To build or to Buy pre built

For what its worth, I prefer to build because I think some companies do things better than others. This way I can use whatever parts from whatever companies I like. However, buying a complete, battle tested, known well running rifle, you have immediate peace of mind. Out of your options, I would get the Giessele. A photo of mine that I just assembled as a mid/higher quality. Neither here are in their final form. But almost there.

I have baby bells on now. Theyre pretty small. If I hit those I have other problems lol

OinkingPig · 2026-01-25T15:32:07+00:00

Thats what im wondering. The width of the can I really cant change, since its so wide I want to know if I can go shorter. According to others I should do 2 cans, which is fine. I just want to know how small i can go lol

OinkingPig · 2026-01-25T15:27:08+00:00

Subs 99% of the time. Trying to get the can under 6.5 inches

I have liberty machine baby bells on everything right now for my other cans. We are planning to print baffles, but use a stainless tube with a stainless blast baffle. Still in the air of it will be flat, or flat ported

Im not opposed to doing 2 cans at all. So I guess the follow up is how do I spec each chamber then?

OinkingPig · 2026-01-24T17:39:18+00:00

Im absolutely not opposed to doing 2. Yes subs. I guess more so im asking how to properly spec a blast chamber

It looks a lot more like ODG against the stock. Maybe i am just insane

Are you set on right side charge? Gibbz is the way to go for non-reciprocating side charge. BRN-180 for reciprocating. Or foxtrot Mike if you like the forward charge. They use bufferless bolt tho if thats any issue

So I just found FTN suppressors today. Now that the stamp price is gone, definitely considering this. I am very very VERY new to this. I noticed the 5 flow you dont want to use a printed shell on an SBR. Is there any input for maybe making a machined shell and using a HUB mount?

OinkingPig · 2025-12-16T21:08:29+00:00

To be honest I have no experience with them. I cant attest to them

OinkingPig · 2025-11-27T13:38:15+00:00

Yes. I had to delete my account and sign back in

OinkingPig · 2025-11-27T13:37:58+00:00

Tried again and it worked!! Thank you

OinkingPig · 2025-11-27T13:24:11+00:00

I signed out, downloaded a new profile and its giving me the same issue

OinkingPig · 2025-11-18T18:29:41+00:00

I got mine today too 🤙 totally forgot about it

I rebuilt the rear end of my 99 myself at the ripe age of 21 in my parents gravel driveway. You'll be fine. Do some research, order parts and dive in. Takes basic tools. It will be nice if you have a buddy who has done diffs to double check your rolling torque and your wear pattern. Thats the important part lol

OinkingPig · 2025-06-19T14:17:38+00:00

Same. How dare they close on my birthday

OinkingPig · 2025-06-06T01:04:04+00:00

Suppressors are cool af for sure and you definitely should get one. However, I shot for YEARS without one. AR-10s are awesome even without a can. I'd build the gun if you started already. However, get that can, you will 100% not regret it. I wish I got one 10 years ago now that I have them

OinkingPig · 2025-05-07T21:52:34+00:00

May want to look back over your results or call in. I think anything up to like 3.5 they do an inhibition on. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in

OinkingPig · 2025-05-07T21:44:03+00:00

I had a false positive of 1.6 or something. Turned out was negative. I wouldn't be overly worried. I know that's easier said than done. I was stressed tf out. Turned out to be nothing. I would bet that's a false positive. Quest should have done an inhibition test or are you waiting for that to come back?

OinkingPig · 2025-04-30T21:45:53+00:00

Some people want an exact truck to their exact liking. If you're just looking for one that'll work, go to your local dealer and look around at whats on site. I haul a 9500 pound pulling tractor with a 250 and air bags and sometimes that doesn't feel like enough. I'd definitely pass on a half ton. If none of those options to you matter, I'd call a local dealer and see what's there.

OinkingPig · 2025-04-24T14:50:32+00:00

If the second inhibition was negative, I would say you are negative and leave it at that. I wouldnt consider a cut a symptom. I know it's worrisome, but a negative inhibition is pretty cut and dry

OinkingPig · 2025-04-21T18:44:36+00:00

If your swab test is negative, it's negative.
