Re: Bad Cone build
Did you clip your baffles? Unclipped vs clipped baffles makes a significant difference in suppression levels.

Re: Monocore .22LR to make integral ???
By permanently attaching the commercial suppressor to a barrel, are you thereby increasing the (registered) length of the suppressor to include the barrel's length? I believe the ATF regulations prohibit changing a suppressor's length, except for a minor reduction during a repair. Maybe I'm interpre...

Re: First shot POI shift
New here, thanks in advance for your patience. I am having my first shot ( while running a suppressor) POI hitting 1.5" high to the right, This is consistent. All other shots are grouping where I aim less than .75"...…… Is it that the can has oxygen in it, and the burn off causes the firs...

Re: First shot POI shift
I would suggest shooting your first and succeeding shots over a chronograph to determine if your first shot is being "boosted" by the oxygen burn in the can. This could cause the elevation deviation from the other shots.

Re: why do clips work?
My simple theory: The projectile forms a temporary "plug" in the baffle orifice and causes the gas pressure to swirl around that baffle's cone. At that same instant, the gas pressure passes through the area created by the clip. That "jet" of gas pressure flows onto the slope of t...

I would suggest omitting the reaming operation but instead, bore the hole after parting the cone to achieve a "better-centered" hole. FWIW

Re: Gunshot DB ratings
I was shooting my suppressed Rem 700 6mmBR (107gr @ 2640fps) at 500yd targets, and the target pullers in the pits told me that they could not hear the gunshots, only the sonic crack as the bullets passed over their heads.

Carbon deposits on suppressor baffles
When examining the carbon deposit build-up on clipped 60* cone baffles, what does the industry research show? Is the carbon and powder residue accumulating in areas where the clip is directing the gas pressure to? Or instead, is the carbon accumulating in low pressure areas where it is not being for...

Re: 80% silencers? Yep, it finally happened! (we have them but under the term "solvent trap" - at least they are honest!
According to the American Suppressor Assn., currently there are 8 states that do not allow civilian ownership of suppressors. The HPA would not change those states' laws, but only amend the NFA. The HPA as it's now written would remove suppressors from the regulation of the NFA, eliminate the $200 t...

I considered drilling 4 or 8 small holes, about .100 to .125, through the cap into the flutes on the front, to allow greater "disbursement" of the gas, but was worried it would make the can louder. After looking at a lot of commercial silencers' designs, I couldn't find any with multiple h...

Re: 30 cal 1.625" Titanium w/MAAD 51T
The internal cone was originally the size of the step diameter, and had a bore "depth" of .350" (and no exit cone) when I first tested the can. The suppression was OK, but I believed it should be better. I modified it to this design and noticed it was a lot quieter, estimated at about...
