Yeah, well that ship has sailed; I own it, LOL. Having never shot with a suppressor, I didn't realize that would be an issue. It is a fun little gun to shoot unsuppressed and very reliable now that I ground and polished the hell out of the feed ramp. It is also pretty accurate and I can get 0.75 inch groups pretty regularly at 50 yards. The blowback isn't bad with subsonic ammo but I do plan to hunt with it and I will be using full power loads for that. I was planning on keeping the suppressor on it to save my eardrums when I fire at a deer but I will need to figure out some way of mitigating the blowback. I might be able to rig something up to guide it away from my face or something. I am just asking for ideas here.
It definitely would. I’ve bought several “lots” of shotgun reloading components at estate sales and off other message boards over the years, and I’m pretty sure I can load my own for about that price. I haven’t done much skeet or sporting clay shooting in at least 25 years, but my Father in Law just joined the local skeet club and has asked me to go with him. He’s 80 and has had some major health problems over the last 3 years, so he really doesn’t need to go by himself.Wouldn’t it be nice if 20 ga shells were still $2.77 per box!

This is not an AR so it doesn't use a charging handle like an AR. There is a bolt on the right side like a 10/22 or pretty much any blowback weapon that is not an AR. Less gassy powders might help but I that won't help with commercial ammo. Acc#9 is apparently NOT a less gassy powder and that is what I have used for full power loads in the past. I don't have any titegroup but maybe I'll pick up a little to try. I have emails out to TNW to see if they have any ideas since it is their design.
