Re: Difference in sound for different material?

If there is zero room for movement and everything is locked together tight there will be no difference in sound. Are you sure? I must admit I haven't tested it thoroughly as I've mostly made/used aluminium cans for subsonic. But if you tap a steel can they tend to produce more of a sharp "ping...

Re: Difference in sound for different material?

It depends on how tight you make everything inside the suppressor. If there is zero room for movement and everything is locked together tight there will be no difference in sound. If there is any room for parts to move then it is possible to get a funny sound from the suppressor. In your case on a 2...

What's the weight? My form 1 just came back for my mpx and would like to order the integral ported bbl with suppressor from you.
It adds 11.5oz to the gun. If you are interested in one of these just email me at [email protected]

Re: Question on legal limits of bore clearance?

... I read the law, that should be legal. Actually firing 40 S&W through it might be a different story, I don't know?? What you fire through it doesn't matter. As has been stated several times now the only thing that matters is the marking and, in my opinion, the size of the bore relative to th...

Re: which can for a 3 lug 9mm SBR

All good suggestions! Thank you for responding. I'm torn between a solid, old school style like the MK-9k (that's the one Gemtech recommended when I called), and something more versatile like the hybrid, Mystic, Curtis Tactical ST9CFP, or Octane. Also, I'm having trouble finding anything actually a...

This setup should be most interesting indeed!
The 147gr is the heaviest I have tried, I know a guy running 165gr hand loads and a Tirant 9, it sounds good too.

Re: Sig MPX 9 Curtis Tactical Integral Suppressor

That looks great Joe! On the 16" version are you pinning it I presume? On the 16" version the rear cap is welded to the barrel and the tube is welded to the rear cap, in this case the whole baffle stack will pull out of the front of the suppressor. The baffles are still threaded together ...

Re: ARES Ruger pistol upper with 40 DB reduction

That looks good. 40db reduction sounds normal for an integral MKIII I think, that should put it somewhere just over 110db.

I don't know if you had thought about this or not so I'm just throwing it out there.

I never clip the blast baffle no matter design, I have found 180 degree orientation on cones to work the best, that's how tests were done.

What I had in mind was more like the ones that Curtis Tactical linked their photo to. Perhaps a little longer cone, but that's about what I had in mind at any rate. OK, since it's already been done, I have to ask, how did they work? This would be primarily for 9mm subs, 38 special, sub blackout. Pe...

Re: 22-250 silencer

I would make it 1.5" OD and around 7"-8" long with 8-10 clipped cones and about a 1.25"-1.5" blast chamber. This would be plenty of suppressor for hunting and you could keep the weight down.

Great info, Joe, thanks. Have you tried moving the cutter away from the bore, with a clipped cut? Or different depths of cuts? I have tried going 1/4 of the bore across and it was pretty close to the scoop cut. I am expecting the 45 to be a different animal though, time will tell. I am sending my m...
