@Formidilosus first picture, bottom rifle. Is that an overbarrel suppressor? If so which one?

Good morning Roksliders,

I've been made aware of disinformation floating around so I thought I'd take a few moments and explain the different directions we're headed in and how those departments are being managed.

Unknown Munitions: 12 Employees, 2 Machinists (chambering), 2 rifle builders, 4 man Cerakote team, Holly in shipping, Yooner in Sales, Alex in Rifle sales, Jessica tracking rifle builds/ accounting/ etc. We've had the same machinists chambering rifles since day 1, UM is not a marketing company, we are primarily a rifle builder and Cerakote Applicator. Our 4 man rifle building...

For those of you that have attended the 0-600 class and I guess the instructors, what are some "I wish I had practiced, wish I knew, wish I______________." That you would suggest to those of us that are going to the class? Things to work on, consider, bring, that would allow someone to get even more from the classes or be better prepared.

Bring a shooting mat and be ready to buy at least the jelly fish bag. I really appreciated having multiple reliable 10 round magazines for my Tikka 223.

Guessing the molinator as well?

And did you bring Tikka mags?

 

[Bluumoon]

The six round Tikka mags for .223 suck. Mamba mags 10rd mags have been good for me so far, but they have been discontinued, can still find them at full price though.

Dang can't believe they discontinued those. Maybe @Unknown Munitions can come up with a Tikka 223 mag that works, is in stock, and ships from the u.s?

A lot of volume shooting suppressed in the cold at this class. Any observed issues similar to what is covered in this thread?:

Thread 'Suppressor causing chamber condensation'

Jul 26, 2024

I know this sounds odd and I can’t find much on this subject other than a guy on snipers hide that had the exact same issue. I have a 6.5cm that was a great shooter pre suppressed. I cut the barrel to 20 and now I’ve been shooting it and getting weird pressure spikes. Thought maybe I needed to change loads but if I shoot about 3-4 no problem. Accuracy is still not quite as good as pre barrel cut that that may be fine tuning the load a bit. However when I get the pressure signs I notice as soon as I take the round out of the chamber there is visual condensation on the brass. There is gas...

I've not had any issues with 223 which seems the most common but standard case sizes has been a bitch for me this winter while shooting suppressed.

Not a bit. I/we average well over 20,000 rounds a year in sub 30° F with standard and magnum cartridges, never an issue. Of course, again- we aren’t doing dumb things with reloads either.

Yes it is. It is the first prototype UM OTB suppressor.

It is discussed here-

Nothing beyond good gun-handling and reliable Tikka 10 round mags. The course is designed from the ground up. Practicing” specifically for this course will probably hurt more than it helps as inevitably it won’t be correct, and you will have to untrain it.

The issues show up for me with factory tikkas shooting factory berger and norma ammo and disappear when not using a suppressor. Maybe higher humidity in midwest contributes?

Seems more common with creedmoor chambered tikkas for me. Haven't had it happen with 223 and its much less pronounced on a 6.5x47 on a lone peak action.

Maybe. I/we have spent a lot of time- most of the rounds have been in the east and south east shooting in extremely high humidity- no issues.

Norma often shows higher pressure than most ammo- I have a lot# right now if it that has sticky extraction in several rifles regardless of suppressor or not

Where are you finding them? I saw there were some at Pacific Tool and Gauge but they have a history of poor inventory count it seems.

 

[Dioni A]

And did you bring Tikka mags?

I used a krg bravo and aics magazines. I have been very happy with the stock and magazines.

I had seen some .223s recently, but can't find any in stock anymore. Mambamag Canada has some and I offered to do a bulk buy at the discounted rate, but no luck.

Shooting mat as previously mentioned. Ear protection.
I used a Tikka 223 with KRG Bravo and MDT ten round mags
Only issue with those mags is if you push the mag up against
your rest it won't feed. It just takes a little getting used to but
when you first do it a couple times it frustrates you and you don't
need any more frustration at the class; they dish that out in spades
Only practice I'd suggest would be returning your turret to zero
and your magnification to lowest power when done shooting and
being able to quickly reload your empty mags.
If you're an MOA guy and have access to a Mil scope, I'd suggest
you throw it on at least for the class. No need to sweat it if you're
not familiar with Mils, it will be easy peasey to understand (unless
your name is Tanya Haha!) and life will be lots easier at the class.
