#TornadoTechnologies

For some of the Wheelgun Wednesday loyalists in the TFB audience, you might remember when we began detailing the journey of acquiring an M1895 Nagant revolver (some 2 years ago), and the process of getting it threaded and finding a silencer for it. That long story comes to a close today because the silencer I chose to mate to my personal M1895 Nagant revolver was the Dead Air Odessa 9mm silencer, and it is finally out of NFA Jail and came home where it belongs.

On this week’s Wheelgun Wednesday, we revisit the M1895 Nagant as it has returned from its trip to Tornado Technologies to have the barrel threaded. It was roughly 5 months ago that I sent in my revolver to be threaded for a little suppressed fun in the future. While that seems like a long time for a barrel to get threaded, we will look at what contributed to that and see what is next in the saga surrounding the purchase of an old Nagant and getting it to the point of a fully suppressed wheelgun. Let’s dive in!

If you joined us last week on Wheelgun Wednesday you already know that a Nagant M1895 7.62x38mmR revolver has joined my collection and I have promptly decided to have it sent off to a company to be threaded for a silencer. That company is Tornado Technologies who was suggested by a revolver loving friend of mine and also a TFB writer – Samuel Schaust. The fact that I had not heard of Tornado Technologies before only speaks to my personal ignorance and nothing of their lack of reputation. In fact, it is just the opposite.
