Title: A couple of suppressed rifles
Post by: Jim the Plumber on January 02, 2014, 09:55:49 AM
Fuzzy and I went looking for coyotes, but got fogged out.
Two Rbos rifles standing by for a break in the weather.
RT hand one is a 260 with a Shark can, LH one is a 6.5X47 Laupa with a Gemtech can.
both built by Travis.

Great looking rifles!  I wish suppressors were a lot easier/cheaper to get.  The difference is extreme when I'm at the range with my RUM with a muzzle brake and my son has his suppressed rifle ................ I'm the one with tinnitus and yet shooting a brake. :bash:

Does anyone know how the laws are changing for using a gun trust?

Jim, the laupa with the Gemtech looks like it has a sleeve on it, is that part of the Gemtech or a cover?

  Not sure on magnums but My Gemtech makes my .223 sound like a .22 magnum my .17 hmr sound like a Gamo pellet rifle and my .22's almost nonexistent. That using my .223 can on the .22 and .17. Waiting on the stamp for my SWR Spectre 2 for my dedicated .22-.17hmr can

That's a T.A.B. Gear cover.
Tony makes a great product.

The Thunderbeast cans make a .338 Lapua shootable without ear plugs, and the recoil is like a .308

Keep coming back and checking these rifles out  :drool:

Do you by chance have a build sheet of the parts used for these rifles?

HuntandJeep, you will love the SWR Spectre II.  I like Silencerco but wish the SWR name, logo, etc didn't go away.  Does anyone know if it is now legal to hunt with a suppressor attached to your rifle in WA now?  It would be nice to be able to use one on varmints as well as everything else.  Less need for hearing protections, less scaring off other peoples game, etc.

Yes, you can legally hunt with suppressed firearms in WA state.
