What the hell? That's exactly the wrong thing to do. Amazing. ACROSS THE FACE of the entry point of the cone, not parallel to the boreline. Was I unclear?

Looking at the site selling various cone spacers, it seems for the most part that they have enough thickness to allow cutting some clips without opening out the hole diameter. I'd drill a hole in a scrap of wood the same diameter as the front of the cone and set the cone into that, holding it there ...

Even washers can benefit from some 'clipping' as in bending them on a shaped anvil with a punch. One side or two. Redirecting gas/pressure flow is essential if you're after suppression better than what you seem to be suggesting with "could definitely tell" kind of equivocation. Either it's...

Yes, tried a few apps, on a few different smartphone models/brands. None has been capable of metering even the noise level of a relatively quiet airgun accurately, and certainly not a firearm. Jesse James infamously boasted of an 88dB reading for 5.56 through his sweet potato suppressor, which is ri...

With only 1 post it seems likely you're spamming for your product. But in this case I think it's actually cool spam. I haven't implemented magnets to retain a steel gun, but it has seemed to me for some years to be a practical solution for 'in plain sight' concealment of a pistol under a table or de...

#Unity2020 seems a decent alternative. Vanishingly unlikely, so in that sense somewhat akin to the USA itself.

The prosecutor essentially displayed her prejudice in the case 2 days before the gun was confiscated, when she stated at a press briefing that she would do everything in her power to ensure that the couple did not get away with "this" whatever "this" is in her opinion. From vario...

Doesn't seem very thick, so probably not affecting suppressor air volume significantly. It's ugly, but you don't have to look at it in use. If it were mine, I'd coat all the fouled surfaces with lithium grease and shoot it. Suppression improves slightly (though with a bit of smoke), and the white li...

Are you trying to get it clean for some reason or simply removing buildup to allow reassembly with most of the grime out of the way? If you are trying to get it clean what is the upside compared to just getting it sort of clean? This is an important point. It's hard to remove the base filth from al...

Sure. They'll probably go that way with it if they can find a couple of witnesses to confirm Chauvin's animosity. I don't care much at this point. It's all become such a mess, so many hurt and dead as a result of the rioting, so many businesses destroyed. What a waste.

It seems from the latest information I've been able to glean that George Floyd had recently tested positive for COVID-19, had a quantity of fentanyl in his body, had dropped a small ziploc bag full of white powder or pills as he was cuffed and squatted against a wall during the initial arrest, and h...

A well thought out statement, and if it could work that would be wonderful. Unfortunately it seems unlikely to happen. That's because in general we know that the most likely outcome resulting from anything but an overwhelming number of people showing up at the same time would be violence of some kin...

Hey, you don't need to sell me on the notion that police are corrupt. We saw it here at a few major protests against major economic summits (dens of corruption if ever there were!) and when politicians get caught with hands in the till. Police in matching pants and combat boots and heavily disguised...

Not to speak for police in this matter, but I expect that from the abundance of video evidence being circulated from the looting, riots, violent assaults and arson going on the past couple of nights, there may be we dozens of even hundreds of citizens arrested and charged. Protests are fully warrant...

Like I said, probably stupid. Gauges? I don't gotta use no stinkin' gauges! Tap and die man here, winging it on a tiny old TAIG. So far, so good, no baffle strikes (knock wood) and everything I shoot is politely quiet.

Being a guy who's never made a taper mount, but can appreciate the challenge of achieving concentricity with such a short part, I'd make the tube first, threading both ends. Then make the front cap and install that. Only then would I make the rear cap, turning OD then outside threads to fit the tube...

Yeah, problem with really thin material is that it hits critically high temperature very quickly. So if what you're using it on tends to heat up a normal commercial suppressor quickly, it will likely bien through some sort of swarf packing in no time at all. Ultimate example - the finest grade steel...

From what you're describing, it seems unlikely you have any experience with a suppressor. The pressure involved even with something as weak as subsonic .22lr is likely to pull a structure like that apart in short order.

The lathe swarf you're describing sounds basically like a coarser version of pot scrubbing material, the Chore Boy such as Dr Dater used to wrap around the reflex/ported area of the barrel on his integrally suppressed Ruger Mk pistol. Not 'instead of' baffles but 'in addition to' baffles, before get...

If it were an aluminum core it might be worth a few dB to spend some time with a Dremel or other tool to hollow out most of those voids, opening out more air volume. But with stainless... that would be a lot of work. Probably burn through a few Dremel tool motors getting the one job done. But hey, i...

Bit of an aside, bit partially relevant. A couple of years ago I made a .22lr can with 1.375" OD 6061 tubing, 0.65" wall, and 3 x 60 degree single-clipped cones, with an OAL of about 9" and internal contained volume length of 8". What I was after was testing what maximum volume w...

Why would I screw around with a meter that I know for an absolute fact cannot pick up the peak impulse of a gunshot, suppressed or not, with any degree of reliability? Nobody was asking you to use such a meter. You have graciously provided accurate metering of your own manufactured suppressors for ...

Its clear to me that even after ecco took the time to say what i was going to you guys still don’t understand how sound is measured. The numbers u get from the random decibel meters yall have r doing nothing more then spitting out a random number. Like pulling numbers from a hat woth ur eyes closed...

Enough larger that you don't get baffle strikes but not so large that suppression isn't great. And even without impacting the baffles, surface effects are a thing. With a 1/4" hole accuracy can suffer due to pressure feeding back from baffles, depending on baffle shape and proximity of the bull...
