I only recommend A weighting because it's what the industry uses. Z weighting I believe is what tells the most truth.

It's still really difficult to compare apples to apples regardless since every manufacturer has their own guns and ammo they run, but A to A get's you a little closer.


Jon

Are you using Z weighting? Those numbers should be lower. I have the same meter, I haven't metered those cans but my best can meters around 113db with CCI SV. Sico Spectre 2 meters 113-115 as well. Everyone has such great things to say about the mask, I find it surprising it's over 120db, I need to ...

It wouldn't be a hard thing to test - clip all but one, then try the unclipped baffle in the first and last to see how your POI shifts. If it doesn't shift much clip the last one.

You guys are over thinking this whole thing, just mill some soft jaws with your cores outside diameter and clamp it with about 10ft-lbs of torque.

300blk isn't that quiet, especially on an AR. That can looks like its 1.5"x6", I wouldn't be surprised if its around 140db. People often say its mouse fart quiet, but even with a big specwar on a 10.5" AR, its still pretty loud. Your clips are about as big as I'd go the way you're doi...

How many rounds until baffles scatter downrange?

gonna need a different meter for useful data. The sampling rate isn't high enough and it has a maximum of 130db. its extremely unlikely that you're under 130db on a 5.56

Just needs a piece of 1/8" thick metal bar to take it down, fits in the front cap slots. Always wear gloves, the end caps will rip your hands up.

The ruger is very nice, other than the stock and the magazines are not great but it gets my vote.

I don't think that's what he said.. but my shop rate is no where near $20/hr... add a 1 in front of it then we're getting close

Let's see: numerous Federal Firearms Licenses, Special Occupational Tax, ITAR fees, machinery, staff, insurances, payroll, rent, income & property taxes, zoning permits, materials, research & development , etc. Moderators cost a lot less overseas (e.g., Finland, New Zealand, Switzerland, UK...

That .308 liberty freedom won't be too happy with 9mm bullets stacked up in it!

Omega 9k advertises those numbers, but in real life, I doubt it, Capitol Armory has a video showing over 140DB with Silencerco ammo on an AR and 138 on a bolt gun

That is pretty amazing. I'd love to see some pictures of the insides! Pull the adapter and end cap and post them up

3/8" is way too small for a 9mm suppressor. .410 is about right, you should take it apart to clean it out and make sure everything is aligned. Maybe your booster housing isn't aligned to the rest of the can?

Where are you located? Background in the vid looks like my neck of the woods

Roughly an hour north of Minneapolis MN and right on the border with Wisconsin.

Hey, If you want to meter it, contact me I'm in Blaine.

So is the 11b 9mm really suppressed .22lr quiet like they advertise? (118db)

Awesome video, I've been looking for one that showed it this clearly for a while. What I find interesting, is it looks like the barrel and slide are unlocked at the point the bullet exits the suppressor.

kashed420 - What kind of help do you need? I'm working with Schreyer Weapon Systems doing development.

I did a few 7" barrels a few years back with custom gas systems and have some blanks cut to length to do 6" but haven't had time.

Not enough meat in a standard A2 gas block but ones that do have the meat, I drill and tap 6-32 thread into the port just above the barrel, its .295" forward from the shoulder and .500" from the centerline of the barrel, install set screw. Here are some examples to look at. http://www.rain...

It happens on every forum.

As time goes on, every forum progresses towards this, the veteran members get sick of the same old questions and start to get grumpy. When it gets popular, you get inundated by n00bs and it gets even worse.

The cooling effect of the exhaust gasses by a suppressor via convection heat transfer is negligible.

One or two prototypes, etc. Lots aren't a problem. I'm personally not fully aware the logistics and laws around all this stuff when it comes to outsourcing stuff and marking variances, I leave that to the shop owner If you are willing to shed some light on this, please send me a PM

has anyone done any research on Type III or Hardcoat anodizing? I haven't spent a lot of time looking into the process but most of what I design gets hard coat anodized. Its a real pain to get controlled parts anodized so I'm curious what it takes. I haven't spent a lot of time searching, just some ...
