Is that a straight pull?

Yup. Basically an 1827 Biathlon Fortner action that has been made with mounting a scope in mind. Mounting a scope on my 1827 was a huge pain in the ass.

The barrel itself is about 8.5 inches long. The rest is suppressor. You can just barely see the seam under the bell of the scope.

Why so much suppressor and so little barrel?

Looks pretty awesome though.

Because silence is golden.

I'm interested to see how my Bowers Bitty sounds on my 10/22, but I've got the unique advantage of never having owned a suppressor before, so I almost can't be disappointed.

Your gonna love it and will soon want to suppress everything.

I put my new Hawkins scope mount on my Vudoo a while back. Hawkins already makes some of the best rings and bottom metal out there. Now he has kicked it up a notch. The top rail is great to hold on to when resting your rifle on barricades or it gives you a place to mount stuff on. The bubble level is in a perfect place and doesn't get in the way.

That new Hawkins one piece is nice! I'm gonna have to give Andy a shout.

At this years SHOT Show I ordered a Geissele Mk18 rail. I had it coated Magpul FDE and then stuffed in my Compass Lake Engineering rimfire guts. The barrel is a Douglass or a Lilja with an old JET titanium integral suppressor. I have mainly been shooting my Vudoos lately, but sometimes a semi-auto is so much fun. And being able to toss it on my tri-pod anywhere is pretty cool as well.

S&B 3-20x50 in a Spuhr mount on top.

I also had the barrel modified to a "cone" breech face to give more room for gunk to go when shooting suppressed.

Not the best photo, but I want it in this thread anyway. Love the size of this Bowers Bitty.



Here it is on the Ruger Mark IV

Those little micro cans are cool.

How quiet is it on your MkIV?

[Irving]

I haven't done a side by side with and without can. Only with can in my garage, which didn't seem that quiet. Maybe nail gun level with CCI quiets. The Aguilla primer only rounds are very quiet, but they are so low powered that I haven't bothered to sight them in and am not sure I'd trust them to dispatch an animal reliably unless I was holding it down with my foot. So for now those are just fun rounds. Neither CCI quiet nor the Aquilla will cycle the pistol though. I need to try the CCI quiet for semi-auto and see how those do. I haven't gotten to test any of my cans at a range yet.
