As soon as I dropped of the ATF paperwork for my supressors, I started day dreaming about what I was going to do when they finally made parole and I could start enjoying them for, as I listed on my paperwork: "all legal purposes".
Of course the Hybrid sparked many an idea, but the Spector2 I was actually more excited about for one particular gun, and thanks to Wally down at Gators Custom Guns....
You know a gunsmith finds a project interesting when even though he's backed up for months on projects, he has your barrel cut and chucked up in the lathe before you've even left the shop!
I cant reccomend Gators enough. It is the ultimate full service local Gun store.
Of course the idea is spawned from the Movie "Assassins"...
I had my eye out for a decent MK2 that was a little beat up so I could get it cheap, and risk cutting it down short to make it a dedicated supressor host... A couple months ago a buddy of mine had this for sale... it was a bit rusty on one side, especially at the end of the barrel, making it a perfect candidate for my project.
I saw the one the guy on IV8888 on YouTube did, but I wanted to make mine a little more practical, so I had Wally leave 1.5" of Barrel. This way, there is enough Barrel to stabilize, and give me at least a little accuracy and reliability. It is very picky about ammo.. I've tried several subsonic rounds, and so far it only cycles CCI standard velocity reliably,which is just under subsonic at 1050fps.
I'll take it back to have it fitted with a front sight, and do something about the rust spots eventually...it will look something like this one that I found on the net.
