I'm not a gunsmith but I really like gun smithing. This was a fun build and I thought I would share it. Along those lines, if you have tips for making a quiet-as-possible 5.56 that is what I'm currently researching.

In this video I describe what I did to set up a a 338 ARC to run as quietly as possible.

As always, your mileage may vary and I cannot show too many details on YouTube, but careful descriptions are given to help other recreational marksmen achieve a safe and reliable firearm.

Cheers!
