The piece lying beside it - is that a muzzle brake the rear of the can will thread over or is it going to be permanently attached to the rear/inside of the can? It is beautiful.

What kind of steel and the wall thickness? Thanks.

It's a muzzle brake that's about 6" inside the can and is what the barrel will attach too, and on the other end of that piece is the rear end cap and barrel bushing.

If it works well get a patent on it. nice looking so far but only the ears can tell how good it is.

The tube profile has patents pending.

So AAC are the only ones that will be able too put any steps in a tube ?

jimmym40a2 · Post by **jimmym40a2** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 11:54 am

So the step downs......how much is it steped down with out comprimising the thickness of the outer tube?

You don't think someone could challenge that for obviousness? "Well, we want this can to weigh less... why not thin out the tube where the pressure is lower?"

Kevin/AAC · Post by **Kevin/AAC** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 3:05 pm

Anyone can challenge anything that they can afford the legal bills for...

lawless · Post by **lawless** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 3:52 pm

So even if he doesnt sell it it couldnt look like an AAC profile?

A patent is only as good as your ability to fight for it.

jimmym40a2 · Post by **jimmym40a2** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:39 pm

Why would anyone mess with a form 1 (sue) can they are not mass producing them...........

Ehh i might be wrong ,,but someone suggested the can should be patented
And the response was that the profile was already pending/waiting for the patent

You can not patent something that is already pending

I dont think AAC will lose any sleep if / when you make you can

Your very right Wolf, I may have taken it the wrong way. I had no intentions of patenting it.
