Porting baffles

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

Porting baffles

Post by 3strucking »

Would there be any performance gained by porting 60 degree cones with .458 Socom / .45acp subsonic?

I am far from an expert, but my gut tells me that porting a baffle that already has a 1/2" hole in it isn't going to do much.

A port will introduce some asymmetric gas flow while the bore hole cannot. The size of the bore will not matter.

If you are using K baffles yes you will gain efficiency. Stagger them when you install them. What’s the diameter of the baffle?

Are spade and K cup baffles better for any specific type of ammo like handgun ammo or rifle,? I been looking trying to find info myself but I haven't found too much about it.

I got told to skip the BS and go for K cups on a 1.25" diameter, 6" long dedicated rimfire build I was contemplating. I've yet to make that plunge, and nobody else I know even wants to enter the NFA realm, so I have nothing to back up the validity of said statement.
