After two years of hemming and hawing over a silencer design, waiting 11 months for ATF approval and another year of waffling over baffle design, I finally built and tested another 50 caliber rifle silencer. This one is for an LAR Grizzly 50 BMG...
Over the years MN gun owners have been very reluctant to ask their legislators to sponsor a silencer bill. Why this is I have no idea, but it is obvious to anyone who reads various gun forums. The aggression against silencer ownership in MN is only outweighed by the apathy.
Fortunately a...
If I-594 passes it will require background checks on all gun sales and transfers in WA.

If the owner hands over a firearm while hunting, competing or performing, then it is legal. But informal plinking now becomes illegal unless the firearm is actually owned by them or stored...
I'm looking for a soft case to hold my scoped Remington M700 with a 30" barrel. I already have a large hard case but its too large to fit in my wife's compact car trunk and I want something to protect the rifle when I'm not going to the range in the pickup truck.
I found a few soft cases...
I posted a video on making registered silencers a while back and was asked to produce one that showed more detail on baffle construction.

A friend of mine wants to attach a silencer to his Ruger SR40c but we can't find any extended or threaded barrels for it. Will the .6" longer SR40 barrel fit in the SR40c? We should be able to easily thread it if it does.
Where can I find just the SR40 barrel? Have not been able to find any...
Had some more fun at the rifle range today. It took me eight years to talk my wife into shooting a rifle and she finally allowed me to bring her to the range after silencer use became legal in WA. She started out on a Savage MKII 22lr. Shooting it suppressed with subsonic ammo makes hardly...
Or at least they are according to an article written by Mike "Duke" Venturino in an article published by American Hangunner.

I finally got a camcorder to the range so I could test my suppressed Ruger against my air pistol. While the air pistol had the edge on noise, the Ruger beat the air pistol on power, rate of fire and just plain fun.

I was asked to put together some information on making silencers. This video is for those who have never made a silencer or filled out the tax stamp application before. It covers how to apply for the tax stamp and make parts on a lathe. I also...
I attended a meeting with Senator Pam Wolf on August 19th. We convinced her that the law banning silencer possession should be amended.

Silencer possession in MN is a felony; 5 years/$5000. The DNR is no longer allowed to possess silencers for...
On July 23, 2011 Washington State will be one of the thirty-seven states that allow civilians to own and use sound suppressors on firearms. The Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club will host a silencer shoot on Saturday July 23, from 12 pm to 4 pm. This event will be open to the public free of...
There is a Senate Judiciary hearing for bill 1016 at the O'Brien building on Wednesday at 1:30 pm. It appears that Senate bill 5112 is not going to get out of the Rules committee, so House bill 1016 will resume its normal course out of the House (where it passed 88 to 4) and into the Senate...
One of our friends on the Subguns board says he got a message from Joe Waldron (WA Arms Collectors) saying that the Senate vote will not be the landslide it was in the House. He thinks the vote will be next week. Link to Subguns thread. WA state SB5112 update write your senators!!

I just got off the phone with Representative Pedersen's aide. She says that bill 1016 will get a hearing in committee. This is farther than any silencer bill has gone before; the rest died without a hearing.
The hearing has not been scheduled yet; the session starts on 1/10/2011. The...
The Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club is being sued by Kitsap County and may be shut down due to noise and safety complaints by local residents. http://www.gunsafety.org/ Here is a link to the lawsuit; http://www.kitsapgov.com/pros/krrc.htm
There is a rumor that the lawsuit may be set aside if...
I am trying to convince the Democrats in Olympia to pass bill 1604 and allow silencer use in Washington State. I made a video that might convince some of those kooks that silencers are in fact not illegal to possess in the United States.

I and one of the members on the Northwest Firearms Forum met with Representative Jamie Petersen in Seattle to discuss House bill 1604. WA is the only state that allows silencers, but prohibits their use. This bill would make an exception for those owners who own them legally. I thought it was...
