 60 help.

    Good to hear that it works now. As you may already know, the extractor is necessary only for removal of an unfired cartridge, if you can accomplish that then theres no need to fix it. During firing cycle, the case will come out by pressure, not by extractor. You might try filing the hook into...

    Marlin/Glenfield Model 60 help.

    Hello, your rifle is incorrectly assembled. You need to have the other end of cartridge lifter spring on the narrow groove on top of the aluminum housing, not inside it as in pic 4 from inside. Case rim will hit the spring tip when bolt is retracting, and it will eject from extractor claws. If...

    Gun Laws in Europe

    Mark, they vary widely and I don´t know about all European countries. Some countries allow more than others but basically all guns are registered (with the exception of single-shot shotguns that are still quite freely available in some countries). The UK situation you probably know. Finland...
