K baffle port hole placement.

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.

K baffle port hole placement.

Post by Blackhawk78418 »

I've seen the the most common asymmetrical porting hole design but also seeing the port hole in the radial groove. Is there any more designs that are any better at suppressing sound?

The hole in the baffle face is usually held for the blast baffle. The asymmetrical waist vent is used for the typical K, to push gas into the coaxial chamber formed from the K design.

As for "better" designs, everything has it's place. What specific caliber and host did you have in mind?

Oh ok,the hole in the face is for the blast baffle. I have a 300BO pistol with a 7.5 barrel and a Grendel with a 12.5 barrel. Double duty can
