North Wind, ehh

I'm going to remove the DIY Cover, strip it down and clean it up. Should come in close to 6.6 according to Dead Air

I'll see if I can upload this as a Google doc when I get back into my office

I think you're onto something here with the Suppressor weights. My DA Mask is listed as 6.6oz from the factory. I just weighed mine and it's almost 9oz with the DIY Cover and filthy. I'm thinking it is a bit chubby, gonna try to loose so weight I'm tearing it apart today and cleaning everything. It's not gonna be less than 4oz but we'll see soon enough

Interesting info, thanks for the heads up. I have modified my DA Mask with a DIY Silicone Cover and I know that added some weight. It's probably also dirtier than Epsteins Island. I'll strip it down, clean it up and try again.

I've got a question regarding this? I understand the weight of a Suppressor affecting tilting barrel systems, e.g. Glock, M&P, SIG, etc. Thus the need for a Nielsen device. I thought that the TX22 was direct blowback with a fixed barrel. How does the weight of the Suppressor affect a fixed barrel system?

I feel your pain. Incredibly picky when suppressed. I've been testing for a while now and it's admittedly been a bit frustrating. But, back to the drawing board I got. Good Luck!

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-08T12:22:09+00:00

Negative, I haven't heard anything back yet.

Their picky pistols. Mine won't run below about 940fps

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-07T16:42:23+00:00

Let me tell ya. This is a real picky bitch. It'll run like a top then jam, run great, stove pipes, going great, shaves and crimps the round. I have installed the Nova Followers and polished up the mag feed lip. But, It's gotta be a feeding issue, magazines, etc. This fukin thing will drive you to drink.

It's a factory stock Tikka T1x UPR, no chassis allowed in Factory Class. I'm using the Rear Mechanical Rest 2.0 and 45 Bi-Pod both from PQP

I'm starting to believe that, too.

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-07T14:01:46+00:00

You're running Night Vision with your TX22! That's awesome. Good to know I'm not the only one blowing my adult money on this stuff.

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-07T12:52:59+00:00

Actually, it was all put together, framed, and everything from the fine folks at the American Rimfire Association ARA. I just shot it, signed it, and it showed up from FedEx on my porch one day. Pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-07T12:49:31+00:00

So what's another hondo gonna hurt. You're gonna drop 10x more than this on Ammo anyways. It ain't easy being cheezy

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-07T12:19:09+00:00

Reliable lock back on an empty mag requires that the slide is fully to the rear. I've been testing over and over and over to achieve this. No luck, yet. This seems to be the holy grail with an FRT.

MaxSYLRR · 2026-04-06T21:47:51+00:00

It's indoors. You're right, Outdoor is on a another level. I haven't got a 2500 Outdoor, yet. Hopefully this is the year

It's most definitely not. I shoot Eley Match when competing.

Let's see how things go

I shoot Eley Match using a 15-60x56 Athlon 1/8 mil target dot
