What is the distance from muzzle brake to first baffle tip? The distance from the end of the brake to the first baffle tip is 3/8". Too close? Too far? I didn't see an answer to this, so I'd add my $.02 and say that I'd have the 1st baffle nearly kiss the brake. This would create a semi-enclos...

Does anyone know of a source for information on the thunder beast cb mount dimensions? I'm considering going that route as it appears to have a steeper taper which I think will be more consistent when removing and reinstalling a suppressor on it. I believe a more shallow taper would likely allow for...

What is the general consensus on clipping blast baffles? I've read a ton of conflicting opinions on whether it should be done or not.. This is going on a long range rifle, so accuracy is of high priority. Is there any specific dimensions that seem to perform better than others for clips? Also, does...

My thoughts as well!

I am hoping to stick with 1.5" x 8" at this point. I am a little concerned about the tubing wall thickness around the threaded section of the tube.. If I thread it to 1.4375-24 there is only going to be about .030" of Wall thickness remaining, which is pretty thin for the amount of p...

File your form 1, now, and design while you wait. Are your making the brake and mount? If so, a good option would be to put the taper lock ahead of the threads. Helps keep carbon out of them. Yes, I am planning to make the brake and mount, but I would like to have the option to buy a brake/mount of...

Thanks guys. I've changed the tube to .054" wall grade 9 titanium. Anything jump out at you as far as the general design goes that you think I should be concerned about?

https://u.cubeupload.com/bna5017/dhcsupp.jpg You're going to bore out a piece of 17-4 round bar to make a tube? titaniumjoe.com for some tubing. I was not planning on it, I have a call in with a material supplier who is working on a quote for 17-4 tubing for me. I would rather use titanium, but had...

I made some revisions to my design, reduced tube wall thickness (. 050") with intent to use 17-4 stainless tubing, added dhc clips to all baffles, and stepped down baffle spacing towards end of the tube. Current weight is now 1.3 lbs. I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about how this will...

You're going to want something a bit bigger, especially for 300WM. It'll be best suited closer to 1.75x10. 1.5 x 8" can be made to work pretty well on cartridges in that class. But it's not going to be forgiving, so a new F1 builder really should opt for a bit more volume to compensate for not...

Your tubing is seamless? .095 will be thicker than needed, after about the second baffle. I'd use a ...

Preparing to send in a form 1 shortly, this will be mainly used on a 6.5 creedmoor and may see occasional use on a 300 win mag, which is the reason for the tube thickness. Tube is 1.5" x .095" 304SS. According to my model current weight is 1.5 pounds, which includes the weight of the blast...
