Some states like Texas suppressors are illegal. Just read current Texas weapons Laws The only thing that makes them legal is that they are registered with the ATF, so passing federal legislation doing away with registration could impact legal state ownership, until state legislation makes them lega...

Damn those look great. Looks like you trimmed those as much as possible.

Can't wait to see the baffles.

I had great success changing to the KIDD charging handle with different springs. I'm rockin the one with white spring using a 16" tacsol threaded barrel with a tac65 suppressor. Very very reliable with standard velocity and subsonics. http://www.coolguyguns.com/KIDD-Bolt-Handle-Charging-Assembl...

This is how you should try to make your baffle.

You need to use an image hosting service like photobucket or imgur.

Then click the img button and enter the url to that image.

It's all about temperature of the gas when it exits. It doesn't matter if it is longer necessarily. Properly worked gas will stay in the can longer and become cooler. This is why it pays to have a good design so you save weight, save length and increase your grin size. The diminishing returns is why...

You arent going to cnc baffles for $2,500. You'll barely be able to buy american iron and tooling to be able to do it manually for that price. Any tool you introduce to metal on that machine will deflect. In other words, spend your money on quality tooling ONCE. We are talking firearms here, save yo...

The acceptable bore tolerance is subjective. Do you really think the ATF is going to say why do you have a larger than what your form says? You could easily say to prevent bafflestrikes , etc. It would be obviously dumb to have a .22 form1 and possess a can that is friendly to .45 or larger. That wo...

Blast chamber does not need to be reinforced with a 0.065 wall in 304. You would just be adding weight to an area that doesn't get eroded.

If you were making it from aluminum that would be another discussion.

That's one great looking rifle.

You should record some video of it.

Looks great and you have a lot of great looking baffles, no reason it shouldn't be sleeper.

Nice work!

The first quarter has a serious amount of wasted volume.

You need to let us know what experience you have, equipment you have access to, etc.

If you don't have access to all of these things or know how to machine them properly , you are much better off buying a commercial one.

I second the 1/2" blast chamber on a .22 build with that many baffles. I think you should drop it down to 7 baffles and dump that spacer at the end.

I don't trust anyone that wears lime green jeans.

May be a dumb question but you didn't put the baffles in backwards, right?

Any pics of what you made and measurements?

I didn't buy them but they looked like 1" OD , good for a .22 build.

Classic perfect form 1. Great job!

I had my body on the other side of a tree pulling the trigger from a string

That's how i still do it. Best way to crash a lathe ever lol.

Get the form 1, be present when it is made and take it home with you. Done.

Somebody saw Shooter too much.

Pics would help but legally I'd say you can't modify it without sending it to an 07/02.

Any pics of how it is currently?

Endcaps that are not the same diameter as the tube just look bad and will certainly weigh more. No thank you.
