Re: Drilling Misshap

Yes you need to use a center drill, slowly, and start drilling with the center drill down to the bigger angle. That will give your bit a good starting point and if the center drill goes through that alleviate some of the pressure on the drill point. Which will reduce some of the heat that builds up.

Re: 60 degree cone baffles.

Pistolpeta I hogged mine out with a zero flute but finished with boring bar on the compound. I mainly did that for time and saving my wrist on the compound. You can use CAD or a little trig and just figure out how deep to cut then leave yourself a couple of passes to clean up any chatter or irregula...

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done -- Range Report.

T-rex, I understand. I'll try that out too.

I'm not complaining about the action noise, I have a govnah adjustable gas block and I can turn the gas off completely, which is how I shoot it during this testing phase.

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done -- Range Report.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've re-oriented the components to alternate 180 deg every cone. I can also rotate and or flip the spacers independently from the cones. So, yeah I'm going to just play with orientation for now. I also did find out that the Remington subs aren't to far from the sound barr...

John,

They are factory subs.

I was also thinking of opening the ports more. I figure it couldn't hurt.

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done -- Range Report.

T-Rex, the spacer vents were towards the exit end and aligned opposite of the step cut. I took plenty of pictures of the carbon and how it flowed through the cones and such. I think it can provide some clues. I did drill a small hole on the perimeter of the coaxial dividers and I noticed something i...

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done

Shot about six rounds through it this morning. I would've shot more but I am extremely low on ammo and only have about 6 more subs left (about 100 more supers). It's pretty good but, I think it could be a little quieter. I can hear the bullet impacting the ground about 25 yards away but it's still n...

Still on nights, not able to go shooting until probably next week. Oh this is worse than waiting for the stamp. Whiterussian, here is a picture of a spacer, they are all the same right now. And a picture of it disassembled which also shows the spacers. http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad304/police...

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done

Sweet! Can you post more Pics of the Ported Spacers? They seem to perform a coaxial venting function similar to Omegas. It looks overbuilt for a 300BLK. It would probably perform great on a .300WSM. :idea: I'm going to incorporate some of these elements in my next Magnum build. 8) :mrgreen: I'll po...

Can complete! Now to shoot and see how it sounds. I'm not sure if my steps in the cones are deep enough. I was reading the post where curtistactical was talking about his tests with different cuts in the cone entrance. His conclusion was that the half diameter step/clip cut, .125" deep yielded ...

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done

Yeah I was actually being lazy. I know we have some mics around with a ball end instead of two flats. I just have to find it. One of those things that gets buried cause we don't use it very often. Also most of the bearings we have around are questionable on roundness since they are used/bad machine ...

Short barrel, yes. Full auto or mag dumps? I don't have that much money. Partly why I'm building my own can. I'm also really enjoying the design and work involved in making something nice. About it being heavy duty, I'm trying to shave all the weight I can. Actually trimming the blast baffle is on m...

Re: 300 blk coaxial build almost done

Ok some more of what is already done... Blast baffle and blast baffle spacer. Spacer is .080" at the small diameter and .050" at the large. Baffle is supposed to be .080 but I think it's closer to .095". I don't have the right tools to measure The cone but taking other measurements an...

Sorry this is pretty much just a teaser for now. Just pictures of the outside. I was going to build an omega based can, but have decided to change my spacers and vents to the coaxial space and add 2 baffles. I'll finish it in the next week (I hope) and get some pctures of the finished stack. http://...

If you think about that it kinda defeats the whole reason for 41P/F.

Endcap design question.

I've been searching but can't seem to find my answer. I remember reading something about building a cone into the Endcap as an easy way to get another baffle in and or to help with suppression. But when I look at opened/cutaways of modern top contenders suppressors, I only see flat endcaps usually w...
