VitaminC your design is getting better, however, there's still more room for easy improvement. You could easily add 1-2 more baffles. your blast baffles doesnt need to be that big and your last chamber is quite large and mostly wasted space. if you designed the core to fit into the front endcap, yo...

Two new designs here: First is a traditional K Baffle design. I like the simplicity, but am not really excited about having to make 6 of these. That would take me a long long time. But it is sure to meet my sound and accuracy goals. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/KG7J65QHeBp_0j8g151ocZuoMbfbuVH73...

I'm sure your design would have a positive outcome, but it is reminiscent of older designs. Have you looked at commercial monocores? I think it would be easier to mimic their features, than to start from ground zero. Silencerco Sparrow http://www.onpointsupply.com/images/silencerco_sparrow_silencer...

Latest Design Update: So I decided to eliminate the spacer in this version so I could enlarge the blast chamber. I also uncapped the ends of the baffle stack...seemed like a good idea... Made some small changes to the Exit end cap. The chambers at the ends look huge, but please keep in mind that the...

Do you think that might caus pressure to bleed through into the other chambers? With any luck it should. Pressure which has gone around two corners, or through two holes, isn't likely to have a lot of oomph left in it. The more you can 'work' the flow the better. Ill try this out on a future iterat...

Im making that same thing :lol: Started looking up bore dimensions for my project and your post came up, first hit on the monocore .22 search engine! Ive decided to make different monocore sizes for the different guns I have. Ill make 4 different bore sizes, thread them on my guns and leave them, t...

I like the outer chambers in the last design vitiminC. If you were to turn the OD down on a lathe between the outer wall baffles like you have shown, and then machine the monocore baffles on a mill, that would be sweet. Especially if you ported the outer baffles at the face/corner of the M baffle w...

That's rather beautiful. Two things I'd change, but just personal bias, not sure they're necessary. The little continuations of the baffles outside the core space are only stealing volume. Not a lot, but every bit counts. I'd shave all of those away, or perhaps leave just one in the middle, and hav...

There are a few different theories on that. In my opinion something mid-sized but not of absolutely even spacing/size seems to be good for rimfire. Capt. Link. has thoughts on that, good ones. Breaking up standing waves, decompression-recompression sort of thing. But for the most part you want as l...

More design variations! M baffler with side chambers. Does anyone think this is overkill? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/D6uGKDfuEnPl8nb3IkXvAoHk5CIWvu-zLaV1h_FEKLojYyJvamN-D1w_cCZZcIN3fyAAF7IewwjokO3PfumnKVJeci2Wclf7uOBTHVGpmZurMd4Ux6r-jmW0IIIenoONpecsNyyaJd1S_DjiQkPhy2lQPgquJvDdRs-EatAWOHPYkPuK...

Looks much lighter then the last ones. Probably more effective sure to volume increase. Symmetry should maintain accuracy and minimize poi shift. If you don't mind me asking, why are you doing a monocore instead of a baffle stack? I was planning on doing a monocore for my first build but the more I...

So on to design number three. This is my version of a 60 degree M baffle design. I also added a small stainless steel spacer as a blast chamber. Hopefully it will limit FRP (this will be used on a bolt gun and a 22/45) and also collect a majority of the rim-fire crud. Wall thickness of the baffle-co...

Every component of that design seems thicker and beefier than it needs to be. It'll work, but it'll be a brick on the end of your barrel. What machines do you have access to? Why not just use a spacer for the blast chamber instead of machining it into the monocore? The asymmetry of the blast chambe...

So is it better to have a few large chambers or many small chambers?

Ok I made some changes. In order to maximize the number of chambers, I shrunk the chamber bore size down to 5/8ths, added three more chambers, and went to a staggered design with mouse holes. Also I added some vent holes to the end cap. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/eVcEfavN7wTnh88hcedvxbAHsu4xQ...

Thanks for the feedback, I will make some adjustments to the design.
I think I understand most of your points...luckily I have about 3 more months to get this right.

Sorry that is not a wipe...just a chamber at the muzzle end. I made some changes per your suggestions. (Bored out muzzle chamber and extended blast chamber) Is this what you were thinking? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/GlvaNlRl5ChmzIP3Qx0hm77sjfmbkjesRf1WQXgqMHUJq4JJtr0GZwJ53xBJv9fb0KayI6CQsHfrU...

Hello. I am new to the forums and this is my first post. Still waiting for my Form 1 to be approved and I was hoping to get some feedback on the design for my suppressor. I did a good bit of research on similar designs that have been posted on this site, so hopefully my design isn't that far off the...
