Re: Brake VS Flash hider
The lantac dragon seems to eliminate recoil and muzzle rise. Watch videos of it for yourself.

Where is the internal layout diagram? There's no image.
Could you provide more details/pics of what you used to press the baffles?

It isn't a trap. There are a lot of people who are using preppersdiscount and sdta stuff. There's like a 30 page thread over on ar15.com about it.

Re: My Freeze plug baffle forming
The baffles at the start of this thread, what is the easiest method to get concentric center holes in the freeze plugs? Sorry if it's a ridiculous question just curious! Ben I used SD Tactical's jig ($19) with a 1/8" bit and drill. On the C tubes, the ID is 1.03 of the tube so you have to use ...

Apparently DORMAN has changed their 555-104 freeze plugs.
According to SDTA they have changed this freeze plug and it no longer fits the centering tool they make. On ebay, you can find lots of 555-104, but I have no idea how old their stock is and if they're carrying these 'changed' ones or not. On another forum, someone found that these plugs also fit: Se...

You all seem to be misinterpreting the intention of this post. I'm looking for thoughts purely in the realm of machining these tubes and endcaps into a suppressor. Obviously if I'm posting this link on this forum, they're intended to be used for a form 1 suppressor. I don't specifically intend to us...

How heavy does a suppressor need to be to require a booster?
The suppressor I am building is going to weigh about 12 ounces when it is finished. Is this light enough to not require a recoil booster?
The barrel length of the handgun is 4 inches, and its a tilting barrel, short recoil operated handgun (smith and wesson M&P 9c).

Found a place that makes solid tubes with compatible threading, so I'm gonna go with maglite.jlwilliams wrote:That's pretty cool. If they don't have the MagLite one, but they have the "Greatlight" one, why not get what they have and design your build around what's available?

Re: 9mm, steel or aluminum?
I have to agree that you should go MagLite. If you are buying a "solvent trap" already, why not buy a tube to screw it on to? If you buy the solvent trap piece and weld it onto something, you are nearly guaranteed to have some misalignment, at which point the rest of your work gets a bull...

9mm, steel or aluminum?
What is the preferred material for 9mm suppressor tubes? Steel, or aluminum? The baffles are being made from steel but I'm not sure what to use for the tube. Also, I don't have a lathe so I'm forced to use a pipe cutter of some sort. I'm not sure what type of pipe cutter to buy (preferably one that'...

Yep, the Apogee tubes are all D cell. You're using the SD Tactical C cell mag lite caps, correct? And the freeze plugs/tools he sells for them? Just curious if you happen to know the I.D. of the c cell? Also curious what you're going to use for spacer material? The I.D. of the D cell is 1.350, and ...

Re: PVC, or steel?
The apogee tube would be ideal, but I've since decided to go with a smaller diameter (C-Cell size maglite) instead of the larger D-Cell. It seems that they're all in that (D-cell) size.

Re: PVC, or steel?
How are you making the endcaps? Hopefully with a lathe. If that is the case, why not cut the steel tubing with the lathe? If that is not the case, how are you ensuring colinearity? i.e. that the axis of the bore of the silencer is in line with the axis of the firearm. I'm using the threaded (barrel...
