I find those baffles and designs quit interesting as one of my first cans for a .223 was made in a similar design. I wish now I had compared it to my other cans at the time. Iron.Maiden, Do You recall where you found this design? this baffle '' design '' is all around internet , i know ops-inc uses...

here an simple design of a 308 can , not proved yet ..with cancellation method in mind

www.bimba.com...? interesting site .

Interesting thanks I guess you mean the for holes to be at the wide end of the cone drilled through the wall and equally spaced 90 deg around the diameter ? You would not care to PM the name of the little bird ? I have had some great advice from some of the guys on here. I guess the other good thin...

Here you go gents, I have been slaving over a hot tube and come up with a draft design AND I drew it in inches this time :lol: Sorry I am not that good with Cad and just have an old copy of Autocad The over all sizes are just about set by my friend who wants the can Any thougths on the internals, t...

better straight cones ...a stepped cone is heavier than a straight one , many F1 designs use 60 deg. cones ....few of them are quite effective .

here latest news ....new 308 ones

can someone help me with a ciener design ? i'm planing to make a half-integral or..a two point mount 308 can , a non-expensive one , i'v heard good things about ciener design with a steel blast baffle and aluminium ones the rest , i would really appreciate some help on cone angles and spacer lengths .

hoop, about those baffle pics :D Might not be the best idea. Buy one and cut it open. haha...nice answer Hoop but... do not get it wrong Hoop , curiosity dies with us ... . although i think is nothing special inside more than we already seen around , i understand the commercial and that's your job ...

thanks man , worth trying .

great, thanks , but i wonder if it works in small cones by 0.078 thick sheet ?

any pic just to get the idea . thanks

I doubt you will get to 60 deg but I had some good results with stainless washers with small centre holes, then pressing various steel balls through, as the ball size went up the cone pressed deeper. Could be good for experimenting with little or no tooling costs Cheers that's the idea Enfield .......

yes ...progressive i mean that it needs more than one stamp ,
maybe two or three steps to complete it.
cone can be broken because of deep heat
so i though about asking, if someone has experience.

i will appreciate some advice on stamping a stainless 60 degree cone .
can be made with a single stamp or ..it's a progressive ?
Eddy says thank you

yes ,elite iron are quiet , but there are some other things that completes a very good can , which is weight and one of the most important ..poi shift . if you need a can just to shoot without noise is one thing , if you are a serious shooter ,accuracy is needed . i'm telling that because i used to ...

go with full AAC Cyclone and never look back, inconel baffles , lightweight ,very good accuracy and quietest metered in two other sites .

like drill holes, cut scoops & turn off some of the metal.
madbear

this.

maybe you are bear... but sure you are not mad

in this case , do not weld the end cap , if it's not as quiet as you expecting you have the possibility for any change .

looking at spacers , it looks a cone or stepped cone baffle stack , i watched the video , impressive noise reduction

40 monocore

better if you say it worked hard in gym, diet is for fags .
Delta.... i admire your determination .

This reminds me a Honore de Balzac phrase '' Stubborn are magnificent ''

actually Delta the point was totally another thing i wasn't meaning who is the best by the way ....cyclone is light , quiet and has some more accuracy , but i think that nothing is quieter than a well made so called K - baffle , yes ..are a little bit heavy and maybe with some poi shift because of n...

If K's provide the best in terms of performance then why does NO commercial manufacturer use them for this application? Even the manufacturers that don't care about the weigh of their can? If they were the best they would be produced for commercial sale, they aren't; the cones are thats why they ar...

be smart and do not waste your time and money on things you do not know , if you wan to copy something go with old m42k , it was( is ) a great can , only three baffles , if you want it quieter... short a little bit the blast chamber ( i do not think you are going to make a qd can ) and add another b...
