SilencerTalk

Increasingly Cumbersome Enforcement? I was just kidding about working for Customs. I nearly added a Caveat that only the 1st paragraph of that post was genuine, and the rest was "creative flourishings." 8) :mrgreen: I truly did apply and went through the whole process back in the middle 1990's but ...

The Gemtech really does look like a fuel filter! I was amused by the California cancer warning on their webpage....like you could actually find one of these in California!

The suppliers of "Solvent Traps" will just have to rename the units into something more politically acceptable under the new administration. Perhsp they can be recategorized a "Transgender marijuana Vaping chambers" or something they will like better? I would imagine that its going to be pretty toug...

That's okay, you are already on their mailing list.

It did not look like a real dissertation to me. I just did a preliminary check to see if the school existed, if the author had any history of a Doctorate granted, etc. Just basic Google-fu stuff. It was an interesting paper, but it looked a lot like the outlines that people sell as "dissertation or ...

It is interesting. The "Defence College of Management and Technology" was not established until 2009, and the "Cranfield University" does not seem to have a department by that name.

How would using a pendulum to demonstrate decreased recoil distinguish between the effects of the mass of the suppressor and the delayed gas pulse? I don't doubt your word on this, I just can't think of a definitive way to measure it. Recoil ( like noise suppression) is so very subjective.

I don't suppose you could get away with putting ports in the suppressor tube? Is there a weight limitation in your service rifle rules? Without any ports, I don't see how you are going to get any recoil reduction other than from the additional mass of the muzzle device. Am I missing something?

I think it is pretty evident that even an untrained monkey can make a serviceable, but perhaps not great, suppressor from a Solvent Trap ( They are not suppressor "kits" because that might demonstrate the intent to manufacture a suppressor, or worse, constructive possession, and that...would be naug...

I tried using a Boring bar adapter on my mini-lathe for this purpose, and it works. Kind of. If you actually want to hang a drill, a reasonably long shaft and chuck, a longer and more robust would probably be better. The poor little QC mount is not made to carry a large off-axis weight like a power ...

I thought this post might be lesson number one in the French language...

Well, I can hardly dispute the findings of secret government labs....

I would venture to say that for any given suppressor volume, a wet, wiped , copper/bronze/silver screened device will be significantly quieter than a "conventional" can. Admittedly, these need frequent repacking, but the OSS probably did not have to shoot a heck of a lot of people. For a given volu...

No views of the internals?

The volume of the helical portion of this design is pretty low; I have a hunch that it would not help much, but that's just a WAG. Maybe our computer modeling guru on the board can do the math?

Well, now you have done it! ATF will be kicking down Grainger's door by the end of the day!

I don't see any posts by CMV about how this design worked out for him. It is a pretty high weight-to-volume design, so I really wonder how it worked out in either of these builds.

Are you using cast slugs? The additional back-pressure caused by the can may be causing your barrel to overheat, and this could cause erratic performance. Even without cast slugs, an over-heated barrel will cause accuracy problems.

Nice!

So this will be a two-stamp gun?

Increased back-pressure is an inescapable side effect of adding a suppressor ( There are some manufacturers that say otherwise, but I think they are Commies...) Effectively, your action is opening too soon, and the gas pressure is causing that mess flying back into your face and dirtying up your gun...

Giving the gentleman the benefit of the doubt, I would think that he he could build suppressor from one of the "Filter kits" with little more than a hand drill and one bit. I can't believe that anyone in America does not have at least a cordless drill, and if they don't, I suggest this kind of a pro...

I suppose with no tools at all, you could build an "Irish" silencer, sometimes called a "Russet" silencer, but its really hard to engrave the serial number...
