Probably deep in the archives, as it was years ago, but there was a build on Silencertalk w/ something similar. If you got into researching silencers, you'd see all sorts of interesting and wild designs, going back over 100 years. If you're into reading, lookup Al Paulson and Neil Parker. They both have books on the matter. |

There used to be an AR lower receiver you could make from welding up laser cut flat steel pieces that were stacked to make the 3d shape. There's all manner of rimfire and low pressure silencer construction methods in the old-school silencer reference books that are similarly low-tech but effective. |

They sell at home laser cutters that are capable of cutting thin aluminum and steel... Nah, keep it bolted. That way he can experiment with different baffle stacks just by moving the wood slices around. No new parts are being made, so it's not the creation or replacement of an existing baffle stack. |
