HTA Kestrel AK, finally I found a reason to use it. Thanks AllenM

It was my very first suppressor and it literally does nothing for what it is intended for, i.e. 300BLK and 223.

I also paid extra $130 for 2 thread adapters.

I found this beautiful 20 years old Marlin Camp 9 with blued barrel and milled receiver(they sure don't do that anymore) and asked AllenM to thread the muzzle to 1/2x28.

It was a very challenging project because the barrel IS stuck good in the receiver. Well he did his witchcraft on the lathe and got it back to me in 2 days.

The fit of the thread is tight and clean, top notch.

Too bad I'm stuck home after surgery yesterday, have to wait another week before I can get out to the range. Good thing is I will have plenty of the subsonic ammo ready by then.

I didn't get to see the stock, that looks great. Thanks for letting me help.

I didn't know the Kestral AK was bored large enough to do a 9mm

Glad you found a use for it, love seeing "classic" firearms wearing a can

The bore is .400 because you will never an AK muzzle threads is concentric to the bore.

You can actually pass a complete 9mm cartridge through that can.

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but it sounds like you're running a 9mm through a 7.62 can?

ETA:
Whew! In the couple minutes I spent googling it, others asked the same question.

Gotcha, I knew they over bored it but didn't know they went that big

Hell, sounds like you need to get a 10mm Kriss Vector, you already have a can for it Just a tight fit

Very nice!! I was expecting you used it as a hammer but I'm glad a huntertown can actualy suppressed something
