SilencerTalk

Addendum: Got sent a pointer to the latest release of the new Parker Hale ... mono core ... can which breaks with over 80 year Maxim design. Seems such a half-monocore design. No specs that I can find. Some might find this interesting: << https://www.airgunshooting.co.uk/news/review-accurate-rimfire...

To lighten up another dreary 'lockdown Chi-Com-Virus day' by presenting this fun review of British silencer comparison: << https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVvhMuBZ1a0 >> Seems that British silencers can reach the low'.. 85 Db Range'. What do they know that our great American cans like DeadAir HD, et...

If you go the route of building your own can seriously consider purchasing " Geissele* suppressor alignment rods. " It is eye opening when this was done on some .22 pistols with 'home-brew' cans to discover that the can concentricity was so way off that the rod was touching the exit rim. No Pelosi! ...

#40Fan, glad I cleared it up. Tried to lighten things up during this Chi-Com WuHan created disaster. It has often been pointed out that a suppressor is a benign addition to a firearm that preserves human hearing, whose benefits clearly outweigh any false fears of venal politicians. The above satiric...

Is someone pulling your leg, or are you pulling ours?

Satire with germ of truth.

'Squeaky voice from back of darkened auditorium' : first buy to enjoy and avoid possible disappointment. Great heavy duty long lasting cans; buy the BEST up front even if requires saving, e.g., DeadAir, etc. Then have fun second go around and machine in leisure. "Hey squeaky voice, put a sock in it!...

Keith Rucker has had many instructive videos from which I have derived some useful techniques. Some future young members might incorporate in some innovative experimentation. It was like stepping into a time-machine and going back to the 1955 machine shop but with a classy and pleasant-soul machinis...

Why not contact Rebel directly?

Am I wrong but is it not considered 'a silencer '
by itself?

Please illuminate.

Addendum: My personal cure when things run off the rails is to hear about someone who has had life toss them knuckle balls and are given No-Respect!.

Redundant post erased. Sorry

I ruined both my barrel blanks. I'm furious. I don't have any spare cash to buy more. Nothing has gone my way in a long time. It will be a while before I try again. We in this small 'elite' band of brothers have total empathy! We all have been there and by the grace of the Universe are still standi...

Colo32, an unbridled standing ovation on your stellar machining and execution! It is stunning to see the evolution from the Institute's first 1960 demo of controlling a milling machine with a computer to mill an ashtray with a hyperbolic saddle, whose S/W based on simple vector analysis, to marvelin...

Good Captain.

I am intrigued by the grooved metal cylinder
in lower left of photo. How did you grove
it internally as well as outside?

All pretty, masterful, exemplary work.

Best.

Thank you all for the eye-opening and astonishing updates on the progress that has taken a quantum leap in 3D printing. Joyous news. This lead me to discovering "SIG Introduces 3D Printed Silencers in Titanium and Inconel". An " Astonishing Science Fiction " idea for a computer controlled layering f...

We already have 3D printed titanium silencers

Wow! Please supply some sources of this exciting
advancement.

Best.

The Good Captain's astute advice should be taken seriously. May I add to the list a na easy to build a tool I have found very useful more times than I can count: A Lathe Hand Crank << http://www.bazmonaut.com/machines/hobbymat-prazi-md65-lathe/hand-crank-for-threading/ >> << https://www.youtube.com/...

This was an interesting video.

One can envision in the near future
a recipe of metallic particles included
in printing cans. Then the final step
would require hardening by cooking in an oven.

Brave new world.

Something you might consider is using DELRIN (Acetal Homopolymers) rod, e.g., 1.25" Diameter for practicing techniques, prototyping, and modeling. If your goal is to cut say a 1.024" thread on an aluminum 7075 rod, first mirroring each step in the process with Delrin will expose problems with thread...

In addition, when wipes were legal there was a noticeable gain in reduction. A smaller diameter front cap could prove interesting. In a long ago forgotten time OCONUS an armorer machined a .45 can from a solid 1.65" (?) ± diameter, 8"+ aluminum stock. For grins he also made a front end cap with a .3...

Congratulations on a top choice. Your due diligence and buying quality will delivery many happy and safe years of shooting ... especially in long configuration. Thank you for update. Best!

its amazing what can be produced in a garage. machinist are some of the smartest people I know. im not one of those people I second your astute observation! In the early 1960's, using only large WW2 American Iron, the Institute machinists turned out parts that rival what present day numerically con...

buy once cry once +2, Sir! Another Bon Mot that concurs was made by a buddy who said ( before he met the one girl of his dreams and has happily married ever since ) : " A happy bachelor is a man who never made the same mistake ONCE! " Put in place of "bachelor" ..."Suppressor Buyer." :) :)
