No. Either do a custom order or put a comment in the notes when you're checking out with what you want. |

Thanks. Can titanium be soaked in "the dip?" My SS Quest is soaking as we speak, and its my preferred method for cleaning my 22LR cans, so alum is out of the question. Hoping Ti will work.

Can't find out what page this was mentioned on, but any feedback on these?
Link (amazon) Is the FP still the best way to go for a 556 lightweight can? |

What suppressor sights are tall enough to see over D tube suppressors? For an M&P 9c..

So does anyone with both end-caps in Aluminum have any kind of AAR or round counts for centerfire rifles?

Definitely not titanium, because that wasn't an option back then (and they weren't that expensive). ETA: maybe because its 5.56 its been ok, and the larger calibers are where the issues show up. Dunno. |

Your aluminum end caps turned purple? Are you sure they are not made from titanium?

Any examples of a 458 Socom or 50 Beowulf in budget home build land? If so, what tube, baffle and end cap combo did you go with?

Was it not on tightly or was it loosening from previous shot and had a baffle strike? When it 'blew off' did the threads shear off the aluminum cap? Can you identify 'why' it failed? |

Was it not on tightly or was it loosening from previous shot and had a baffle strike? When it 'blew off' did the threads shear off the aluminum cap? Can you identify 'why' it failed? It sheered off between the threads and the face of the end cap, so that the end went downrange and the threaded portion was still in the tube. It was on a 8.5" barrel with standard (full power) rounds a configuration that is not as common as well. Someone else on another board I think said their adapter and end failed at the same point. I didn't say it was common it appears to be the opposite, just like the Ti D tubes that went kaboom. I have Aluminum ends from OnTactical and DM on cans ran on the same host that held up fine so far, but they were both made out of 7075 instead of 6061, I stopped shooting them on that host after this happened. I would just encourage everyone to run Ti ends if weight is a concern. The DM Ti ends are down to 0.95-1.2oz range depending on the style, so lighter than the Al ends in question. If I recall the AL DM ends are made thicker so they are about the same weight also. |

I've found, and most will agree, that AR's are much louder to the shooter than bolt guns. It is true that I had the gas wide open working with function on my particular upper. I'll turn it down and see what happens, but it's honestly on par with performance I expected. A 12" SBR 458 with full power loads is beastly loud unsuppressed. I was also using Lil gun powder, so that may have something to do with it. It may be a little more quiet with other powders, I'm not sure. I simply haven't experimented with that enough. I will say I took a deer with it this year suppressed and my ears didn't ring at all. That, to me, makes it worth the "production" cost. |

After I replaced it with a carbon steel adapter, the front Al endcap did the same. Since then I have replaced it with Ti. I can testify to the strength of the Ti tubes, though... perfect condition, albeit the paint was scratched to hell, but it was structurally perfect. Mic'd it out to be sure. Now, I only build with Ti. Baffles have to be steel. Aluminum deforms under the pressure at the barrel going towards the exit side. 7.5" adjustable gas piston rig. using supers. Totally hearing safe once the kinks have been worked out. |

Got another Form 1 in yesterday, going to start the next build!
Applied for it 9/07/15, received 1/11/16, so just about 3-1/2 months. My first one came back in 40 days. |

Which DM direct thread adapter and end cap in SS will work with the SDTA D-tube? The "Non-DM 'D-Size' 1.55" option?
And also will the 'griffin' adapters work with the taper mount minimalist brake? |
|
|
Is there a separate thread for Materials and Process to make one for an AK?
Looking to make one for my SBRd Papm92. Recommendations on: >Mount >Tube > Baffles thanks |

Recommendations on: >Mount >Tube > Baffles thanks View Quote On the Yugo M92 you will need to machine back the M26 threads on the FSB and expose the barrel underneath - then thread the barrel for 1/2-28 concentrically to the barrel. From there you can just build a standard Form 1 can that fits your needs that can withstand a 10" barrel. |

Sdta steel tube is 1.55" od and sdta ti tube is 1.50" so order the non-DM tread to match I believe 1.55 was the only option for SS so that's what I ordered - guess it was a good choice I emailed them back just to make sure from the order email confirmation. |

Loud as fuck unsuppressed. Less loud suppressed Im not totally dissapointed with the can seeing as how the rifle unsuppressed is ridiculously loud. Eventually I'll get around to shooting on a 16" barrel While not an AR in x39, My SBR Draco running a carbon steel 7.5" SD tube, 2" blast chamber, the rest FP's.

I have a few hundred NIB IMI boxer brass i will eventually get around to loading, some subs with. That's 22 MAG. You'll be hard pressed to get 22 lr suppression on an AK, with standard loads. Subs, maybe? But don't hold your breath. I did a 30 cal can specifically for the AK's because the naysayers are constantly saying DON'T SUPPRESS AN AK. BE CAREFUL AK's don't have concentric bores, etc. I'll concede AK's aren't known for concentric bores/threads. Fortunately the 3 i have / had all run fine suppressed. With no baffle strike / concentricty issues. I also built the can because i'm frugal and couldn't see dropping $$ on a commercial 30 cal can for an AK. Just in case my barrels were not concentric. Baffle strikes on $600- 1k CAN On a $170 unit big deal. Torch or band saw cut it rendering it inoperable. Submit another F1 and go from there. YMMV |

He is focusing on making parts (70+ hours a week) as he is behind on quoted times, often he will send out replies late at night or really early in the morning. Definitely try to be concise and to the point on communication so you can get a order in within the first couple emails or the process will be very frustrating. |

His lead time has increased exponentially since my first order. I just got an order that was quoted 8-10, took 16wks. Not complaining and put in another order the day I received this order. Remember, no time line on building. Only thing I'm beating is 41p. |
