I have had a couple people ask what the inside of the Ferox 5.56mm silencer looks like so here it is in all it's glory!
 These pictures show the radial bleed off chamber subassembly that sits at the front end of the silencer. This assembly gets welded together with the shroud (part that covers this), blast baffle and blast chamber to form a completed core.   Karl Edminster Stainless Pinecone Artist Energetic Armament |

What are the gold-colored rings?

Interesting design!
@kedminster Would you recommend this suppressor for an untuned host? I'm trying to gauge where this would fall in the back pressure spectrum between something like a Griffin Recce, YHM T3 and a HuxWrx Flow 556K. |

So, these are the last baffles the bullet passes before exiting the can? And there’s one more on the gun end of the can?

I'm trying to gauge where this would fall in the back pressure spectrum between something like a Griffin Recce, YHM T3 and a HuxWrx Flow 556K. I haven't shot this on an untuned host side-by-side with any of those suppressors you listed so I can't provide objective feedback on how it compares to those. I have shot it on an untuned DD MK18 and it runs fine although there is always an opportunity for further improvement through tuning. We have used the bootleg carrier with success on our MK18's and really like it. That is a simple carrier swap that doesn't require any major disassembly of a COTS gun. All comes down to no free lunch from physics. Any thing that lowers the exit velocity of the gasses and lengthens the time for them to exit the silencer improves suppression but will increase the pressure at the gas port.

Yes, the bullet first passes thought a separate blast baffle then through this assembly before finally exiting the silencer. Karl Edminster Baffle Stacker Energetic Armament |

Interesting design there.
I wish other companies would post theirs too. |

Just to make sure I'm not making incorrect assumptions, was this unique design intended to reduce back pressure and @ ear sound? |

Yes, this coaxial baffle stack with radial bleed off was specifically designed for gas gun platforms to reduce backpressure and the associated @ear noise that accompanies increased back pressure.

I am a bit surprised that more companies don't show more about their designs and manufacturing processes. Showing these types of things really brings transparency that builds trust. I started posting lots of these 'How Its Made' type posts to Reddit at r/NFA and they have been really popular with some great discussion.

@kedminster
Is there any chance of you making a 30 caliber version of this suppressor? |

We don't have any immediate plans for that as we have 30 cal already pretty well covered with our other offerings. We are also up to our eyeballs in orders at the moment so our focus is squarely on production and we have hit the pause button on some of our development work until we get caught up.
