So instead of buying one, couldnt a guy just take it out and drill a bunch of holes in it? Seems simple enough

LOL, I did my own. LOL…
Good thing it hid inside where no one saw it. It worked with holes this way and that but once I had a TT bushing in hand I sent mine to Tony as an example of what you get from poor maching equipment. Tony does beautiful work.

It is simple. Just make it well and go for it

hey WOK, did i get the first part right??

Yep.

“Bushing directly in front of the receiver” might confuse them a bit.

We just want to make sure everybody knows it is the FRONT bushing that needs to be vented. 😀

A vented front bushing allows air to pass through and increase the area the air can expand in resulting in a quieter rifle in a Talon SS or a Shrouded Condor and Talon.

149ok people saw this and no one responded 🙁 . ok, i’ll give it a go. i’m guessing you mean the bushing directly in front of the receiver, so, we’ll start with that. venting allows any escaping air ( from the firing cycle ) to be vented forward into the frame so you don’t get a puff of air in the face, which can be somewhat annoying. you also have to vent the frame, usually one small hole under the foregrip is sufficient. i think i also remember someone saying that it makes the gun a little quiter. hope this answers your question, and i didn’t f*** up the explanation too badly 😆
