Episode 218 - FOR Systems Monarch 7.62 Intro and KAC PRT System Program Update (03-JUL-2024)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.155 – The FOR Systems Monarch 7.62 on .308 bolt-action. Boy howdy…. DMLS continues to be interesting. Inconel? Yes. Low(er) backpressure? Yes. Performance? Apparently so! Let’s check out this very interesting silencer in this introductory discussion to the article published today! (00:08:14)

  2. Knee deep in the corn? Quite literally. KAC everywhere… and it’s not normal. We have been testing the daylights out of these PRT silencers and it’s been…… interesting. Just about every combination has been examined. The enthusiasts will certainly benefit! This is PEW Science funded internal research. (00:24:06)

Episode 190 - SilencerCo Velos LBP Test, KAC 556 QDC-CRS/PRT, QDC/MCQ-PRT, Mod 2 Upper (06-DEC-2023)

Today’s Topics:

  1. Sound Signature Review 6.134 – SilencerCo Velos LBP on the 5.56 MK18. This is the technical discussion for this long-awaited white paper, published last week! Again, big thanks to PEW Science members for making research like this possible. (00:08:53)

  2. Sometimes it takes a village – KAC silencer system testing is in the works, with contributions from several folks! KAC 556 QDC-CRS/PRT, 556 QDC/MCQ-PRT, and in addition to MK18 and M4A1 midlength 14.5, maybe we do SR-15 Carbine MOD 2 14.5 and SR-15 CQB MOD 2 uppers for members. Oh, and MAMS and 3-Prong. Thanks to several PEW Science Members for making something like this possible. (00:59:51)

Podcast Erratum:

We have been informed, by the PEW Science member who loaned us the Velos, that it does not, in fact, also come with the direct thread mount. They had included both mounts in the box in case we wanted to test it with both. We chose the direct thread mount for testing based on the logic of having used the same type of mount with the Saker 556 previously, along with some gas dynamics factors, as discussed on the podcast. Sorry folks - didn't realize the direct thread mount was not included!
