I have both read and used this book, and it is totally accurate. If you own a Mini-14, this is a must have!

There are no better books on this subject. I have looked high and low for such books, for many years now. I would not, however, pick a Mini-14 as a rifle to suppress. The remounting of the front sight and threading of the barrel are serious problems for the silencer maker. Those problems do not exist if you just use the AR-15 rifle as a basis for your suppressed 223 desires.

An author of unquestionable knowledge whose fear, if any, does not show. He's honest open and gives those looking for info a place to find it. There is so much fear today from the gov't impunity to it's responsibility, it's nice to know there are still one or two who don't run and hide every time they are asked to show their knowledge. The Gov't has the 2nd Admendment on the run as they bend and hide behind their cowardess. Support the NRA and your 2nd Admendment rights....or you won't have any, any more.

He should have pointed out that the addition of a heat-shrunk threaded adapter to the barrel could possibly constrict the bore, creating an overpressure condition in the barrel. Lead slugs should be cast into and driven out of the barrel, before and after adding the threaded adapter. If the micrometer indicates that the barrel has been constricted, that area of the barrel must be "lapped" (with another cast lead "slug", and an abrasive paste.

I order this book for my brother, and he yet to get the Book!! Jeff

Poorly written with difficult to follow instructions that involve poor techniques and designs.
