I just ran across this item (picture attached) I wonder if this could be used as a wipe (porous) compressible I would say. Maybe be used as the last baffle at the end of the tube to compress and hold things tight?? I think it would gunk up over time so if not replaceable it might have little value.
The one item is sized almost ideal, 1.375 diameter and a .375 hole, might work?? Might be a bad idea but throwing it out there.  " />

Also wasn't worried about creating a weak spot in the tube, as there's plenty of material on the YHM adapters. For the next three there was a different reason. I engraved the end caps. They're three different calibers, but all with the same thread length. Let's just say no matter how I put them together, the cans always match the paperwork. |

I meant strategic for the ATF rules.....not "ninja strategic." |

Yes, correct as long as you get the 20 TPI model, also fits the Apogee D tubes. ETA I was just at the DM site, they make this for the internal and external threaded D size, 1.500 O.D. is for the internal threaded D tube. |

Just a quick question is it at all possible to build a can that can accept wipes like the Dead Air Ghost? It seems like wipes would be available to buy because of this can coming to market. Yes. Just put a spacer in where the wipe would be? Probably. Their end cap has a little notch/ridge that the wipe tucks into against the inside face of the end cap. Then, there's a dedicated baffle that snugs up again the end cap, which is what your spacer idea would accomplish. Thanks, This stuff is really cool.

Form 1 approved and built 9mm suppressor.
Started with a SDTA 7.6" titanium tube, titanium end cap, and Gemtech booster. Finished off right at 9" long. Machined 1 17-4 clipped K baffle and 6 7075 clipped K baffles for the stack. Im pretty happy with it. End cap being done 
Was in the process of clipping the baffles. 
On its host for now till my Glock gets a threaded barrel. Finished off with Magpul flat dark earth C series Cerakote.

Looking forward to final outcome. The rifle arrived TODAY. The suppressor is done and engraved. It ended up weighing 20oz because I was able to get 10 baffles in there instead of the 9 that I was planning on. Very excited to get out and shoot it. My scope is the Viper PST 6-24 FFP (EBR-2C reticle). Vortex rings and caps. Vortex is doing cool things with matching scope covers and "dope disks" with ballistic information laser cut into them. This is my first venture into the "long range" stuff and I am ready to get started.....pics to follow with weekend. |

Griffin Taper Mount - did you go with the GA minimalist one chamber? If so, how long did your BC in up on this build. I am debating 1 or 2 chamber brake, 2 chamber would be about 2.3" BC - I have not figured what I would do for the BC if I go 1 chamber GA. ETA - just spotted TMB in your post, how long is your BC? |

Not sure on the length of the BC.....but it is pretty small. I actually machined the stainless steel blast baffle for a "perfect fit" so don't plan on using a spacer in the blast chamber. Just going with a friction fit and then will let a bit of "soot" build up in the BC. I went this way on my 5.56 can and its working great so far. I'll try and post some detailed pics of the BC size later today. |

Is there a significant sound difference between using formed freeze plugs and 60 degree cones from ZmachineworX?
Just wondering if its worth the money. |

Gents,
I'm looking to start a can, as soon as my form 1 clears. Here's what I have for specs so far SDTac D-cell 7.6" Ti Griffin adapter D-cell end cap i Aluminum Zmachineworx Ti cones specifically, the 1.355" diameter ones, since if my research is correct, the ID of the Ti tube is 1.36", so i could imagine these would fit relatively snugly. Considering the skirt is .688", and I want to go with a 1.5-2" blast chamber, I'll need 7 or 8 cones, I'll probably go with 8 on the side of caution. Here are a few of my questions, how much of the inner length do the threads from the endcap and adapter take up? Does my build idea sound reasonable? |

If you go SDTA, get your tube then order your cones based upon measurements. The SDTA seem somewhat inconsistent on I.D. Have you looked at Apogee and DM tubes? The endcap threads run around .400 in depth as I recall. Have you been to the Form 1 Boards? |
