When doing your draft the key to the suppressor is the base that is fixed to the receiver. It establishes the eccentric timing of the outer tube and strength to hold everything from getting knocked out of line. The barrel is put under tension with a section of tubing fixed to the receiver base and p...

Thats a great idea, I was trying to come up with a way to preserve accuracy while still using the offset design, and that sounds like it would do exactly that. Would you vent the smaller tube into the larger somehow? Thanks for the help. The smaller tube dose vent into the larger. The whole idea is...

My idea was to stack fuel filters between spring potatoes, but an Irish mechanic beat me to it... Just kidding. My brilliant idea was to make a monocore out of a piece of rifled barrel so the whole thing could be chambered in a 12 or 10 Gauge shotgun, O/U, side by side, single shot, etc. I would be...

Hello Everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I am in the process of building 3 Delisle 'Commando' Carbine inspired integrally suppressed 45ACP bolt actions (I have the stamps in hand) and I am for the most part staying true to form, however, I would like to consult the experts here to see i...

need to converse with those who understand them more and may have an idea whether my concept has potential to work A decade or more ago I ran across a guy who was so secretive that he never did this. He applied for a patent and was granted it without issue. He was so thrilled with his invention tha...

Can I be of any help Chris.

Makes sense, Since im going to swap the can onto 3 different uppers I will need to make a mount that i can install on all 3 uppers. Any ideas for the internal threads for the endcap? My biggest caliber is 45acp What set of threads on the endcap do i do first? Internal threads for installing it then...

I have a rotary table i can mount a milling vice on, and i have several small milling vices. By a jig, do you mean a square Al block with a circle cut out the same size as the baffle that can hold a baffle? I can certainly make one. It seems like I should make it out of stainless so I will. I will ...

Hello all Here’s the story… I shot my HK w AAC ti rant 45 can and then I went to hospital. I was there for sometime and after I was discharged almost 2 years went by before I was healthy enough to clean it. I’ve been in and out of hospital during this time. I shot 200rds of factory ammo thru it. Be...

If you are asking if someone can build a adapter this is the right section to post in. A print would help.Adapters can only screw into a end cap but never replace one.

I cant wait to get started (but i will because i dont want to go to prison) My fingerprints should be at the BATFE tomorrow I have some of the material ordered and am sourcing the rest. End pieces are ordered. I will use Metals supermarket for the dom tubing Ebay is the cheapest i have found 17-4 s...

The rule of thumb is 0.060" over bullet diameter for asymmetric baffles and 0.040" for symmetric.
The rule was based on my thumb.

Smaller diameters have been used in the past that decrease the SPL figures at the expense of accuracy.

Well if I can find a good print for a K I will do that one then. When I said M I was thinking of the 2 pieces cone with a spacing shoulder. That would definetly be easier to build. I plane on making the outer sleeve out of 4130 maybe the inner one as well. Do the baffles need to be made from stainl...

That design looks good, hopefully I have the skill to pull it off I will go with the M baffle. Is the internal cone usually cut with a countersink? I have watched where a countersink was used. How many M baffles can I get in a 8” can? The M is harder to machine than a cone with a spacing shoulder. ...

Have you a stamp!

K baffles are great and can be machined from mild to wild with variable performance. Current cone baffles are possibly the easiest to reproduce for performance but many are needed. The Omega baffle and its complicated porting is possibly the most difficult to execute well. You should ask permission ...

Thanks for the reply. I dont really have anything against Ti, I have heard its hard to machine and expensive. My form 1 was for an 8" length can. I planned on a 1.5 inch diameter but i can make it a larger if thats better. Sounds like i will need a mount for each caliber I had read that as the...

Hello, first post Im a long time lurker. I finally sent in my 1st Form 1 request yesterday so im gathering some info about materials and such. I have a lathe (grizzly 12-36) and bridgeport mill. I would call myself an advanced beginner when it comes to machining. My first can will be a fixed mount ...

While you are waiting for the stamp I can suggest that you use short sections of tubing on either end of your core to provide indexing & spacing between layers. Might as well draw up the design for BATFE along with a detailed description at this point.

Hello everyone, I've been lurking on your forum for months now. I feel like I already know many of you. About 6 months ago I had an inspiration for a new type of firearm silencer. It didn't look like anyone had tried anything quite like it before. The original idea was that it would "crash&quo...

Endcaps go on the end of the tube away from the firearm. I believe that you are referring to the mount. He may be referencing a earlier post of mine where the end caps bore is oversized and made so flash hiders/brakes can be fitted in various calibers limiting bore size. Its similar to the mounting...

I think you will be happy with the extension. You may wish to add a thread protector as a final touch. Drop me a line on your progress.

I'm not totally clear on how the barrel is fixed to the receiver but I see the difficulty now in adding a suppressor. The least involved way it to turn and thread the muzzle forward of the alignment lug on the barrel then silver solder a .500x28tpi extension to it. You may need to open the muzzle nu...
