From memory 1 1/4" wide and 1/4" thick when I ordered it by 12"x12" piece. When I ordered, I think it was Neoprene with a durometer of about 50 or 60 (how elastic it is without tearing or chunking out. A lot of guys went with a really small hole in the middle, but I found that it...

Lots of good info over on the Uzitalk site. You can also buy the same material from Mcmaster Carr and other places like granger, etc. that is in tube form, 1 1/4' diameter, with a small hole in the middle already. chuck it in a lathe and use a razor and cut the disks easily. I have also done the she...

I was under the impression that a 10.3 barrel in 5.56 is barely adequate for cqb. Have you researched performance of your 7.5 barrel? I'm curious how you made the decision to go that short for that caliber. This is my biggest concern. When choosing SBR's for work, I put a lot of research into the r...

1/2x28 is the most common thread pattern for both .22lr and .223/5.56 and is more likely than not, what both of your suppressors are threaded for. Make sure that is what both of your cans are, then match up your barrel threading to them when ordering. The biggest mistake is buying a cheap threaded b...

I have one old suppressor that has aluminum baffles, it has a nice gold color anodizing on most of the baffles. I take the lazy approach, I completely disassemble it and place it in a coffee can full of diesel and leave it for about two weeks. Then drip dry for a while, finish up with compressed air...

Does anyone know if they have a direct thread mount in the works, or if the Octane 45HD mount will work? This can is set for SBR duty primarily. I had not considered that when I ordered the extra 1/2x28 piston that the piston setup probably would not work on a 9mmAR. I have never had a pistol can be...

Thanks for the great review. I was dead set on a Octane 45HD and have even recommended them to friends who have bought them, but after seeing this, and a few days of research, the modularity of this can really made it stand out to me. I ordered it yesterday. The primary function of this suppressor f...

I have been looking at picking up a 45 Octane and the Omega, but of course, have been very interested in the new Hybrid now. I can't seem to find anything on the material used in the Hybrid. I'm guessing that since it uses a baffle stack similar to the Octane, that the material is Stainless Steel an...

So where all do you guys apply grease to your AR's? I just know between the trigger/hammer connection, I guess. the rails on the carrier along side the gas key, just a very minor application, but you can see the wear there first. The other spot im regular on, is the back side of the locking lugs on...

Nothing wrong with Mobile1, especially since its readily available and inexpensive as far as synthetics go. If you want or need a little more protection, Castrol Syntech 5-50, lasts longer and provides a little better lubricity. I have been Using Amsoil race synthetics, both oil and their high speed...

I have an original MAC scionic suppressor in .45. I started looking into having Gemtech convert the internals to a more modern system, but decided against it later. The MAC-10 is such a loud clack box, that a quieter suppressor isn't going to make that much difference. Most of your noise that is lef...

Thanks for the heads up. I have never owned an adjustable block, the Seekins on my brothers build was my first experience with one, it has worked fine for him so far. I have used a switchblock that comes on Robinson Armaments XCR or whatever acronym they have, it has a switchblock that worked very w...

I recently went through this with a 16" build that my brother put together. After lots of testing, the gas block was out of spec and was not sealing properly on the barrel. He ended up purchasing a Seekins Precision adjustable block and we replaced it, finally got it to stop short stroking, and...

im over 110 days now, still nothing. Thing that really sucks is I ordered it from my local dealer when the sparrow was going through its change to the new design, around december, or end of November, it took almost 5 months for him to get the new SS Sparrow in stock, then submit the paperwork, 110 d...

They are both very young minors at this point, but since these purchases seem to be for life, I was just trying to plan accordingly.

I am considering putting a trust together for future suppressor purchases after doing a couple the regular route. I want to set up a trust so that the suppressors I buy now, can be used by my children when they are old enough and of course my wife now. Is it legal to purchase a suppressor on a trust...

What if you found a local welding shop that could benefit from purchasing raw material and the metal was sold to them to resell to whomever they want and use the material themselves. The material would be sold to someone who is not intending for it to be a suppressor, then once they have it, you cou...

ok, I had a different picture in my head, I thought you were describing a small roll and lay it in the bottom of the can in a circle, then stack the next 3/4" thick roll on top of that, I was thinking about 5 rolls total to fill it to the top and clipping the end of it to make the length just p...

there was some lead inside the eyelets, i threw them in the tumbler to see if they will clean up some. some of the holes on the 1st stage shaft, were almost completely plugged, I may try drilling them larger like you suggest, it makes sense. how dense would you suggest rolling the hardware cloth on ...

I was so excited, last night I finally got 20 minutes away from the kids, took my 1st stage can down to the shop and put in in a vice padded with an old intertube and went to work. I had not got any replies back, but figured it probably unscrews the part with the holes off of the center shaft. Not h...

Ok, I finally got the 1st stage tube separated from the 2nd stage. I have been over these posts and links several times, but still have not found any pic of the 1st stage disassembled and im not sure how it comes apart. Some of you say that even rebuild dealers dont touch this part because the alumi...

I agree, they look right. performance is lacking a little, but man it looks cool on there. I just got the 2nd sprial out after a good soaking in carburetor cleaner, then fought with and got the 2nd encapsulator out. Tomorrow, will see about cleaning up everything that is out and possibly getting the...
