Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
I am wanting to build a form 1 suppressor for the blackout. Its main purpose will be subs but I want it to handle full house loads also. From what I have read K's would be the best. I plan on stainless for the build. The gun is a a 9" AR pistol. I think OD will be 1.625 if that would be the best. I want it take apart because I will be running cast lead bullets.
Could cones be made to work as well as the k's?
What would be the best length and how many baffles?
I have my form just not sure what length to put on it.
Any help would be great.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Put N/A in the length on the form 1.
I'd make a design similar to the 762sdn6, that can was designed for the blackout if I remember right.
60 degree cones with clipped ends, stainless steel, 1.5" diameter tube, approx 8" OAL, spaced 0.8" apart with an 1.5" blast chamber would be the concoction I'd come up with.....In fact, when my form comes back this is exactly my plan.

You have to declare a length, a suppressor can't not have a length to it. Without a length or caliber designated it will be rejected.Dr.K wrote:Put N/A in the length on the form 1.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
I've seen several post where people had approved form 1s with only the caliber noted. Has this changed recently? I have 3 forms pending with n/a for length as no design had been ....well, designed.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Been that way since the early 90's. some get through but it is required. Think about it this way as well if it wasnt required the why do manufacturers put it on every single form?Dr.K wrote:I've seen several post where people had approved form 1s with only the caliber noted.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
So the cones with clipped ends will perform as well as k's? How much do you take off on the end of the cone?

On supers a clipped cone performs better than k's not the other way around.grrifles wrote:So the cones with clipped ends will perform as well as k's? How much do you take off on the end of the cone?
Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Don't the mfg have to submit a design to the ATF? I would think that is the reason the length is always filled out on a form 3 or 4.Bendersquint wrote:Been that way since the early 90's. some get through but it is required.

But, Form 1 doesn't require prior submission of a design, so no length could be known ahead of time if a design has not been thought up. I have read that form 1s are sometimes rejected for leaving the field blank, but not if N/A is written there.

The length is filled out because it is a legal requirement a silencer has to have a declared length.
Yes the length can be known if you do ANY preparation for your build if you don't know the basics like caliber and length then you should be waiting to submit your form anyways till you have a better idea of what you are doing.
Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
So k's it is. How many and what length are they so I can figure up length of supressor.
Thanks for the help

K baffles make terrible rifle cans. Stick with the cones on anything rifle caliber.grrifles wrote:So k's it is. How many and what length are they so I can figure up length of supressor.

They would have the best shot at being decent with subsonic calibers but I wouldn't even bother, not to mention standard old 60* cones are much easier to make.

Cones are better suited for higher pressure rounds(.223, 7.62AK, 300BLK Supersonics)
He is talking about primarily shooting subsonic 300BLK, therefore K's would be the way to go as they will still handle the supers if fired just won't be as efficient as the cones would have been(with supers).
Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
I'd just make both, and have the endcap threaded so I could swap out the cones for the Ks if I switched my ammo.Bendersquint wrote: K's are better suited for lower pressure rounds(9mm, 45ACP, 300BLK Subsonics)

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Yep....just keep the extra parts on a chain around your neck so they are part of an "industrial" necklace....not silencer parts....that's bound to work out well.
The myopic majority will be our republic's undoing.
Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
If I list length at 10 and it comes out to be 8.5 can I amend the form or just leave it alone?
How many k's would be best? I want to make a flash supressor and a QD mount for it something like YHM.
Thanks for all the help

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Draw the plans BEFORE you submit, so you'll at least have an idea of what to expect and if you run into any snags with your model/print you can make changes without being locked into the length you set.grrifles wrote:If I list length at 10 and it comes out to be 8.5 can I amend the form or just leave it alone?

K-baffles are pretty much set by the diameter you make them. A 60* cone within a given I.D. is going to really be the determining factor with your OAL. Thickness plays a part, but thats where your material selection comes in.
I still vote 60* cones on this one. A k-baffle that can stand up to supersonic if you decide to shoot it with that is going to be heavy out of 300 series, especially if you are looking at a 1.5" can when compared to a traditional cone/spacer arrangement. The flat face and corner radius behind it leading into the cone are where your failures are going to be 90% of the time with a K. Since a cone lacks that, the shape is stronger.

I'm kicking around ideas for the same type of F1 suppressor.grrifles wrote:I want to make a flash supressor and a QD mount for it something like YHM.
I'd really like to go QD... YHM makes a thread protector I was thinking about incorporating to the endcap. I also recently discovered that Simplistic Shooting Soloutions makes a "Brake Shield" that works with the QD YHM brakes. I'd like to get my hands on one to dimension and see what fit is like, but until I find someone that actually owns one, I'd be $70 out of pocket just to evaluate the possibility of using one.
Here's a pic of the SSS Brake Shield:
Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Do the clipped cones work better the a standard 60 cones? How much of the cone is removed?
How much better does a k work then a 60 cones.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
They are 60 deg cones, but the holes are trimmed on one side to cause the gasses tocross jet across the bore line. I clipped mine in my 223 can and got an increase in performance. I plan same thing for my blackout can.

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Waiting on a stamp to come in for my .223 can that I planned on running 60 degree cones in. Can we see some examples of your clipped cones?
Thanks!
Thanks!

What is the best angle on the back of the face of a K baffle?

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
Looking for size of ball mill for scoop. I see its 1/4 for 22lr. So would it be 3/8 for .308

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
General rule seems to be similar dia ball mill to the the bore, hence the 1/4 with 22
Cheers

Re: Supressor for 300 blackout shooting subs
So would a 5/16 be better then a 3/8?

Doesn't apply for the 9, 40 or 45 K baffles, just the 22 baffles.Enfield577 wrote:General rule seems to be similar dia ball mill to the the bore, hence the 1/4 with 22
