Re: Can a serial number be placed on an end cap?

I'm about to lose access to the CNC mill I had planned on previously using to engrave my serial number in my Form 1 can. So I got into looking at etching the serial number into the tube. However, the tube is Titanium and I am finding very very little on how to etch Ti. So since my endcaps are made ...

Re: Suppressor and accuracy?

So I finally got around to testing it today. I had a barrel setup in the lathe that had just been threaded. I screwed my can onto the muzzle and checked it with an indicator. It is about .015" out. So I figure that is my problem... Anything I can do, besides re-make the tube?

Re: Suppressor and accuracy?

My barrel is a medium contour and hand guard is an Odin Works Kmod free float. I'm gonna try some of the suggestions mentioned tomorrow. Sadly I don't have a laser bore sight. I like that idea!

Re: Suppressor and accuracy?

I'll do some of these tests to see how concentric my bore is to the tube. I have looked down the barrel with the suppressor attached and it all looked straight. But I'll do more conclusive tests! I am using Fiocchi 50gr Vmax same I shot the sub MOA group with. And yes all this testing is being done ...

Suppressor and accuracy?

So I've done some research and I'm not coming up with much. What makes a suppressor accurate? Obviously concentric building over the entire thing, but what else? Can anything else be done to help with accuracy? Put my Form 1 on my AR and shot a group over 1moa. I haven't shot the AR enough to know t...

Best way to clip cone baffles?

So what is the most effective way to "clip" cone baffles? I saw a picture of an AAC M4-2000 baffle where it looked like the took an endmill over about half of the beginning of the cone. Or would it be better to use a 1/4" ball mill and cut through just on one side around 1/4" dee...

Re: How are companies making the "modular" suppressors???

To start off modular is just a statement as you cant have extra parts for a suppressor however they can be modular in the respect that they can be easily adaptable to different platforms and attachments. The way the companies get away with this is they get the part (I.E. front cap/rear cap) approve...

How are companies making the "modular" suppressors???

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but I just saw another one. People throwing around the term "modular" on suppressors that are already on the shelves? Am I the only one missing something? The suppressors I am referring to are the SilencerCo Salvo 12 and the O...

.338 Spectre

I'd like your thoughts on the .338 Spectre just as a general suppressed round as well as a hunting round for inside 150yds on deer, hogs and coyotes? It would most likely be on the ar platform. Are there better options? If so what are they. I would still like it to be subsonic as well and have a lit...

Re: .223 can size?

Ok well I will most likely just leave it at this size and drop the muzzle brake attachment. I really want this thing before hunting season starts up so I will work on my internal design to get the most efficient can I can have. I was originally going to try an monocore but I think I will drop that i...

Ok well it looks like I will just drop the muzzle brake attachment. I didn't realize it would give me less suppression. That being dropped is 6.25" still too short with 1.5" tubing? I didn't realize that you could ammend the length. How big of an ordeal is that? Seems like anything with th...

So on my Form 1 me being an idiot put down 6.25" as my length. I was planning on using 1.5" diameter tubing for the can. I was wondering if it was so short it would be more useless at this diameter? Should I step up to 1.75-2"? diameter? I don't know if it makes any difference or not ...
