Gun Talk

The suppressor doesn’t make the rifle — the barrel does. KJ sits down with Austin Orgain of Oklahoma Custom Barrels and Mike Aland of SilencerCo to explore why competitive shooters and serious hunters obsess over barrel quality, how the right suppressor host can tighten your groups and extend barrel life, and what NRL Hunter competitors run to stay ahead. Whether you’re chasing a podium finish or a public land buck, your barrel and suppressor setup matters more than you think.

This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Savage Arms, Vortex Optics, Shooting Sports Life, Smith & Wesson, Dead Air Silencers, EOTech, Range Ready Studios, and ZEISS Optics.

Aklys Defense founder Joe Meaux has been manufacturing suppressors in Louisiana since 2009 — before most people knew what a Form 2 was. 

He sits down with Ryan Gresham to break down how Louisiana went from a paperwork nightmare to one of the more suppressor-friendly states in the country, what the Jensen v. ATF ruling actually means for dealers and buyers, why the 300 Blackout in a 5.56 gun is the scariest thing he keeps on his wall, and how a 550-grain bullet turned one of his cans into an unrolled toilet paper tube. 

This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Ruger, Shooting Sports Life, Leupold, Colt, Remington Ammunition, and Savage Arms.

Mike McNett of Double Tap Ammunition joins KJ in studio to relive one of the most harrowing Cape Buffalo charges you'll hear on a podcast — this time with his 17-year-old son behind the gun. 

Then the conversation shifts to hard cast bullet construction, why penetration beats expansion for dangerous game, and how Double Tap's new 9mm hard cast load is quietly redefining what a backcountry bear gun looks like.
