No 338 cans?

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

No 338 cans?

Post by Mercracing »

I've browsed several pages here and there seems to be many 30 cal and 223 cans but I couldn't find one 338 can. Are they that uncommon? Hard to build? I was thinking about doing a Form 1 338 can and was hoping to find some ideas here. Anyone able to help? Thanks for your time.

Look in the completed builds thread, I'm almost certain there's a couple in there. .338s are just really uncommon compared to .223 and .308

They are probably difficult to build successfully. I know that there are effective 50 cal cans, so 338 should be doable.

PM me if you would like some info on it. The best baffle I have found for large magnums by far is the omega style.
