Re: Stainless tubing question....

48tpi is a mighty fine thread......sounds like a crossthread waiting to happen if your not careful.....I picked up the tube for the spacers today 1.750 od 304 ss....So they're will be a combined wall of .120 with the spacers and can wall...better safe than a celebrity for blowing up a can! :D

Re: Stainless tubing question....

Re: Stainless tubing question....

I wasnt worried about the seamless....I just figured I'd mention it....But its always good to look at all possibilities. The overall lenght is going to be about 11 inches with about 4 inches over the barrel. My 1st can was a monolithic style so I never thought about spacers.... It would totally suck...

I kept everything aluminum for weight but had to use steel for the threaded part just for wear. I left half the internal volume empty for an expans...
