This could be affected by the AGC audio circuit on the video camera. <br /><br />What a neat weapon. Totally out of my price range, not even counting collectable tax stamps. <br /><br />Thanks.pdxr13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04663894695994248670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-24541384327164149952011-09-12T10:06:45.576-05:002011-09-12T10:06:45.576-05:00It was interesting to see my gun in the article. ...It was interesting to see my gun in the article. I had it built for me in about 1998. It was not suppressed at that time. I cased it in the Brit style and added the accessories incl the manual, allen wrench, etc. It was a sweet gun but I sold it on G'broker a couple of years ago.<br />boyce42@msn.comGary Boycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-7279745182592033782011-09-12T10:02:26.102-05:002011-09-12T10:02:26.102-05:00Remarkable!

In the 1st video (I watched the others on the DeLisle that were offered) I could hear the little ping of the firing pin spring working. <br /><br />With the knowledge of how the original was crafted, it would appear that an enterprising gunsmith (shadetree or licensed) today could fashion something similar from available parts. Could be REALLY useful in the early days when the oath-breaking loyalist troops were still convinced of their own invincibility. <br /><br />I wonder if a full-barrel-length suppressor would produce a similar effect for an existing bolt gun. Wonder how loud the sonic boom from a round as small as a .223 or even .308 would be. Might be worth experimenting with. As was noted, this would only work with bolt guns. Any semi-auto would be louder due to the mechanism cycling and gasses escaping rearward.<br /><br />Damned interesting idea. Reckon why the spec warriors haven't already tumbled to this trick?Bad Cyborgnoreply@blogger.com
