So did you guys tell him to search in finnish?

Fusion 360 is free . . . get to work

Titsworth's X-caliber baffles are done this way

Very cool . . .

I think there is a definite future in hobbyist/sub $10k CNC machines.

Trying to develop a retrofit deal right now with a friend of mine for manual lathes using a tablet/wi-fi

On standard 60* cones, I feel like closer than 5/8" spacing really starts giving you diminshed returns. Caliber/bore size/vents/clips all matter but there is weight in the idea that at some point you are greatly reducing the amount of gas coming off of the centerline and reducing the amount of volum...

Hello all. I am finally ready to break down and get a 556 can for my FNC. The FNC will have a thread adapter to 1/2-28, and it is full auto. The can will be used mostly semi-auto, but some full auto also. Durability? Cleanability? Mount? Any suggestions? Thanks again. Very few takeapart 556 cans if...

The main problem with any rectangular can is how do you take it apart?

Everyone wants take-apart pistol cans and everyone also wants the silencer to weigh nothing so the box design in and of itself just isn't practical with today's market.

Dater is usually pretty spot on except his love of 4100 series steel

Handyman got it though . . . oxidation becomes a problem when titanium starts getting really hot and most silencer guys ride them hard and put them up wet.

what twist? 1:4????

Good luck getting it to cycle at 6" . . . I guess if you only shoot suppressed you stand a chance.

The element is the only can I know of where the 1st shot has a chance of being quieter than a subsequent shot FWIW.

I'm no AAC fan boy but the XM2010 contract is still in place . . . they have to deliver Titans with the rifles or Big Green is going to have some explaining to do.

Given the government/ATF's inclination to outright ban things they don't like, all it's going to take is a Dorner or some hitpiece on Nightly News/60 minutes to get them to ban this stuff just like the 7n6 5.45. You keep pushing the line and eventually the unregulated and unencumbered ATF will get i...

If you threaded the interior of the can and the exterior of the baffles you could screw them together. Could you unscrew them apart after your done shooting? :mrgreen: AR 9mm's have terrible ejection port noise, so they sound louder to the operator than they actually are. I was quite happy with the...

Just FYI OP, Bendersquint is a 02/07 (correct me if I am wrong here bender) manufacturer and 99% of the time will tell someone the option that has zero chance of getting you into trouble which can be pretty good in the NFA world as the ATF is convoluted and filled with stupid law. However, if you ma...

there's not really hard and fast rules… in general the more powder that burns, the quitter it will be. BUT, it depends on the can quite a bit- some cans perform better with higher pressure (shorter barrel) and others with lower pressure (longer barrel). You'll have to test in combo with particular ...

When typing my post I just knew someone (dealer/rich guy) would post up that they trash their cans harder than ANYONE, etc etc. Didn't realize it would only take one post. Civilians beat cans harder than mil ever will. Really? How many silencers have you submitted for a military solicitation? The co...

I know him!

What I am asking for is not different requirements, which seems to be what you and Robert posted, but about "innovation" - the act or process of introducing new ideas, devices, or methods. I do not see any new ideas, devices, or methods, on any military can that the commercial market did not want a...

I have been trying to get a hold of them for a week and a half now by phone, email and their automated email on the website, but unable to reach them, the dealer is jerking me around just having a horrible experience all around, the last dealer I started with was trying to charge me full retail for...

I haven't designed one nor have I seen a monocore design at the same length produce a smaller sound signature using supersonic rifle ammo than standard 60* cones (ported/clipped/whatever). The monocores I've done and others I've metered really show great gains when using subsonic ammo . . . not sure...

I've worked with him in a number of capacities at various companies and I've always really liked him. That said, i have no idea of the internal goings on at SilCo. That is strange . . . I got the same impression from him. Nice guy but drama seems to follow him. Must be more than meets the eye with ...

Probably has to be filed haha

I always get AAC HR notices from Kathy - who is beyond awesome, has been there for many years, and I would assume everyone else feels the same way as I never heard otherwise. Robert, I didn't mean to say AAC's "HR" to which Kathy I don't believe was listed as HR on the company flow chart . . . more...

From the perspective of the guys paying the bills, the costs are going to go down across the board, due to the centralization of engineering, shipping/receiving, facilities management, recordkeeping, etc. I don't think that's ever been the issue . . . of course it makes fantastic business sense. Ov...

douchy move.

Seems like a great way to get rid of an older employee's vacation and pay level
