Re: 1.375x24 minor diameter?
Yes i would use the adapter/mount as a guide. You have no idea what the thread spec is on the mount. If you not making things to sell then its better to have a good fit rather than meeting a thread spec

Re: My last form 1 build
I can only speak from my 1 build experience.
If running subs I would clean it every time you shoot which means thread it.
I know at least 1 other person besides me that had to beat the baffles out of his can after 2 range trips

Re: 9mm Form 1 Suppressor w/ AAC Style K-Baffles
Absolutely beautiful job on the baffles and machining for the booster.
Why didnt you clean up the outside of the tube a little?
From your work on the baffles I think you have the ability.

Re: Blast chamber included?
In my limited experience (1 suppressor build under my belt) I would not do this. It would be difficult not impossible to ensure the threads cut on the muzzle attachment on the kaK brake are in the same plane as the threads you are going to cut in the end of the KAK Any update/change in the suppresso...

Re: What is considered a suppressor part
Well i figured it out.
A little googling on my part and multiple threads, some on this forum came up.
The answer at least on this forum is NO. As a form 1 builder you cannot have multiple endcaps, so I will have to modify my design.
I guess its been asked here so often people are tired of replying

What is considered a suppressor part
I want to build a reflex can like a OPS Inc that is on the Mk12 mod 0
I also want to be able to use it on my SBR with a 12" barrel. To do that i would have 2 seperate endcaps to mount the can.
Would the endcap be considered another suppressor.

Re: How many folks still build?

New .223 can design help
For my next F1 I would like to build a .223 can
This will go on a MK18 copy. 12" barrel
I will only be shooting supers out of it.
Stainless or Titanium tube. Stainless internals 7" long
Looking for advice on tube material, wall thickness, baffle type and number.

Re: K baffle length ?
Does the length of the baffle matter? I can make like you suggest with a total length of .7 inches
Does it matter if I use a 60 degree baffle.
.080 sounded pretty thick for stainless How thick do i make the bottom does that matter

Re: Beginning build weight question
Thanks Capt.
I have the inner tubes threaded 28tpi I took the id out to .127 from .125 so I have much to work with.
It’s not Dom tubing more like seamless
Is there a hoop strength formula?
The highest pressure would be 300 BO supersonic

It’s my understanding that I will bore and thread the end cap and thread for the internal tube since I am building a coaxial

Re: Some ? about building first form 1 can
That design looks good, hopefully I have the skill to pull it off
I will go with the M baffle.
Is the internal cone usually cut with a countersink?
I have watched videos where a countersink was used.
How many M baffles can I get in a 8” can?
