Make some powder funnels, great practice! I know of no way to machine an entire baffle on the lathe without turning it around....on second thought, there is a way, but it's not a very good way. You'd end up holding it by just the tip. and having to drill a deep hole that my wander off center....a lo...

So do you put the baffle in a fixture to machine the "inside" I'd like to see pics of you setup for doing the other side of the baffle. Or do you just re indicate it in once you do the front. My can design has 11 baffle for .308 seems like I may reduce that a bit.. I machine the bore thru...

I got a stob off of eBay 2x6 I think for $60.

Pm inbound.

I did not think this was an argument. I'm sorry you feel that way.

The majority of your cons do not apply to my set up. I'm not sure what rail you've had these issues with, but the seekins rail I'm sporting on this gun seems very thought out, design wise. Not trying to start a pissing contest here, but I like this rifle. I've got a short one also from AAC, but I pr...

It's all personal preference anyway. If I set up my stuff to "look cool" anyway then I'd be a mall ninja vs. a true shooter. :lol: I'm still not finding any "negatives" about this setup though. At least with a direct thread silencer. Qd would be crappy to unscrew I guess. Heat is...

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/kyle03865/20140624_084012_zpshmvmjkb1.jpg My shooting technique involves reaching for out on the forearm. Without the under the handguard silencer mount, my SBR would be hell to shoot correctly.....for me. It's funny to me that people are still doing this. V...

I would start at .060" above projectile diameter. With that generic answer given. I tailor my thru bore based on the concentricity of my cans, but it's likely not as easy to check on a monocore. I've made one very very tight bore on a rim fire can, but it was absolutely perfect on the runout. T...

Jim from your YouTube comments here, thanks for reminding me to come over here. Great build! Any lessons learned from turning Inconel? How was it compared to the 6al-4v? I'm pretty comfortable with 6al-4v now it seems that as long as you take your time I find that it works pretty easily. What is yo...

Well, I thought I was the only person who dealt with such stupidity on a regular basis. I don't judge them, but rather feel blessed that I have the ability to think, speak properly, and comprehend most everything in my environment. the other day I was walking down the sidewalk by the grocery store a...

I think from a engineering point you would have a reinforced chamber and not a combined thickness chamber I could be wrong. I'm no engineer, but I definitely fit deeply inside the realm of "mad scientist". If the spacer is snugly fit between the blast baffle, and the rear cap, and is a so...

Looking at my Specwar that's what I figured. So the blast chamber is actually Stellite? The tube isn't taking the pressure? Blast chamber is not stellite, the baffles are stellite. So the 316SS tube is able to contain that pressure? How can I be sure my 316SS tube can take the pressure from a 10&qu...

No

What was your wall thickness on the tube? And how did you get the engraving done?

.070" thickness on tube.

and I have a deal worked out with the jeweler next to my drugstore. I trade drugs for engraving services.

I'm not real good at predicting the future. but I gotta tell you I saw this coming from way out and I stockpiled accordingly way before the panic.

I have been smiling the whole way through just waiting for things to come back.

not to mention the shooting daily. all calibers, no worries.

Thanks, I'll see what I can cook up this weekend.

I am coming from the background that I knew absolutely nothing about machining before I got into silencers and form one submissions. I could definitely see someone who was in my previous situation taking an interest in this while still keeping it legal. But, I know the spirit of this thread was ther...

I'm a bit confused on the dual caliber are you talking about having different barrels pointed different directions? personally I think a single shot something would be fantastic. simple is sometimes beautiful. Its not like you wouldn't be able to follow up with a quick draw of the 38 in your front p...

Seems legit......As long as you don't make a silencer out of it. It just shows how stupid stupid laws are. I'm all for a decent world. you know: don't murder, don't steal, don't rape, etc. but it gets kinda silly when you make an adult buckle their seat belt or get a fine. or you can't spank your ch...

Welcome!

You have some studying to do!

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/kyle03865/20140604_122304_zpszdtgd1nz.jpg Well, I dumped a mag thru it at a semi rate of fire. It didn't come apart, get loose, spontaneously combust, or otherwise die. Accurate, lightweight, and quiet, and it still looks cool to me. I'm heading to the engra...

Have you actually seen a can damaged directly from this after firing? Yes I have on multiple occasions. 1 of them the threads failed and blew the end off the can, another ruptured in the blast chamber and another ruptured injuring the shooter and a bystander. Calibers ranged from 9mm through 308. T...

That is "flame anodizing". Not recommended for anything requiring any strength as it damages the structure of the titanium. Looks pretty on knives and pens and the sort but that should ever be done to a silencer tube! I would use extreme caution when shooting that thing, BAD things can ha...

This is what it looks like when your cup runneth over with winning.

Great build!
