silencer
In genetics, a silencer is a DNA sequence capable of binding transcription regulation factors, called repressors. DNA contains genes and provides the template to produce messenger RNA (mRNA). That mRNA is then translated into proteins. When a repressor protein binds to the silencer region of DNA, RNA polymerase is prevented from transcribing the DNA sequence into RNA. With transcription blocked, the translation of RNA into proteins is impossible. Thus, silencers prevent genes from being expressed as proteins.RNA polymerase, a DNA-dependent enzyme, transcribes the DNA sequences, called nucleotides, in the 3' to 5' direction while the complementary RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. RNA is similar to DNA, except that RNA contains uracil, instead of thymine, which forms a base pair with adenine. An important region for the activity of gene repression and expression found in RNA is the 3' untranslated region. This is a region on the 3' terminus of RNA that will not be translated to protein but includes many regulatory regions.
Not much is yet known about silencers but scientists continue to study in hopes to classify more types, locations in the genome, and diseases associated with silencers.

I have a used SilencerCo Saker MAAD mount QD and 1/2-28 muzzle brake. I’ve gone to a direct thread and no longer need this mount. Works as it should and is nice for switching firearms. I have several other brakes in 1/2-28 as well as 5/8-24 but cannot remove them currently due to an injury.

So, I cleaned up a bunch of guns this afternoon. I tried to tear down the Ti-Rant 9 silencer, because it is well beyond the recommended cleaning period. I put many hundreds of rounds through said; 9㎜ Parabelleum (a little), .32 ACP (many hundreds of rounds), .38 Special (a good amount). All...
Kind of a neat-o setup. But I like all things .44 Magnum and suppressed, so "together at last" :s0110:, and therefore not surprising. Anyway, just passing it along for the grins.
Tried to get onto Silencerco's online store to buy accessories but couldn't. Sent a message and got the following from them.
Good morning,
Thank you for your email regarding our web store. We do apologize for the error, however our store is temporarily down. Our web store host was Shopify...
FYI passing along this deal for Cheapest of the 22 suppressors I could find. Have inspected it and looks to be well built. Have not shot it yet due to wait period. It says finish is “stainless” but it is not shiny metal it is a flat dark grey (not black). It is not shiny at all, looks similar...
This one is an older video. But the turn of the century, eh, turn of the last century, technology couldn't be more neat-o. Just passing it along for the grins. Cheers. :)
I am looking a Mac-type pistol that the barrel is threaded to ¾ x 10. Does anyone make an adapter to convert said to ½ x 28 or M13.5x1 LH?
I see a number of vendors that sell various conversions, but I haven't found that one yet. Thanks much.
I see there is an outfit called Velocity Arms that makes semi-automatic clones of the Mac type handguns in 9×19㎜ Parabellum and .45 ACP. I've been in communication with the manufacturer, though I am still waiting on details on some points.
Questions:
Anyone have one of these and/or experience...
So I'm looking at buying my first rifle suppressor, I found a distributor that has them in stock but they also have a few police trade in units of the can I'm interested in at a nearly 30% discount. The website says less than 200 rounds went through each and they come with the QD brake, but the...
I keep having the urge to suppress our Walther PPK/S (in .380 ACP / 9×17㎜ Corto). This handy little pistol:
Two part question:
What aftermarket / custom threaded barrel?
What super-duper small, micro-can for said?
Many thanks friends.
So, an idea I keep coming back to is buying / modifying a very little, handy bolt-action for small varmints (e.g., coyotes, foxes) and informal shooting. A thought I have is to:
Obtain a CZ 527 carbine.
Papering it as an SBR and shortening the barrel back to, say, 11-12".
Threading said to...
I didn't want to derail @Captain O's thread as his more on the topic of a suppressed defense shotguns. My question is anyone making a current production .410-bore shotgun suppressor? That added to a single-shot, or bolt action, .410 would make a nice, quiet platform for the dispatching of...
I just bought my first silencer and started looking into the laws and regulations regarding NFA items. Can someone point me to an actual law/regulation/ruling that describes storage requirements for silencers?
My question stems from the fact that from the opinions that I have read are split on...
Silencer Shop is running <broken link removed> today in which they pay the NFA tax stamp ($200) on some of their silencer offerings. Saving two C-Notes isn't bad, so I just thought I'd pass it along in case someone is looking to buy a new can soon. Cheers.
