Somewhere I read that beside three main types of suppressors, lets call em the
"reflex / advanced baffle"
"simple baffle / disc & spacer" and
"hush puppy / wiper" type,
there has been a forth type using just steel mesh / steel wool. Is such a construction an urban myth or does it really work? Didn't the High Power HD use that principle, or was steel woll just used for the integral part of it's silencer?

That's surprising. The monolith is fully welded and sealed as far as I understood.... I don't know how that jives with mesh packing that sort of does eventually need to see replacement.AAA wrote:green0
Not true, got a customers Mark White pocket rifle in earlier this year - it's a recent manufactured one. Take off the can and what do i see iin the back? Wire mesh - no s--t.

It works fine, the problem is that it eats volume, and leaves less room for carbon to go, so it results in shorter suppressor life than solid baffle designs in my experience. Of course that's what? a 1.25x6" design?
The sterling is obsolete. AWC is sort of an odd company in sound suppressors. Stuck in the past.
Chore-Boy has been used along with brass wool, steel wool burns up too quickly to be useful.
Also different types of screening such as window screen which is not the best, brass is better for absorbing heat along with different mesh sizes of steel, stainless lasts longer and is easier to shape.
But this is mostly old tech stuff.
Today's baffle systems are much much better imo.
