      I called Curtis Tactical but as you probably know he is in the hospital so i went to GSL Technologies and they are building me a Sten mk2 suppresed barrel. He is in the hospital also but the workers are still going at it. My question is i want the canvas hand guard wrap for suppressor. Can't find one not even material to make one. Any input?

      The weapon model is escaping me right now, but there was a tactical pistol produced for the military (there could still be pistols with this feature in production idk) I believe it was from H&K, but it had a locking slide on it. So if you were in a sneaky situation you just locked the slide and had to rack it for every shot. It allows you to fire a round from a suppressed weapon and eliminate the sound of the action too. Then you just either slowly rack it so it's quiet, or move to a new position and rack it on the move. Either way it is far more quiet to run the action manually by a long shot lol

    I got to shoot a suppressed grease when I was in the Philippines. The Phils still use the ones we left there after WWII. I don't know if the suppressor was OEM or made after the war but it was but it was the old school style using a fenestrated tube with wire mesh wrapped around it. It was cool, but nowhere near as quiet or slick as the one you have here. Amazing work and great video.

    Mike
    Very nice can. Almost as quiet as the can on the M3A1 my grandfather brought home from WW2.
    He was in a unit in the Marines that was tasked with a very similar job as the OSS. Granddad worked in the Pacific Theater. When he came home from the war he brought a trunk full of of weapons. A Thompson, a. BAR, a TANKER Garand, several 1911s, 2 suppressors for 1911s that are INSANELY QUIET, an INTEGRALLY suppressed M3A1, and a WELROD.
    Until he died we had no idea most of the stuff existed in his collection. I knew about the Welrod because he used it to keep stray/wild cats out of his yard and I remembered seeing him use it.
    Fortunately granddad was smart enough to register EVERYTHING in 86 when the Amnesty was around.
    When he died we found the trunk full of stuff he bought back and I was able to get a "friend" to x-ray everything to check for cracks. Everything was fine so we took them out back to try them out.
    YOUR M3A1 is QUIET, but has a lot of spring noise. The one granddad had, makes a bb gun sound LOUD. NO SPRING NOISE or BOLT CLATTER.
    When I was in Force Recon I used the MP5SD quite a bit. It is the modern PINNACLE for QUIET. The M3A1 grandad had is so much quieter it is scary. I have built a few cans off the design of the one on that M3.
    It has amazed me for years how during WW2 we had such advanced suppressors, yet today there is nothing on the market that is at that level for sound attenuation. The can you now have is RIGHT THERE with the BEST.
    To reduce the spring noise, you might want to try lithium grease or axle grease. Get a handful and roll the spring through the grease. Apply it very liberally. It should cut the noise signature significantly. Same thing with the bolt.
    Again, congratulations are in order. That is a very nice QUIET can.

    As someone whose chief interest in guns comes from fiction (my most prized possession is the Cimarron repro of the Wyatt Earp Buntline from TOMBSTONE, which has no basis in reality) this is arguably the greatest "steampunk" weapon ever made. The real silenced grease guns had long barrels. This one is weirdly stubby, which makes it great.

    I feel so dirty after watching this gun porn! This is one of my top dream guns w/ can. We still had M3's issued to us in the late 80's. I think the original suppressors were a bit longer and used mesh as baffling (I think... but could be as wrong as an ex wife at a biker bar)
