Re: Improvement suggestions for this monocore?

thanks guys- I got a couple of similar, very good suggestions and directions. I also found another 07/02 to do the work, instead of the guy who wanted to glue a wipe on the end :?

Re: Improvement suggestions for this monocore?

A wipe will likely kill any hope of accuracy. It's difficult to gauge from the picture but what is the size of the bore hole? If it's 1" in diameter that exit hole looks like it might be nearly 1/3" Do you have access to the drawings from which the suppressor was made or at least a list o...

Re: Improvement suggestions for this monocore?

Sorry for the confusion:

All laws followed- local sot manufacturer in hand...

The knurled end pictured on the left in top picture is the exit hole, V points are toward the muzzle.

The recommendation was to install a wipe at the exit (he doesn't make many cans, hence my question here).

Improvement suggestions for this monocore?

...22lr, the monocore is 5" long by 1" diameter. One straight-through hole, .274" and is not hearing safe at all, unless it is dripping wet and only with subsonics... Thanks for any suggestions! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b341/kokopelli1500/599fd564-5708-4f9b-bc2d-6b50f39def8c....

Re: Any Wildcat trust 49$ reviews/opinions….

I bought the Wildcat Trust last night, and just downloaded it and filled it out. Quick, simple and very thorough. I compared it to 2 versions of a 'template' that is being passed around on a local forum, and after seeing the Wildcat, I would be extremely worried if I had NFA items on one of those tr...

Re: Any Wildcat trust 49$ reviews/opinions….

Thanks for taking the time to post, Aaron!
I'm a Ky resident myself and have been interested in forming a trust for a while now, and I don't trust the 'template' that is being passed around here on a couple local forums.
I'll be ordering your packet today...

well, what would be the optimal 'overage' above the bullet's diameter for the bullet travel hole? -.22 cal in a can about 5 1/2" long.

Kokopelli, If you get a chance, email me pics of the internals of your suppressor. It's possible that you may have gotten a loud prototype core accidentally when you sent your can back in for the core swap. With our current monocore design, the original 1" diameter $99 suppressor is extremely ...

Last July I ordered one of Thompson Machine's $99 .22 cans off Gunbroker. I figured this would be a good start into the suppressor world at a good price.
