 Your tacks are not centered enough on the baffles. Your putting all of the penetration into the baffles on the right and not joining the two together. Just a habit of welders critiquing other welders welds.  Other than that. Amazing project!

Actually, if you look carefully, I designed slots at the weld unions that permitted me to weld deep into the baffle below then built it up through the slot to the baffle above. If you could see it, the weld fills in the back side of the slot penetrating each lower baffle. You're just seeing the cap of the whole weld region.

I stand corrected! Shit, didn't even pay attention to the slots.  Now I just need to move to a free state and build one myself!  |

Uh, you serialized the wrong part of your suppressor. The tube body is supposed to be serialized...At least, I think it is. someone correct me if I'm wrong. Sweet DIY project though!

Its a MONOLITHIC can; the core does not come out. So The serial number IS part of the outside of the can.

Did you have to do anything special (other than the tax stamp) with the ATF to make a suppressor rather than purchase one? |

Nope. This is a Form 1 . It allows ME to make the NFA item! I SBR'ed the UZI as well as my MP5 using Form 1s

I'm amazed at how quiet your DIY suppressor is. Was that standard ammo or sub-sonic? I assume the ping with the can on is the metal resonating?
This is an excellent thread. Thanks for sharing this. |

Your pic shows a MONOLITHIC core! MONOLITHIC just implies "ALL ONE THING" . My can is totally MONOLITHIC because the core is all welded together, and then the core is welded to the actual can. Nothing comes apart.

I thought monolithic was when you take a block of metal and machine it into a baffle stack. http://i37.tinypic.com/2ai3qmv.jpg It doesn't matter anyway. I do believe that I'm wrong. I think that why almost all suppressors have their S/N on the tube rather than an endcap is due to baffle strikes and that the tube is less likely to be damaged in the event of a baffle strike. Anyway, very cool project. That tink tink sound is alot less annoying than the AAC flash hiders. |

Why did you use mild steel instead of stainless, or other metal type? Asking 'cuz I don't know which is best, not criticizing.

Congrats! Anything over 10 gets you a phone call from Al Gore by the way. Curious about the questions above. Are you far from Wichita? I have a dealer down there I need to see this fall. Would love to see that in person, meet the builder. I'd buy you lunch (plus shells) to shoot that marvelous wonder... Congrats! Hell of a job!!!! |
