Jailbreak Groupbuy!!!! 215 returned!

[CThomas]

Are the newer ones in the last pic?

YES

[Bendersquint]

SO glad I did this! Those last two got a good cleaning. Are those an example of older vs newer Evo cores? They look different.

Can't wait to get mine back. Been doing some reloading for it

Yup old versus new Evo baffles. The newer ones are like mini TiRant baffles! Pretty sweet!

Actually, the EVO baffles were the inspiration for the TiRant.

Figured that was without saying.

Mine is the old core Evo ending in 83.

A couple of observations:

That's some pretty good erosion on the blast baffle for such a low round count and shooting only factory 147 grain ammo (no WinClean).

My 2-3 day Kroil soaks after shooting did about as much to clean the inside of the Evo as I expected...

I saw that also. What is the blast baffle on the older Evos made out of?

Aluminum.

[Bendersquint]

The cleaned baffles still have little bits of carbon on them. Think that can ever come off?

Absolutely, we just don't have the time to give it a solid cleaning, the light cleaning is so we can verify the mating surfaces and verify endcaps lenghts, it also takes off about 90% of the junk....

It will all come off with some elbow grease and time.

But regardless of this they are phenomenally cleaner than they were when we extracted them.

[IB Slingin]

Got any pictures of a TiRant? Curious to see the before and after pics. Also the end cap!!

[FL_Tactical]

Sweet! Can't wait to see the endcaps!!

No doubt, they look outstanding! Night and day.

+1. Very interested in sending my Tirant 9....

That's typical of an aluminum blast baffle.

The current ones (since at least 2008 I think) have stainless blast baffles...

Yep.. Mine has the SS baffle then the next ones were eroding. (waiting on pics!)

[FL_Tactical]

I'm curious what my alum baffles look like. Hopefully the SS blast baffle took the brunt of it and the alum ones are ok.

[Bendersquint]

Will admit it up front we have been busting butt lately so a couple cans didn't get photographed before the cleaning...for this we apologize, those cans weren't bad at all though.

Some more.....

Pilot ending in 12.....

Blast baffle after cleaning.

Complete stack after a dustoff(light cleaning to see what we were working with).

Evo ending in 59.....

Evo ending in 16.....(really bad one!)

Whoever has said that centerfire pistol cans don't need cleaning has never seen the inside of a centerfire pistol can! PERIOD!

Awesome work!

Send me that email Bender

Perchance was there a Trident 9 in that "not bad" group?


From those pics, it would appear that people been pouring lard, raw sewage, and used motor oil in their suppressors.

[JohnInNH]

I think people are making a HUGE mistake when they put any OIL in their silencers. Ed's red, Kroil, or the like. It will permeate the carbon and make it impervious to H2O. I bet my guts look fairly good when cracked .. it is the erosion and ability to service which pushed me to make it serviceable.

My system of shooting wet and never letting it shoot dry ... then washing it in hot soapy water to remove the carbon/lead fouling I feel is the best method for a can you cannot dip.

Or so we will see! I hope he takes a close look at my low round count Evo-9 with the moderate WinClean usage as a benchmark. Some of the baffles look as if oil was baked on making things WORSE.

The Tridents WERE photographed just not posted online yet. They were pretty bad! I think the design of the Omega baffle retains alot of junk along with retaining the noise.

One Gen1 Trident and one Gen2 Trident, some surprising things will be revealed on them.......poke poke, tease tease!

Not sure why yer holding out on showing off yer best work yet.....

[Bendersquint]

Major doublepost!

Evo ending in 51.....

This one had TWO blast baffles in it, one SS and one Al(number 5 in the stack!)
Blast baffle before.....

Blast baffle after(of only the SS baffle).....

Before of the complete stack.....

Closeup of some terrible baffles.....

After of the complete stack.....


Trident ending in 14.....kinda surprised me that its Type2 anodizing!!!!!

Blast baffle before(it was stuck to the second baffle for quite awhile).....

Blast baffle after we got them apart.....

Before of the complete stack.....

After of the complete stack.....



Trident ending in 36.....(I was confused these were only after shots, but shows some serious erosion!)
Blast baffle.....

Complete stack.....

[garandman]

WooHoo!!! Nice work. Sounds like the Tridents needed the most work.

Questions -

Whatta ya make of the Type 2 anodizing? Is that a good or a bad thing?

When you mail them back -

Do you notify the owner so they can be looking? Do you send them signature required? What carrier?

Ouch..........SWR advertises the finish is----Type III Hardcoat Anodized
Do they have some false advertising going on ?
How can you tell ?
Inquiring minds need to know.

Type 3 can only be a dark grey or black; so if its any other color its Type2.

I am pretty sure the tubes are Type3 HC though.

I won't comment on anything else.
