Integral ruger 22/45 monocore

The first suppressor I built was an integral 22 ruger with 9" tube. I decided to try an integral design and figured why not another Ruger. This started as a 5.5" bull barrel, I cut it down to 3.25" recrowned and threaded after profiling. The suppressor tube is 6"lg 304ss. The mon...

Re: 458 Socom build

There really wasn't enough meat to pin and weld since the threads are 5/8-24 with the .458 bore; I just tack welded it like the Libety integrals.
I just anodize at home so it's type 2

458 Socom build

Just finished my semi integral 458 Socom build. The tube, mount, and first 2 baffles are 304ss; the end cap and rest of the baffles are anodized 7075 aluminum. Baffles are simple 60 degree cones, all but the first two are clipped. It's a 9.5" suppressor attached to an 8" Tromix stainless b...

Re: Booster-less micro cans vs slide weight

It's not as quiet as the full length can but it still very quiet. I shoot it wet with a 1/4" this wipe

It wasn't supposed to be as quiet as the full size, the adantage of the small size is it fits in the nightstand drawer with the auppressor attached

I built an all aluminum 4" long auppressor for my 40 cal Glock. It's roughly 4oz and cycles perfect on the stock pistol.

Re: 300 Blkout suppressor

I'll have to bring it to work to weigh it on the postal scale. I have shot it yet, trying to find time this coming weekend to anodize the baffles first.

Re: Completed form 1 5.56 NATO build

Go buy a 60 degree countersink to thin out the inside of your baffles. It will help with weight and sound. Also thin out the skirt thickness on the baffle for less weight and more internal volume

Re: Home defense set up

It's hard to go wrong with a Glock. The lower one is what I keep near the bed with a form 1 micro wiped suppressor. It's a 40cal G22. A full length suppressor is long for most drawers or rapid open safes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/bjgunner/5B743F91-8774-4B12-9A7B-EB928E7A81ED-705-000000...

I built one back when only colt and RRA made parts for them. Mine is set up as an integral SBR at 12" overall suppressed barrel length. The 9mm AR is loud in general due to ejection port noise of the blowback action and light bolt. I ended up making an extra heavy buffer out of stainless and th...

I have one. It's long and heavy and uses a K style baffle. Other than being heavier than it should be it does sound good. I bought mine for under $300 new before I was making my own suppressors so for what I paid and how it sounds I have no regrets. At the same time I plan to but in a form 1 soon to...

Re: Micro 223 Suppressor

I finally got to try this one out today (we had our first child 4 weeks ago so time is scarce). I shot it on my 7.5" upper which is the loudest thing I have. It was slightly louder on it than my longer suppressor but was actually comfortable to shoot without hearing protection.

The barrel on the Savage is small in OD, I think its 5/8" which would just fit through your lathes through bore.
