Finally getting around to building a stamp I've had for a while.
What's the best thing to do with these cups?
The plan was for it to be a 6.5 CM and 5.56 can.
From what I've read k cups really aren't the greatest but they were a Black Friday deal.

What dimensions are those? They aren't going to sound good on a 6.5. I'd save them for a pistol can.

They are 1.34" OD.
My other option is the send the tube and caps to ECCO and let him work his magic.
I really have no need for a pistol can.

That’s an odd size. Your tube is that ID as well?

I had ECCO recore a rimfire Form 1 can. Very pleased with the results.

Everything is Ti.

Titanium k-cups need a good (cobalt or carbide) ball end mill to clip the face scoop and skirt/backside of face. Bore on lathe, clip on mill or lathe milling attachment.   You need rigidity and no tool chatter.  

That baffle design is best on low pressure, subsonic cartridges for both suppression and long term mechanical integrity.  Might make for a good subgun can.

Well it's been almost a year and still haven't started to build the can.
Not sure what I should do with these cups since consensus is they won't work well with rifle cartridges and I have no need for a pistol can.
Scrap them and start over or?

I would.
It's your money, but I'm sure you'd like to use it as effectively as possible.

If you have yet to do anything with them, would you like to sell them?
