This is my first form 1 can so go easy on me

Its a 22 can. Absolute Brick Shithouse. I know its big and heavy but i want it to last forever.

I will get pictures of it in action soon

Weight: 13oz

Materials:

--Tube: 304 Stainless
--Baffles and Endcaps: 303 Stainless

Can Assembled

Guts Spilled out

Endcaps

Blast baffle and spacer

Baffle Face

Classy "Upskirt shot"

Special thanks to Capt. Link for his advising

Well done sir ! You should be very proud of your work.I love the end caps and your machine work is crisp, can't wait for the range report.

Very nice!

Are the 303 parts that bright in person or does the photo lighting make them look whiter/brighter? Reason I ask is my 303 doesn't have that same bright color - it looks a little grayer - closer to the coloring of CRS than aluminum after machining.

I like your endcaps a lot too.

Thanks for the kind words gents!

They actually are quite bright. I take a really light skim pass and then use aluminum oxide "scotch bright" to make them shine

Looks good. It definitely won't be going anywhere for a long long time.

Any reason why you made the blast baffle with that additional spacer and not just one unit?

I made the blast baffle then realized my tolerances stacked up a little different than my drawings because I made some changes on the fly. Subsequently i made the spacer

Had the pleasure of shooting a few rounds through it tonight and its quiet. Once I get a good video I will have it up. I'm very pleased

Excellent work....what is your plan for a finish? You will need sunglasses with that thing outside the way it is.

I have not settled on a finish yet, I may just leave it brushed til it gets scratched up and then duracoat it

The nice thing about a bead blasted finish is once it shows use, throw it back in the blast cabinet and its good as new.
How bout a pic of the inside of the mount? Nice job by the way!

I will post one when I get home this evening, There may still be room to shave some weight out of the caps

Inside of the Mount, with a bit of carbon/debris

What is your over all length, length of baffles and tube OD?
Also, why is the one baffle so different? (Sorry, kind of a newbie)
Looks awesome!!! Can we take a peek at some of your drawings?

Stunned by the quality, machining, presentation, and being able to
'not hear' the final results. And a pat on the back for the good Capt.
again showing his generosity of spirit.

You make this site the joy it is and source of the satisfaction derived by being part of.

Best!
