Re: .22 LR barrel porting.

What is your overall barrel length? Too long a barrel and ports to close to the chamber can give you squibs ( Which you will probably survive if your gun explodes) Putting ports in four inch barrels is not going to buy you much. There are many interrelated factors to consider.

Micro-Ports

I have been contemplating the physics of drilling very small ports ( Tiny wire drill sizes) in a .22 LR/Short rifle barrel. For the sake of discussion, lets say its a bolt or other closed action firearm with no breech gas leakage. The idea being to bleed off gas after the projectile reaches a minimu...

Re: Glock suppressor

The Glock "Tactical Suppressor" ( Wet, wiped, and disposable ) does not use a LID, but it reportedly works okay. Probably being made of plastic makes it light enough to work without the booster. If you could make a very, very light suppressor, you could probably avoid a booster, but it wou...

Re: Washer build

If you are in a location where you can legally build a suppressor and not have to pay a ridiculous tax to do so, than sure, why not? Washers have been used in improvised designs for years, and they kind of work. It is even easy enough to form them into partial cones with a steel ball, a socket, and ...

Re: Feedback on .22 Mono-core design

If this is going to be dedicated to a single rifle, and you can consistently index the suppressor, it seems to me you could go a bit tighter in the bore, say as low as .240 or .250, without risks of strikes and have a concomitant increase in performance. Some people will no doubt yell at me for such...

Re: Superwool anyone?

Correct me if I am wrong, but "Superwool" is designed to be a thermal insulator. It might be able to carry a great deal of lithium grease to act as an ablative, but at the cost of losing one of the primary mechanisms of phase-shifting, i.e., the ability of the liquid ablative to help carry...

Re: Looking for screen washers

Not in every type of can using washers. In every application, they are still essentially consumables, so if someone was going to take the trouble to run up a bunch, it would be prudent to make spares!

Re: Looking for screen washers

If you are dedicated to the originalist design, I suspect you could probably find someone with a water jet cutter that could knock out serious production-level bronze or copper screen washers, or you could just "Design" the washer and send it off to Bokers for production. I suspect that th...

Re: homemade K baffle suppressor

Coastline, How about posting a picture of your gun/launcher? I don't think you will get a steel ball, out of an unrifled barrel, stabile enough to prevent collisions with your suppressor design. If you can get a piece of rifles .22 barrel, you might get good results with a nail blank and an air-rifl...

I am going to assume that Coastline is in a denied area, where he can't walk down to the local sporting goods store and buy a modern firearm. ( Either that, or he is a hard-core iconoclast) Most people who build a weapon like this only plan on shooting one bad-guy and taking a real weapon off their ...

Re: homemade K baffle suppressor

I think he is saying that he has a home-brewed gun that fires an 8mm Ball ( Bearing?) propelled by a .22 nail gun blank, sort of a poor man's improvised firearm. This being the case, I suppose its not surprising that he has a somewhat unstable projectile, probably fired from a smoothbore tube of som...

Well, the price is right...it costs less than many LID's in the US.A. FYI, since I clicked on the link, Aliexpress has sent me ads for that auction about 50 times! If you don't have to pay $200.00 for a tax stamp, the $100.00 can looks even more appealing.
