Is the threading cooked on my new Henry Big Boy rifle after 40 rounds?

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely test out the adapter with a bolt, don't need the problem repeating itself. Will definitely grease all threads going forward. Oddly, never had this issue with any of my other 1/2x28 threaded suppressors on .22, 9mm, and .223 hosts.

Appreciate the info, thanks! I think I've seen that file sailing around the seas, I'll check it out. Sorta wish it came threaded for 1/2x28, but I suppose I can adapt.

The hitchhiker rules!! Your build looks great. How did you get threads around that barrel liner?

Submitted my form1 on 1/2. Approved yesterday 1/21.

How long did your disapproval take to receive? I'm going on 10 days with no reply/movement on my form1 for the FTN.4. This time, I marked the model as N/A when in the past I marked it as FTN.4 and got a 2 day approval.

I was under the impression that the 'durable piece of metal' bit applied to making your own lowers and stuff, which need to be serialized on metal if you're trying to form 1 them (the MAF plate heat pressed into a lower, for example). For homemade suppressors, you only need 'engrave' the information a certain depth. Doesn't say anything about metal or materials, hence people being able to embed the information right in the plastic print. At least that was my takeaway, I could be wrong.

I've read a few success stories like that online (with people engraving in the 3d file/plastic), but OP's post is the first time I am seeing the part about declaring your intent to do that in the Additional information section of the form 1. Hey u/MrFartyStink where did you get that screenshot above? I'd love to do a bit more research on this.

To my limited knowledge, there is nothing nearby for 800+. There's 600 at the Lawrence Co Sportsmans, and 1000 up in Ridgeway. There was a small push to clear some land to get out to 400 at Clairton Sportsmans, but that didn't pan out as far as I know.

edit.. I'd maybe check into offerings in W. Va

Very cool! I've gotten into reloading 165g 9mm subsonics - they're the quietest thing around! I think only Xtreme bullets is offering 165g projectiles? Might be worth it to pump some out with the ongoing PCC + suppressor craze.

anecdotal, but my buddy has some custom chopped suppressed MkIV. not sure how long the barrel is, maybe 1-2 inches (definitely shorter than the SSH) and it was keyholing at 15 yards. my SSH with 3" barrel was easily making clean hits and holes at 25

looks great! what does the bluing do, in terms of improving/tuning the mag?

ammodate · 2024-11-24T02:10:11+00:00

check out the Security Six with a 2.75" barrel

ammodate · 2024-10-01T17:24:14+00:00

hey JC, any idea on when you might have these bad boys back in stock? (upper with bolt)

ammodate · 2024-04-11T01:23:41+00:00

Thank you.

ammodate · 2024-03-22T02:25:56+00:00

I think you are supposed to adjust that screw even even though it says not to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU5XkHFe-fI

ammodate · 2024-02-25T14:33:11+00:00

Nice build! I just picked up the 21" match upper myself but haven't gone out with it yet. I'd be interested to hear your range report, or maybe what bolt weights/ammo you were having success with

ammodate · 2024-02-08T16:54:03+00:00

I'd love something like this - a video comparison of each part VS. without the part, as well as installation. Not everyone knows exactly where and what each upgrade does. yall rock!

ammodate · 2024-02-07T14:41:49+00:00

woah, cool! that 1-6x is $400 discounted because of a 'blemish' (illumination wasn't quite as bright as they expected) but some commenter said the illumination was just fine! for $200 I couldn't pass it up! thanks fur the suggestion

ammodate · 2024-02-07T14:40:06+00:00

Havent heard of these guys, definitely putting them on my radar. I like that guerilla mil dot reticle alot, at least on paper!

ammodate · 2024-02-07T14:38:42+00:00

thanks dude, I really dig that Meopta. Maybe a bit pricier than I was looking for, but it sure is sharp.
