Hope that means you'll stick around and keep this place going.

Glad to have you. Not as busy as it used to be here, but still some good info and good folks stop by.

I've got a few front stuffers myself. I use modern black powder equivilents but it's still dirty

never heard anything about it being made illegal. I'm betting it got so fouled so fast it wasn't worth it

I'm wondering how well joining 316 and 17-4 would work

Just having to bore it out of solid bar. Was hoping stainless in tubing would work.

curious about materials. I'd like to make tubeless can for .556. I have some 17-4 for baffles with integral skirts as spacers. What about the blast chamber section of the can. What Stainless will weld to 17-4 cones well?

Easiest way is to buy a can, any can you want to use. Then take a barrel and cut it the length so that with the suppressor disassembled as far as you can, the part that is permanently attached to the barrel measures just over 16" FROM THE BOLTFACE WHEN IN BATTERY to the end of the attached part.

I usually order from Online Metals, mostly because I can drive over and pick up without paying shipping. I also cruise the 'bay and find some deals there.

I don't believe 17-4 commonly comes in tube form. I've made a few suppressors with 17-4 baffles and used 316 as tube. Any particular reason to use the 17-4?

If I did a cone blast baffle instead of a disk, wouldn't I have to make the shelf at 3 or 3-1/2 inches to compensate for the loss of blast chamber volume from the cone taking up room? Also, It's my understanding that fewer baffles and more open internal volume make for a better rifle can? I was alr...

Also, if it's going to live on one gun, just direct thread.

I think more baffles. first baffle as cone not flat in 17-4 is plenty, make it .100" wall thickness. Lots of ways to go. Assuming its living on semi-auto I'd make sure to do 2 things, first get an adjustable gas block, second bore it for 30 caliber. Both of those things will help with back pres...

Yeah it goes to some video about crab fishing.

what effect does baffle spacing have on higher port pressures?

The exclamation point icon in the upper right corner of the post is the report icon.

Hello, I’m wanting a suppressor for hunting. Here is what I’m looking for: A. I’d like to suppress a 350 legend and 45-70. B. I’d also like to get a smokeless muzzleloader some day and suppress it. C. I’d love to hunt with 22lr with it also (about 20 shots a season). What do you recommend for me? I...

Tell us more about yourself, where are you from?

Well, having to approve new members didn't work. There was no way to know who was real and who was a spammer. I think I have the board set up so that anyone can join, but the first several posts by new members must be approved by a moderator prior to them being public. I've been disapproving and del...

Fingerprints and photos are a ATF requirement. In the past a trust or other 'entity' as you say could file without them. The requirements have changed. You can still form a trust, but each 'responsible member" of the trust must submit prints and photos.
No way around it.

I'd call the manufacturer during the week. not a surprise no contact over a weekend. Give them a few days.

You are probably right, he sent me a private message wanting me to help him pick out parts from some solvent trap site.

Just submitted finger prints on a silencer shop kiosk and payed for stamp for a forum 1 and 4. Waiting for approval so thought I'd try to learn as much as I can.
