Ok, it's time. I've had an approved form 1 for a 22 can for much longer than I care to admit and decided it's time to make it a reality. After doing some research, I think I am going to go with XRT Tactical components due to good pricing and killer reviews. I started to go down a rabbit hole of # of baffles vs volume and decided that some of the people have WAY more experience than I do. I played around with a couple stack ups and can't decide which direction to go. The hosts I have will be a Ruger 22/45 lite and a Marlin 795. So...I did a design using 8, 10 and 13 baffles. I'm leaning towards the 10, but could easily be swayed to the 8 or 13. Currently, all of the designs use static spacing of the baffles, as I read that progressive spacing really isn't needed unless you are using supers all the time and/or center fire (no idea if that's an absolute or total BS). If my math is right, all of the stack-ups should end up at 0.005 longer than available in the tube. I figure this is ideal as it will allow me to fine tune the stack for a tight fit. Please feel free to tell if I am doing it all wrong and need to go back to the drawing board or that I'm thinking about it way too hard. I will be going with SS and Ti components as I never want to have to think about safe cleaning methods or worry about it ever wearing out. Here is a screen shot of what I put together. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!
