Testing new discovery

[AlanMcD]

I simply purchased a mercury based recoil suppressor from Brownell's to try - it weights about 8 ounces.  I had high hopes for it, but when I tried it on three different rifles at 55 yards I saw no difference in group size with and without the device (obviously there was a lower POI).

I'll hang onto it for a while to see if it does anything at longer distances, or on other guns, but for me it was 0 for 3 . . .

I did the same thing, I used the "Chamber type of recoil reducers", chucked it up in the lathe,
removed the brass end and was left with a steel tube Mercury Filled, that is 4-1/2" long via .620" dia,
and weighs in at 6 oz.

I used one of those mini flash lite holders to clamp with, which also fits an bbl/shroud I have tried it on,
I kept moving the MAD device down the bbl (toward the action) and testing.
I have found that the best area was right over the very end of the air stripper,
with noticeable improvement in group size and reduced flyers, using OEM CMHP pellets.

I have built 2 of them, both the same, (there is a photo of it) some where in the back posts,
have one on the QB 79 22 cal and the other is one the Gauntlet 22 cal,
I and building another one to put on the Varmint 22 cal AG to see the difference,
it has a wimpy noodle of a bbl .430" dia. This bbl is the smallest dia bbl I have,
so I am curious to the effect of the MAD device, on the noodle bbl..
