Put some small chamfers (.010-.015) on edges, and put radii in transitions (where the tip radius of the cutting tool would be) and you will some very professional looking models. If it means anything to you I draw tools, fixtures, and Gauges, almost all day at work. Those little touches set your mod...

It's well documented that a wet can is quieter than a dry can, but is a cold can quieter than a warm can? For example if I were to shoot the same guns, same cans, same ammo, etc, but one can has been in my refrigerator for an hour and the other can is room temperature (say 70F) will there be a sign...

Make the cone actually size, and promptly saw it in half. Be sure to Not tell us how it went

I'm going to drill and tap 2 holes 90 degrees apart.

1 to obscure the orifice, and a second hole for brass set screw to lock the orifice screw down. Just like the seekins.

Ideally the gas adjustment would be toward the muzzle so you can adjust with hand guards in place

make the mount out of stainless. years of happy mounting and dismounting will ensue

my eform 1 took less than 90

The ohio firehouse I've been to. I have never heard someone say they were eye-f*ckin so many times in one day. I don't mind really, had a few good laughs that day

Ever been around a fire house?

Those are some salty SOBs

I love the chuckles at the end

I've been in the same boat, I spent 45 minutes after my shift ended, designing an interrupted thread quick disconnect coupling

Don't tase me bro. I plan on notifying when my eform clears to change from 5.56 to 300blk

did your smith run a die of the threads to clean them up?

You do realize this is a 9 year old thread right?

These aren't really impressive, but sort of fun. hand-crank "jaws of death" http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i328/rmartz7/427433_10150603278264067_560160279_n_zps93068235.jpg and a tiny 2 cylinder compressed air engine, controlled with a microcontroller and electromagnetically actuated ...

well this thread has gone full retard

Capt. Link, thanks for the info! We should be able to keep tolerances +- .015 at the very least with our machining abilities here or if we decide to get the baffling machined elsewhere it should be similar. I fit as many baffles in there as I was comfortable having while maintaining about a 1/16 in...

I have some I600, and its not super fun to cut, cutting x750 sounds rough. Honestly, the inconel is probably best for erosion resistance, as such, I would use it for the front few. I am building a 308 can now, my first 3 baffles will be 600I and the rest will be 304. They cut similarly but the I600 ...

I assume its Ti but there is no mention of the material spec

It is an anodized aluminum tube.

About goddamn time someone used AL in a centerfire can. I wouldn't suggest slapping on your F/A 7.5" 5.56 however

did anyone else notice the tube is anodized?

I assume its Ti but there is no mention of the material spec

Or start deleting posts like crazy.

It deserves a full write up so it can go in the Form 1 thread.

I hope he does, we can edify the community we have here. Any knowledge we gain personally can support us collectively.

I assume since you're in CA you're an 07/02.

Care to post a vid of the can you made?

I like the muzzle flash

I hope so! The only bummer is that the stamp picture is behind the text in the stamp paid box

already started making chips in some inconel 600 for a .30 cal can!
