Re: Spectre II on Five-Seven

Spectre II, Sparrow SS, and Axiom are all pretty similar, and mine suppresses pretty well with the Axiom, so I'd imagine it'd do alright.

Or, google...

Semi auto, rate of fire is limited by my index finger. Not sure what the P90 runs, but I'm sure I can't match it. Shoulder movement is one of the ways you use to determine pressure in the FsN, it doesn't act like a normal cartridge when working up loads. Primers flow with AE factory loads. If your s...

Re: Spring Rate Musings

That sounds like the over stretching damage I read about. They can only be compressed until the coils bind, which they're designed for. They can be stretched until they're a straight wire, obviously not useful as a spring any more.

You can't stretch test a compression spring . We also use different diameter wire so using just length is not going to work.

Ever since I got my EA tuned EFK threaded barrel, I've been struggling with excessive shoulder movement. I was hoping it was some odd break in issue, and not a chamber issue. A friend suggested it may be a spring rate issue, but I thought as it was a new, EA heavy spring, that shouldn't be the case....

For what a Savage rifle costs, they should shoot AK groups. I know everyone now has a cheap bolt gun that'll do sub minute groups, but Savage always has, at the expense of that barrel nut that makes everyone throw up of course.

Derp! I'm dumb, I keep forgetting there are other platforms than the FsN for the 5.7.

I gotta say, they dump all their energy and tumble within those 9", believe that bullet is like .800 long or something, that's quite a slice through your tummy, and you've still got either 20 or 50 more after that first shot, seems like that'd do the trick.

Factory rounds are glued specifically to create inconsistent velocities and kill the Savage bolt rifle before it ever hit gun stores. FN might make great guns, but they should probably talk to Hornady or somebody about their ammo.

I have an Axiom on my FsN. Pulls double duty on my 22/45. Pretty much all ammo will be subsonic from an SR22. Most of the noise will be from the port. The FsN suppresses surprisingly well, even with supersonic loads. You'll be very happy with that Axiom.
