Did you clip your baffles? Unclipped vs clipped baffles makes a significant difference in suppression levels.

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...

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...

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.

I got a *delay* letter this morning telling me that I need to make corrections on my F1. It's a F1 silencer. There are no mistakes on the form. I'm going to call them Monday, but damn? https://i.imgur.com/He8CNqs.jpg?1 1. It is not being made from a pre-existing receiver or manufacturer. So, I list...

The mark on the compound rest needs to be set to 90* using these markings,unfortunately the degree circle is not complete on most Chi-Com lathes.The cross slide and the compound now will travel in the same direction when set to Zero. Next swing the compound towards the chuck 29.5* degrees from your...

Is your compound set to 29.5* on the graduated scale, or is it actually set past 55* to 59.5* on the scale?

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...

My day job is in accounting, and I don't have any engineering degrees. I built a few Form 1 suppressors, including recently a 9mm can. I ran some 147gr ammo through it with my Sig P229, it functioned perfectly and sounded good. For further testing, I held the slide with my left hand, on top, and sho...

Silencer Shop has a sale on the Liberty booster with a .578x28 piston for $155, and you get a free 1/2x28 piston with purchase. Here's a link: https://www.silencershop.com/accessorie ... oster.html

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

The SHARE Act is only delayed, until all the emotional hype for more gun control quiets down.

My father taught me "It's always too soon to give up"...

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.

Here's a link to the thread describing the "double hybrid clip" with pics on form1.suppressor.boards:

For a .22 suppressor, I'd suggest you look into the k-baffle designs...

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...

I love my Savage rifles and I have plenty to chose from. My 6yr old daughter has one too! I think what he meant is that you'd expect to see a surgeon action or something of the likes, given the rest of the brand names. Why have a retail brand when everything else is aftermarket. I could be wrong an...

But the 1000 dollar question is "How's it sound?"

Built with premium names such as McMillan, Bartlien and Leupold, the $66,000 question is: Why Savage?

Here's my latest Form 1 suppressor that follows my 30 cal Form 1 shown in here: http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=137165&p=939377#p939377 Components: - Titanium Joe's tubing @ 7.875" - ZMachineworX 1.482 x .550 Ti cones - (8) - Venom Machine 1.482 x .125 17-4 cone -...

If HPA passes, suppressors would continue to be "regulated" in the same manner as the Federal government regulates long guns. There are currently 42 states where suppressors may be lawfully possessed by non-prohibited persons. Why do you think that after passage of the HPA, the politicians...

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...

There are 12 flutes, 3" long. I used a 1/2" ball end mill, but the flutes are only .015" deep. The titanium tube has .070" thick walls. Also, the step to the front of the tube is only .010" deep. The flutes and step are mainly cosmetic, and have negligible weight reduction. ...

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...

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...
