FBI Going to 9MM== http://loadoutroom.com/12077/fbi-going-9mm-comes-science/

 

Lots of gun forums out there and most have free classified sections. That's what I do.

Also, ignore low ballers because you'll get tons. I don't even reply. They likely don't even know what you're selling but think they can trade up, sell it and make a profit. These people exist in every segment. When I get people asking me if I will trade with them I tell them I prefer cash and their trade offer has to be enough over my cash price to make it worth my time. Most don't reply. It amazes me how many people think that they can trade you their junk for LESS than your cash asking price. Fuck no! If you want to trade me you better make it an offer I can't refuse because I'd rather just sit on my cash price and wait for a cash buyer of my known item than get your unknown junk. I think lots of people are hoping to prey on desperate people too and I'm sure there out there even if it's a low percentage. I wouldn't think that the percentage of desperate people in this segment where you pretty much burn money would be worth their time but obviously someone had success at one time or they wouldn't keep trying.

 

It always makes me laugh (on any for sale item) when people ask me what the lowest is that I will take for something priced at $$$. guess they don't understand the concept of make an offer and if I like it I'll agree, otherwise, I want what I listed it at.

 

If that's the case then you need to be prepared to either sit on it for a while, take less than you want or possibly even both. I get you don't want to part but there's no magic solution to get everything you want in this solution unfortunately.

 

+100. A suppressor should not effect the velocity at all. If it does you need to talk to the manufacturer. Also, don't buy into the old school belief that a .30 caliber suppressor won't be effective on a sub-caliber, i.e. - 7mm, 6.5mm or even 6mm. My .243 has the most noise reduction of all my rifles when shooting through my .30 caliber suppressor.

The green rifle is 6.5mmX47L, Bartlien 8.5" twist barrel, Leupy Mark4 4.5-14X.

The desert sand rifle is .260AI, Bartlien 8" twist barrel, Leupy VX3-LR 6.5-20X.

Suppressors do affect velocity, but it's not worth arguing technical details when it's nothing you'd ever notice in a shooting scenario. I understand why some people say they don't. Without a chronograph and a large set of data points, you would never really notice.

 

i wouldnt mind having your revolver but funds are lacking lol

 

No, they don't. In all my years of practical long range competitive shooting I've never seen anything consistent and substantial registered on numerous Oehler 35P chronographs in wildly varying conditions. I should add that I shoot regularly with Shane, Zak & Ray dog of Thunder Beast Arms. I've helped test numerous suppressors on various rifle & barrel configurations with countless rounds of both factory ammo & loads I worked up. I'm not parroting something I heard... I'm talking about years of data tracking that would make most people cross-eyed. If you've got data points that contradict my first-hand experience & testing... by all means... share it. Until someone can produce something to the contrary better than 'nuh uh' I stand behind my findings & experience.

 

yeah but i dont like selling anything LOL

 

He'll get you on a nice, low interest lay-away plan.

 

I definitely believe you when you say you havent observed it. Sounds like you're shooting a lot of rifle cans. I would imagine a rifle would have the least tendency to exhibit faster speeds. A relatively short barreled pistol shooting a flat base bullet out of a long can with tight baffles would show the most increase. It's just physics - higher pressures & higher temps inside the can will affect bullet speed. I'm surprised Thunderbeast doesn't agree. Silencerco definitely does. But I'm not super interested in an extended argument about physics so feel free to have the last word.

 

I hate selling guns online. I had my 1911 for sale and people would offer glocks with a "modified trigger" (3.5 connector and polished ) thinking it's the same value as 700... Actually for some odd reason here (so. Cal) everyone thinks glocks are worth a lot. Same with low end rifles. A guy at Walmart offered me his m&p15 sport with a rail and sight mark rds for 1000, he was naming off things like he was a bad ass. I told him he's dreaming and all that won't equal the value of my upper, home boy got all butt hurt.
