p.s. their MAGS have no ejector as the FACTORY ones do, so won't eject.

(Yes I am a post whore, trying to catch up to Cape & West Side)

So as everyone knows, 16" is just plain WRONG.

So with a can, even 16" is too long, but how short to go . . . .
The question on the century

well im voting for 6".  since it looked like one of your options.
I also think it would be cool to cut and thread right in front of the scope mount.

Do the 10" set up.

What about that poor Enfield that's languishing in your shop?

I'm thinking the shortest one there, the vertical photo. Basically butt the can up to the upper rail. Then make/modify an AK forward stock (with Picatiny rails) that covers the barrel and some/most of the can if possible. That would look pretty sweet. Just doesn't look right without a forward stock.  

ETA: the shorter length will keep most cheap/bulk ammo subsonic as well.

Just got the barrel back last night for that, threaded 5/8"x24 for my SRT can,
and called Doug this morning, but he is probably at Knob Creek  . . . .

Will post pictures once I get the barrel on the receiver, maybe this afternoon.

So I am leaning toward the 9" version, what would be 14" with a 6" can . . .

Setting up the Pac Timer/Chrono to do the 16" barrel with 3-4 diff ammos before cutting . . . . .

4.5"

That way most everything is subsonic.

And that it tucks into the front of a man's pants easier.

That is one butt-ugly gun!

I had one, years ago.  I sold it to my brother-in-law, and my nephew has it now.
It has a wonderful *rolling eyes* triggerpull!

One thing though, and I'm sure that you are aware of this....hypersonic rounds only tend to go hypersonic out of about 6" barrels.....I think that I would consider a 4 or 5 inch barrel....that way you can save on the price of sub-sonics!

Cool.  I'm still filling stuff to make everything fit on mine.

Sorry to hijack your thread -- why not go 4" on your AR7.  That sounds good to me.

Note: if you cut down the barrel you HAVE TO cut down the stock also- so it fits right.

I like #1 It just fits.

Besides, to help eliminate jamming, you WANT to use full power ammo. To keep full power ammo subsonic you really need 5" or under.

So my PAC-timer/Chrono must have got wet last night so I couldn't get the 9" results.
But do have the 16" results with 4 different ammos.
Looks like it is clear out right now, will try to get the 9" reading now, but will probably cut it back to 7".  I also have a 10-22 barrel at I think 5"-6" I can try .....

P.S. The 9" 45acp Enfield looks soooo coool.!

So it looks like you had to grind away material for the magazine catch to work.  I started doing that on mine.

All my parts are with Mike at Tornado Technologies.  He said he got to play with an honest-to-goodness-Delisle and that it had a complex ejector.  He knows a guy who knows a guy who has copies of original Delisle blueprints.

So, how does it extract?

Did you have to grind on your magazine adapter?

I suddenly feel like driving out to Vernonia!

So did you ever get the chrono dried out and working? When you do could you post the results here or on your site? Also, do you have anything for testing dBs? I know I could probably search the web but if you were interested in doing some hometown local testing I'd be willing to find some various ammo to donate to the cause. I'm sure others would be willing to pitch in also.
