Some SDTA titanium B tube specs. These are unmodified parts, all of which are titanium except the freeze plugs.

Tube 7.6" long at 6.13 ounces with an inner diameter of 1.14" (my calipers only go to 2 digits) and an outer diameter of 1.31"

Spacer is 3.98" long at 1.25 ounces with an inner diameter of 1.04" and an outer diameter of 1.12"

Freeze plugs are steel at 0.34" long and averaged 12.6 grams or 0.444 ounces (range was 12.5g to 12.7g) with and inner diameter of 1.01" and an outer diameter of 1.13"

End cap is 0.64" long and weighs in at 1.365 ounces

I got a 1/2x28 thread protector which is 0.64" long as well and weighs 1.224 ounces

JS Tactical makes tools to form and drill plugs.  Pretty pricy, though.

is the .64" the length added when screwed into a tube or the total length of the end cap/adatpter including the threads.

I just got done building my first Form 1 can using an 8" Apogee 1.5" OD Ti tube, DM Griffin Ti adapter, and SPC end cap using SS frost plugs formed on the J&S dies.  My friends and I couldn't believe how well it worked.  My dad and another friend will be using the press to press their baffles for their pending cans!  It's worth it if you want to bridge the gap between cones and plugs formed with bearings or torx bits.

Yeah I just got approval to build my 6 inch 9mm can for my AR. I was going to use SDTA as my 300 blackout can turned out great. I figured I would try DM and everything I need is out of stock. I debated on buying the parts and have them just sit around. Looks like that is what I should have done. Who else is still selling parts and has them in stock?

Just tried, again, to place an order (about the fourth time in as many weeks), and it won't process credit card payment.  I've also sent two emails, neither of which were answered.  I've sent a third email today, we'll see what happens.

It seems Super Precision Concepts is authorized to sell Rusty's RSC baffles. When paired with DHC clipping, they may be the best baffles Form 1 baffle stack builders can get their hands on. This must be pretty recent because I started buying up parts for my form 1 mid may and these definitely were not there when I purchased my end cap from them.

I find it perplexing how commercial silencers are so heavily scrutinized, when it come's to performance and dB claims.
Things like this are said:
"There's no 3rd party testing"
"The wrong meter was used"
"It wasn't done to mil-spec"
"Why wasn't XYZ silencer used for comparison?"

Yet, a bunch of form 1 makers say how great the baffles are (because their ears and friends tell them) and it's taken as the gold standard. And without any testing to verify performance. Especially when you can buy a decent Form 4 suppressor the about the same cost as these "solvent trap" kits. I'm aware of several SOT's who have replicated the designs posted on the form 1 boards (to be the best performing) and weren't beside themselves by the results.

Just an observation. Carry on.

There’s folks who test designs and baffle stacks etc with meters on the forums. And many of the designs are “inspired” by production cans as well. A lot of the cans I’ve seen people make are top notch with quick connect adapters for griffin or sico etc.  I’ve also seen a few mp5SD cans that are diy’d and perform the same or better than the proper ones.  Additionally there’s quite the premium on not wasting 10+ months of your life waiting on a form 4 vs getting a eFiled form 1 in 3-4 weeks.

I form 1’d a can the same week I purchased a Vox and a Ghost because I’d like to go hunting this year with my 300 blackout suppressed and the likelihood my form 4s coming in before 2020 is about nonexistent. One last thing, you can put together a 22lr or even a 9mm can that performs good enough for around $100 + stamp + engraving etc.

You forgot "The meter wasn't placed within .005" tolerance of the right spot."

That's why I used "May be" and "Form 1 builders" There's production cans out there that do better, but we can only build a can once. Not R&D allowed. The "quieter" can might be louder on a meter but punching out a frequency that sounds softer to the shooter, and that can vary from person to person. How is sounds is about the best we get. There's plenty more variables to can building than slapping some awesome baffles in it, but I'm not sure I've run across a Form 1'er who knows what he's doing complaining about the performance of RSC cones. It's always been positive, whether they sent one in for a re-core or duplicated a prior build with RSC cones. Just my observation.

I'll find out myself soon enough. The can I'm waiting for approval on will be using the RSC's, and it's identical to a 60* cone can, just bored out for 30 cal as apposed to 5.56. I'm interested to see if the RSC 30 cal can will sound better than the 5.56 cone can when both used on the 5.56 as I've seen claimed.

And yes, you can spend just as much or more making your own but at least you don't have to wait as long!
