Suppressed Krink anyone?

[islandermyk]

So I just got my Tax Stamp to SBR the "lil b*tch".
There is no way I can afford to FA it though... unless I hit Jackpot or some sh*t.

So now... I have this bright idea of suppressing it...

I ordered a AAC 7.62 SDN6 originally intended for my bolt rifle and was wondering if it'll work on the Krink...?

I will get with AAC about this of course.... I wonder what kind of work will be needed to do all this though... [Dunno]

[Great-Kazoo]

Only issue is baffle strike. My 5.45 unit had no issues suppressed, however it did have a green mtn bbl on it.
AAC might caution you against using due to concentric bbl bore to can/ baffle strike. On my SLR 106 using a HALO i checked clearance with straight rod and then laser. That 223 unit runs great suppressed.
If it is not a baffle strike issue do it. Suppressed AK's are head turners, Evil looking AND suppressed.[Score]

The suppressor I ordered is chambered in 7.62x51/.308... I'm hoping baffle strikes will be the lesser problem to worry about shooting 5.45x39 through it..

My worries is the idea that the suppressor has no interchangeable cam/piston... I wonder what type of work needs to be done to the Krinks barrel end to accept the suppressor...?

Aww man... I could only imagine how it would look like [Love4]

[TFOGGER]

If memory serves, the 7.62x39 actually uses .311 bullets, so it might be a tight fit for the .308 suppressor. Making a subsonic load could probably be done with 303 Brit or 7.62x54R .

My Krink is chambered in 5.45x39
The suppressor is for a .308/7.62 NATO round.

That would be pretty interesting to have some subsonic ammo in 5.45x39 and run it though this set up in mind.... I wonder if it'll cycle normally?

dammit... now I'm really dreaming...

I need to hit the lotto or something...
FA Suppressed Krink... oh gawd...
damn... [Faint]

My bad...

5.45 should be no problem, but working up a functional subsonic load might be interesting...

[Great-Kazoo]

The standard load is quiet enough suppressed, Start dicking around with subs and it's a hair pulling exercise. Look up here, or on Zak Smiths website for his "opinion" on semi subsonic loads. he did some work with .223
You can run in to issues with key holing from low powder charges, which might result in baffle strikes.
Not saying unsuppressed sub sonics are not a fun project, just exercise caution if you decided to attach a can for use.

Same thread pattern. You will need to locate a machinist for this, unless an adapter is offered to go from R/H standard to L/H metric.
For my HALO all i did was obtain an adapter to go on the SLR's thread pattern.

Your cool bro... but as Jim mentioned...
Start dicking around with subs and it's a hair pulling exercise uh-uh.. my hair to long for all that [ROFL1]

I seriously need to look into this....

It looks like I'll be paying Bert a visit [Coffee]

No point in trying to subsonic the load. Plus you can't really get 5.45 brass. The 762SDN6 does a great job with 5.56 and should do awesome with 5.45. Just make sure the threads are concentric.

yeah... I was looking into that subsonic stuff... not for me and the krink...

I also looked at the thread pitch on the Krink (wanting to keep the muzzle booster) looks like I'm gonna need a special adapter to be made that'll mock AAC's 7.62 51T muzzle brake or some sh*t...

Thread pitch on the Krink is 24X1.5 RH for the muzzle booster device

.. and the AAC 762 SDN6 is set up to mate with either the 7.62 51T muzzle brakes....

I'm gonna give Bert a call on this one soon [Help]

Have a machinist make an adaptor out of an ak74 bfa, as for hand loading guys have been reforming and hand loading 5.45 from .222 Remington for decades, you can also buy a resizing die to turn .224 bullets into .218 or what ever bullets to load the 5.45

[68Charger]

you can certainly get the dies... and reformed .222 brass has been done plenty.

but I didn't think AKs suppressed very well, unless you also do something for suppression in the gas tube... I'm sure it'll be quieter than without the supressor, just not as quiet as an AR or bolt gun.

That's all I had to hear.... you are truly a wise AK guru [Beer]

You could be right about it not being as quite, but how cool it would be if I could get my AAC to mate on my Lil'B*tch [ROFL1]

Aww sh***t [Muaha]

This is so gonna happen!

Thanks fellas for chiming in... [Beer]



... and now the wait for the damn suppressor to come [Weight]

Just as quiet, maybe even quieter due to the gas piston system.

I was considering putting a few vent holes in the gas tube on the 106, since i don't have a vented one laying around and after a mag you get some blow back

Other than that runs fine. justin and [iirc] brycom were road testing my 5.45 carbine using the HALO too.

[jreifsch80]

i would say the 5.45 with jim's halo seemed right there basically the same volume as an ar15 with his same can, in other words both were comfortable shooting without ear protection but had a slight crack basically like a brad nailer lol

[CrufflerSteve]

I'd live with it making the sound that Justin described.

Reforming brass is a PITA. It is fine for weird bolt action rounds but for stuff you fire a lot you'd spend more time making the rounds than shooting. The range gods always make sure you lose a piece or two of brass even on bare ground. Add to that a dent here and there and possible shorter life of formed brass and you're making a lot of brass.

Just buy cases of the import while it's cheap and make a little, but not a lot of noise.

[jreifsch80]

or take surplus ammo and make "mexican match" with the powder and bullets of your choice but that would be annoying with steel cases

Come on up and road test mine.

... now only wish the "can" can come in just as quick [Coffee]

[jreifsch80]

now you just need to have it machined. you could check with burt (bptactical)

I have something similar, only a one of from gemtec.

I have a few projects for Bert to come...

I will need to call upon him soon... very soon... [Coffee]

any updates?
