You can accomplish good results with a drill press AND keep your holes centered by getting the alignment jib made by number40fan over on the form1suppressor.boards.net site. He can also supply it with the appropriate drill and he's making them for pretty much every size baffle from every mfg. Once d...

Re: 1.372” cones

Check the form1 suppressor boards vendor list and look for oksignguy. They just started making 17-4 SS heat treated 60 degree cones. Just ordered 11 of them myself and should see next week sometime.

Re: First Form 1 Design

On other forums there are constant threads asking about DM lead times, not responding to emails etc. No question that they have good quality parts but their lack of customer service response is the norm it seems. On another note, I've ordered some items from Maverick Precision recently and their com...
