I've got a 9mm micro can from a smaller manufacturer that is pretty much useless. It uses a very crude monocore. It won't function on anything but my super tuned race gun, and is extremely loud even on my .22's. I know what is reasonable to expect from a short can (4" long) but I've had multiple people agree that they can't tell a difference when it's on.
I have a local mfg with proper licensing to do the work. The tube is made from 6061. Am I allowed to create a new mounting system? Possibly create a sleeve inside to maybe increase the pressure rating?
What are my options to increase the performance whether it be sound reduction or caliber rating?
Options for unused suppressor?

As long as your guy retains the original tube and doesn't make it any longer you are within the law.

He can put a sleeve in it as part of the new baffle stack. Depending on how the mounting system is built on the can will determine if it can be modified without incuring a new stamp.Will_M wrote:I've got a 9mm micro can from a smaller manufacturer that is pretty much useless.

Re: Options for unused suppressor?
Has anyone ever successfully sleeved a can to increase the pressure rating?

Yes we have however the ratings is moe limited based on the tube threads than the tube thickness. We did ours a little differently so the tube was inconsequential when we were done with it.Will_M wrote:Has anyone ever successfully sleeved a can to increase the pressure rating?

Can you elaborate what you meant when you said that the way the mounting system is built can determine whether or not it will need a new stamp?Bendersquint wrote:Yes we have however the ratings is moe limited based on the tube threads than the tube thickness.
