Re: OT Getting Tracers to Light in 5.56-223
Tracer are not that visible close to the barrel even the issue to us sometimes didn’t light. Those that did were past 25 meters and sometime a lot farther. 7.62 were a lot more reliable and the larger calibers. Even the 9mm from the subguns worked a lot better.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Lou can do it, he removed the barrel of the .35 Rem Marlin 336 threaded it and cut the Mag tube to allow the suppressor for me. It is not cheap but he is one of the best. He retired from the Ft Benning Army Marksmanship Unit as their armorer.
