Form 1 Finished
K, got it done
1 inch 316 stainless tubing with .049 walls
304 stainless for internals
Just over 6.5 inches overall length
Tried to copy a Spectre
If there is anyone near northern idaho that has one, I want to compare

I can shoot it with a wipe at the end, and it is scary quiet. I am proud of myself for not having any machining training, and being a poor 20 year old college student.

Re: Form 1 Finished
Thank you. I think i am going to get it powder coated black some time this next week or two.

Re: Form 1 Finished
See if a local gunsmth can stainless blacken it for you. Powder coating may fill the stamping on the tube in,causing more headaches.

Black oxide may also be an option. Great work!

Re: Form 1 Finished
Good looking stack. Did you turn each one manually, or were they done on CNC?

Re: Form 1 Finished
lucky for me, it was all manual. so it took a hell of a lot longer than i wantedWicked wrote:Good looking stack. Did you turn each one manually, or were they done on CNC?

Re: Form 1 Finished
It was good handle cranking practice then, eh? You're only making a few, so nothing wrong with kickin' it old school. Looks like you learned something from it as they all look good. Seriously, they look great. You should be very pleased with the results.

Re: Form 1 Finished
well, for the endcaps, I just free handed the length, and the thread relief. and for everything i used the mill for i free handed it.
But i did actually pay attention to the graduations on the lathe, and it made everything a hell of a lot easier

Re: Form 1 Finished
What is the total weight of it?
If you are being shot at you have the ultimate responsibility to shoot back and eliminate that threat.
Re: Form 1 Finished
Man,that is nice work!I'm thinking I'd like to build one thats similar,only maybe like 5.5" and with an aluminum tube.Would you be willing to share some basic dimensions on the baffles?I and probably a lot of others would sure appreciate it.-Mike
Re: Form 1 Finished
I don't have a scale to measure it accurately, but solidworks estimates it at 8.3 ouncesTactical Machinist wrote:What is the total weight of it?

used a 5/8 inch 60 degree countersink for the inside
baffles are about .040 thick
used a 3/16th endmill and free handed the scoops and holes.

Re: Form 1 Finished
I'm very interested in your design. I've been drawing up some stuff on Solidworks myself and testing it out on FloXpress. May I please get a copy of your SW assembly and check it out on the simulator? I want to see the comparison between putting in all baffles vs baffles and spacers (which is what I have drawn up currently)
