tubless can, blast chamber material
tubless can, blast chamber material
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?

I can't think of single reason not to continue with 17-4
The only reason after 243 years the government now wants to disarm you is they intend to do something you would shoot them for!

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

I have a stick of 1-1/2 316 SS DOM tube. I hadn’t thought about using it until now. You could weld your 17-4 baffles and mount to it.

I'm wondering how well joining 316 and 17-4 would work
Re: tubless can, blast chamber material
Use 309L rod for filler if needed. I dont think you would have a problem with just fusion.
