Gemtech - Holes in end cap

Do the six extra holes in the end of the Sandstorm or HVT serve any purpose?

Thanks

Check out this site and READ a lot! - http://www.cnczone.com/

Start with some of the "benchtop" forums for mills and lathes. Those guys will tolerate us rookies more when we ask stupid questions.

Re: See full dimensions for 22 K baffle

More common US K-baffles perform alot better than this design. These are decent performers but don't even touch the realm of what the K is capable of. This design is used by a couple manufacturers in the US with a few little mods to it. Good design for a Form1 guy without much machining experience....

Re: Narrow(er) and short(er) 22lr suppressor tips and tricks

Are you planning to stay with a round concentric design, or are you looking to explore other directions? I don't have a mill, so I hadn't really considered any other options. I don't think my drill press will suffice... I was milling aluminum with my drill press and it was working excellent with qu...

Re: How's the HF 7x10 lathe?

For suppressor parts & the associated lathe work, will the harbor Freight (or the dozen variations of the Teig) 7x10, 7x12, or 7x14 mini lathes work? I'd bet for aluminum they'd be fine, but what about some of the harder steels or ti? I wouldn't expect .0001 precision or accuracy out of one, bu...

I think you can dip anodized aluminum, especially hardcoat. You can't leave it in forever like stainless, but a good hardcoat layer will offer oodles of protection. Stainless is definately better though if you're up to machining it. pneumagger - you mention hardcoat a couple times - I was just wond...
