A friend and I are putting them together, but we are using tubes that are made specifically for it, but nearly the same as a maglight THIS tube, and the other parts are on their side... We are going with the griffin brake mounted versions.
Hopefully we will have permission to start building in 3 weeks or so.

I'll be doing one for shit's and grins. Maybe even a few. Hell, why not. I'll definitely do one purpose built for my 6.5 grendel. Make the most worthless baffle stack you can imagine and send it to stalking rhino or another SOT and have them re-core the thing properly. You'll still come in way under anything else on the market.

My concern was one the thing being able to handle the pressures of 5.56 or 300AAC supers. The web site says that the D-cell version with the stainless spacers can handle up to 300 WM..... I'm going to build one for shits and giggles. |

It is only to get the center. You are not supposed to drill the holes out, until after you have formed the baffle. I believe you drill a small hole first, form the baffle, then drill out a .06" larger hole then the caliber you want. With these suppressors becoming more popular, it would be awesome if someone found something better to make better baffles with. |

It comes in either stainless or carbon steel. The carbon steel is in black, OD green and Sand. I was looking at them last night but can't recall the name of the company. I want to make one and sleeve the inside and do washers. If one turns out OK then I'll make one for other things as well. I was thinking M91/30. Who wants to shoot corrosive ammo through a really expensive sealed can, right? I contacted SD tactical and inquired about SS end caps for centerfire cartridges. I wouldn't want an AL end cap for such purposes. Oh, anyone know how difficult it is to use a drill press as a mill? ETA: Thanks for the company name above ^ |

I've seriously been considering a "Maglite" suppressor build or two. I have an Octane 45 and really like it a lot, however I have no desire to put it on a HD firearm. I'd like to do a 9mm C-cell Maglite can for my HD Beretta M9. I also hope to do a .223/.22 LR stainless can with stainless baffles. I don't like the look of tiny .22 LR cans on rifles. My main issue as of late has been thinking up ways I would reduce weight on such a build.

You can always do a 2 cell mag light and less baffles. Most .22 cans are 1in diameter if I recall correctly; these are 1.55 so you can get the same internal volumn with a shorter 1.55 can. Sure the can body is AL but you can soak your baffles (SS) if you want to clean them. Just use as much AL as you can is all I can say. |

I then hope to have it turned down to around .065" or maybe even slightly lower ahead of my blast chamber if possible. I have a local 07/02 that should be able to do that. Then, as far as baffles are concerned, I plan to use 6-8 SS baffles and anodized aluminum spacers that have been drilled for lightening purposes. Based on other designs I have seen, this should be doable in the low 20-ounce range. I would like to see flush-fit endcaps in SS for these tubes. I also have concerns about using aluminum, even if anodized, as spacers. High heat/pressure can corrode aluminum and I am not sure how well anodizing will protect them. If it turns out that the performance is garbage there are plenty of 07/02s out there that can recore it for me, I just want to give it a shot. |
