It would have to be for financial reasons, once I've let the gun go it is unlikely I'll want it back otherwise.

Yep, in the cases I have seen, you cannot even see where the bullet has touched the baffle. Even in circumstances where you can take the can apart and scrub each individual baffle. That has been the case even with aluminium baffles. There was one incident at the range where a can had been...

You have baffle strikes, is my guess. If it was me I would check that the suppressor "shoulders" cleanly to your barrel. That means no dirt in the threads of the suppressor, and it needs to tighten up snug to your barrel with no slop. Stuff I have seen happen at the range where I shoot: 1) Slop...

If that was me I would test it in ballistic gel: 1. Find a cartridge with a bullet that has a loose steel insert 2. Draw a line from the tip of the insert to the cannellure with a Sharpie 3. Carefully single-load that cartridge into the chamber of the gun 4. Fire in gel and retrieve the bullet...

That is probably the best course of action. I hope you guys don't mind if I reach across the Atlantic with my fat stubby finger and hit the lock button now.

Peace to you, Fred, I hope you meet up with the original White Rabbit for a drink.

That is a fine job!

I thought I would provide an update: after many thousands of rounds, this buffer is going strong! This is the buffer from the other R55, installed at the same time. All that has happened is a colour change to a deep amber:

Sorry to hear this!

Just checking in to see whether my initial assumption about that being a threaded barrel turned out true!

I had a problem, deciding how to store 10 of those Ruger BX25 magazine. I went online and found a fabric shop that sells materials to reupholster high-wear seats. They list the fabric by the number of "rubs" it takes to wear through. I settled on a 40k rub, fire retardant, black faux suede...
