Re: Clipping baffles without a mil

How about using a tool grinder or Dremel tool holder on your lathe, with the part chucked up? Its a relatively small tool investment. This was my second idea. But in a rotary tool attached to the cross slide. Baffle in the Chuck locked into back gears. Heck zip ties would even work for a temporary ...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

I’m thinking of doing this https://ibb.co/eRKVH7 The barrel and top of the bolt are closer together in reality than the drawing. Half circle in the bolt represents a shallow pit milled out and it’s followee by a small drilled hole to better capture the gas coming out of the barrel. One right beyond...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

Can you please draw what you're trying to describe. https://i.imgur.com/p6qqavVh.jpg If your bolt stroke is 3" then your piston stroke needs to be as well. The rear of the gas block needs a hole in the back that will be the size of your piston rod. Well I'm on your page...I'm just not sure if ...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

Again, the only thing the gas(no rod here) will do is slow down the cycling of the bolt to keep pressures at safe levels when the case is extracted so that I don’t have a case rupture or best the gun up too much. I thought about the rod method a bit more and since the gas blow would need to be open...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

So how doable is implementing this on a mac, or even a blowback AR. I was pessimistic about OP's mac plans but this could be the path to success. Even in a 9mm mac or AR this could be very valuable allowing bolt carrier weight to be greatly reduced. go read through my 9mm upper concept thread on th...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

Id need to see much higher frame rate footage before I was convinced. Id imagine footage of a blowback 380 or a highpoint would look the same. It APPEARS as if the slide doesnt move until the bullet leaves, but that's not the case with blowback guns. Edit: yep. Just as I suspected. https://youtu.be...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

It doesn't need to completely counteract the bolt thrust. Even a partial resistance will delay the action. Isn't that the core concept here? If the piston completely counteracts the bolt thrust then the gun won't cycle at all It cycles once the pressure on the piston drops. After the bullet leaves ...

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

Now you need a big rod to resist the tension forces imparted by the bolt thrust. 40,000 * .225*.225*3.14 = 6,350lb of bolt thrust (these are rough numbers) Be careful calculating bolt thrust around here. Some people get really upset. :lol: He won't need the rod to be able to withstand the full 6300...

I've got a lot of mileage out of that drawing! As why I made sure to link to your thread. :wink: If I may ask a question. What is the point (not purpose) of a blast shield?

Re: 460 rowland suppressed - mac10 clone DIY delayed blowback

Wrong...the flutes float the case with gas to AID extraction not to delay it. Seacamp pistols used a ring in the chamber to delay it. On the P7 the gas is holding the slide shut with a piston not pushing the slide rearward. There is nowhere to put a rod of sufficient diameter on a MAC that can be l...

I'm not sure what gun you're making this for, but I used a freefloated handguard tube on my integral as the suppressor body. Even tapped some holes for movable/removable rails and such.

Re: Reverse two stage

In my ported integral 45 I use plated bullets. Cheap, yet they have a protective layer for use in silencers. Keeping the ports away from the chamber minimises velocity loss yet still aids in suppression. My handguard is tubular aluminum so I'm not worried about firing it without the can (although I...

Re: It almost looks like a silencer baffle but ...

The ATF failed to prove that these reduced the report of a firearm (sans tube) and so it was ruled that they're not silencer parts.
