I've used tarheestatefirearms for many of my engravings. While I don't pretend to know whether they use argon for shielding or not, I can honestly say all of the engravings they have done on Titanium has been just fine going back at least 6 years now. But, what-ev's. SHE doesnt use argon. No one do...

Do they argon shield when engraving titanium ? Why ? So you can have shiny letters? Probably not. Nothing to do with aesthetics. That “non-shiney “ engraving on your titanium can is a brittle phase (alpha case) that substantially reduces fatigue strength. Suggest you take a few minutes to become be...

Done 12 since the first of the year. They were all under 30 days. Dark days coming after Nov. Stock up.

What you are talking about is building a 45 silencer and using it on other stuff to. Just build a 45 silencer with .578 threads and buy a thread adapter and use a reduced size end cap sleeve. Then you can use different ends on it. Big silencer companies do it. You can too. No one is going to prosecu...

Commercial cans? I dont think you'll have much luck. You can build yourself a couple of C sized tube cans with stainless baffles for pretty cheap.

If it's made from one of those solvent trap cups, I don't think most of those are very effective in the first place. Surely you can't be serious John. Ive got 15 cans and I made 10 of them myself out of solvent traps. Almost all of them are as effective as anything I purchased on a form 4. No magic...

If you are just doing one can on a form have someone else machine or baffles for you. Perfectly legal and a good financial decision. If you want to be the DIY guy then do that. It'll cost a few grand for a light duty lathe and a mill but it will be worth it in the long run. Now I personally can vouc...

$30 China can. Huge K baffles . Quieter than you'd think possible,

I have been by Mikes shop and he's got some neat stuff lying around.

You can notify them if you feel like it . They certainly won't stop you. It does make things smoother if you go to sell something but there is still no legal requirement to notify them of the permanent move of a silencer interstate or intrastate. Ive sold something too and it became a hassle when th...

The "requirement" to notify the ATF of a permanent move of a silencer move is not backed by statute. Interstate moves of MG's DD's , SBS's etc different story. There is a black letter law backing that up. Silencers? Nope.

You dont have to do anything. You can notify them on a 5320.20 if you feel like it but its not required by law.

I dont know theres a lot of science behind a screen packed suppressor. Just a perforated tube wrapped with screen. as the bullet goes down the tube the gasses get pushed out into the screen and cool and are trapped by the screen. The screen burnes up fairly quickly and it is a maintenance item to ch...

The G-380 was originally designed by Hi Standard just for an integral silencer. They had delivered one to the OSS by the end of the war with its integral silencer for evaluation. Unfortunately I cant find a picture. The war ended and the government cancelled the contract and Hi Standard built the G-...

Thanks but I'm not entirely sure youtube existed in 1998. In any case thats not a can I was truly proud of. Basically a 1943 design. The "new" integral is louder but it lasts more than 100 shots. Those old school perforated tube with a bunch of screen were pretty damn quiet with no FRP but they real...

My first form 1 can from 1998. Perforated tube can with expanded aluminum screen packing. Stupid quiet but the packing didnt last long between changes. I still have the gun with an entire different moocore form 1 can on it. My 20th century machine work wasnt half bad. Then... https://imagizer.images...

i'm putting together some 8" long tubes for a couple of Mark 2 rugers and I need some end caps. Ive got the threaded tubes already but I'm looking for end caps threaded 7/8"- 24. Doesnt seem to bea lot of interest in the form 1 can world for 22 stuff. They can be solid no problem. Anyone got a lead?

AAC is deleted from my phone

Somewhere along the lines silencer builders got away from Maxims original baffles designs which although they werent terribly efficient they worked and started doing all kinds of goofy stuff like chore boy packing, expanded metal screen etc. Some work pretty good. I did a 22 silencer decades ago tha...

Yeah most integrals the tube and baffles can be removed. The break being that you can't just unscrew it and use it on another gun.

If I could have integrals on all my guns I'd do it.

Definitely not. 40's gun. It would look completely off base. Needs too be round

I picked up a G380 High Standard I want to turn into a somewhat integral suppressed pistol probably cutting it just ahead of the receiver and threading it for a silencer and installing a front sight on the silencer. Anyway what is good out there for a offset 9mm silencer short on top but most of the...
