Dimensions...tac 65...(Pic heavy)

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.

awesome. I didn't know some cans were built like that. Thought they were all a single piece baffle w/a tube around it. I bet silencers like that one would be easier to clean.

sry, but I am new to silencers.
why is there a hole at an angle to the main hole for the bullet?

I have only seen ones with holes straight throught all the way around the flat peice.

It allows gas to enter around the cone utilizing the volume of the can and causing the gas to "swirl" slowing it down before exiting. other wise you have wasted volume with out the holes.

uhhh im not trying to be a stick in the mud or anything, but did you ask craig if you could publish his tac-65 specs on the internet?

a lot of manufacturers would have a cow if somebody done this to their designs.......

No- I don't know Craig and I'm not manufacturing cans for sale. I'm sure any manufacture that is serious about producing silencers has bought one and has the dimensions. (as well as dozens of other manufactures) I posted this for the F1 can maker so he has a baseline to get ideas from. I'm sure the amount of F1 cans is minimal and not putting anyone out of business. He makes a great product at a great price and this is not about hurting anyones business. If I made a can I would expect others to look at it and do the same. His great price and customer service will keep him in business for years to come.

there is no way anyone could keep from posting those on the net, assuming they were bought in fair commerce and not some sort of "trade secret"......

the net is full of drawings, diagrams, pics of parts and modifications of those parts........

IF he had posted specs THEN he would indeed be in trouble. To post specs he would have to have the prints used by the manufacturer. But he didn't post any specs. He posted some dimensions. There is nothing wrong with that, especially on a design like this that is pretty much an industry standard.

Can you tell I'm frustrated with my -65? I hardly use it any more. :(
ive cleaned mine at least a dozen times, i wouldnt have one that could not be taken apart.

simply take a dull knife and scrape the lead off......or a small flat screwdriver.

works fine and last a long time.

Most thru holes on .22lr cans I have seen were .250"

I see this one has a .275" thru hole.
Most .22lr cans have .264 holes. The .25" holes are a good way to trash cans. The tac cans are .275, and my QD can is .281 at the muzzle.

The Tac 65 has a 1.1" tube, rather than a std 1" tube. aparently (according to these pictures) it's ~.069" wall, so they are only picking up .050" of actual useful space with that.

-----------------------

When you use a calipers you want to measure ID curved objects with the bladed parts of the anvils, not the thick flats. Obviously the thick flat isn't giving you a good measurement on the ID curved surface.

AKA http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z101 ... 0_0589.jpg

Actually,there are a set of ID anvils on the opposing side of the caliper (those pointy guys going the opposite direction of the main set), of course they may not get past the thread Minor diameter region of the tube.

I wonder if someone cut up an AAC suppressor and posted pics of the guts here if the thread would last.

I don't think so.

Nor do I think it should. I think people should buy a product or make one of their own design. Not copy another.

And esspecially not copy a Tac 65. It's not even really a good suppressor.

I didn't post them for people to copy per se but as a baseline for there own designs. Let's say your making one and you wonder....what do others use as a (blank) dimension. it gives you something to compare to and modify.

Right I suppose that makes sense.

When you look at stuff like this though, it just strikes me as something someone will more likely attempt to copy.

The companies have blueprints of parts that are used for machining and these documents are almost always marked "confidential and proprietary" for good reasons.

Obviously people can buy and copy too. I understand that.

They have. It was a Pilot with pics of the internals. It's still around here somewhere

As soon as pics are posted it's quite easy to pull dimensions from just the pics...

All you need is one refrence dimension and the rest is easy.

Well since not everyone is a Japanese photo-wizard with a chinese copying background and graphical arts degree, I think things like this are much closer than simple pictures of items.

It's just two different schools of thought. People who design things and understand those exact designs should rightfully be their property, and people who think s--t should be a giant free for all, with everyone copying anything they want to a thousandth of an inch.
