Re: Tricks to k baffle orientation

What if one were to reduce the number of K's and use a 'trumpet-mute' type of spacer after each K? I too have played with those ideas....realizing in the end that you still need "that length" if you are not using some type of bore closing wipe at the end. The least number I have done is S...

Re: Tricks to k baffle orientation

I'm trying to figure out how short you can go and still get good suppression, and trying to see the relationship between diameter and length for Ks. Byrdman I have found with 22lr K Baffles....a smaller diameter tube works best. Check out my build on a suppressed Ruger MKII http://www.silencertalk....

Re: Tricks to k baffle orientation

what is the OD of the Ks you use, and how long are they? Byrdman Those K Baffles in the pic were .865" dia , .600" long. Remember....the buildup was only after 20 rounds. After about 200 rounds the entire length of the suppressor shows deposits. That pic really shows that as the blast ent...

Had my local Class 02 Mfr do it for me....he had the tool.
Someone here had suggested to go in and back bore your barrel just past the ports to eliminate the worry of the burrs.
Turning the ported area into a muzzle brake.

Re: Traditional blueing on a suppressor?

Sorry no pics.
The Maxim cans I have handled have been "blued".

I had order'd a Stainless 45 suppressor to match my SS Colt 45.
The suppressor came Black....so it got mounted on a blued Colt :lol:

Re: Would this be a suppressor part?

Here is a pic of my SPR. The suppressor is a 1980's AWC M22, which is a reflex design and comes back over the barrel 4". Barrel is a Noveske 16" Recon, Rail is Daniel Defense M4 and the suppressor just fits. It took some head scratching to put it all together. http://i246.photobucket.com/a...

So did I miss it? Can't see where you've said how it sounds. And a question; have you a figure for the volume of air in the over the barrel area? Doesn't look very large considering the 3 x 1/8" ports. Just a couple of cubic centimetres? I'm probably missing something... but it seems the sleev...

Very nice! How is the function with the short barrel and ports? A bunch of folks I know are doing uber short MK(i, ii, iii's) for screw-on cans and I've heard there can be some reliability issues. They are doing like 2" barrels though. Cycles Perfectly! CCI Sub's and Standards run at 950fps, C...

Re: Has anyone tried a cone and flat baffle?

What caliber?
If it's for a pistol caliber or rimfire, you'd be better off with K's.
I'd go with cones (clipped or not) for rifle calibers.
You could post a drawing of your complete stack.
You will get recommendations on where to tweak it.

Here is a pic of K baffles after about 20 rounds of 22lr that were placed opposite to the previous one. Notice that the blast follows the mouse hole of the K before it.

I fugure the tools are ok and are up to the end user to be compliant.
But, replacement threaded end caps, how are those not considered suppressor parts?
