I know these have been brought up before.
But buying one of these stainless steel brakes and welding a stainless steel tube over it is pretty temping for an inexpensive direct-thread can. ------> https://www.wish.com/product/5af3e2f60f707d1b66ca497a How do you think one of these would perform? I saw one that had a bunch of angular cuts in it but I can't find it now. The "baffles" looked like this: >>>>>>>. I would think that would do pretty well. But I was also wondering how the stainless steel would hold up to 5.56. Out of 12 to 16 inch barrels. Thoughts? |

Quoted:I’ve seen a number of monocore rifle suppressors that seem to perform pretty well from what I’ve read. The Gemtech is about the only one that has a decent rep and it's not a static pattern. Maybe you could do some cutting and turn one of those brakes into an almost copy? The cone stack is such a tried and true that it's hard to sway from this. R&D is what's needed, but not a friend to the F1 builder. |

Quoted:
Basic monocores do OK on rimfire rifles but for anything else it takes some finesse (Liberty being a good example) to get good performance out of a monocore. I'd pass on these cheap brakes for a 556 if it was my $200 stamp. Alot of them seem to get pretty good reviews that I’ve seen. And a number of companies use a monocore design of some kind. The vast majority don’t perform as well as stacked cones? Is the sound reduction difference something I could actually hear? Or is it slight enough that’d I’d need a decibel meter to distinguish the two? |
| No, I'm saying the Chinese brakes make for very basic monocores and likely wont perform well for supersonic cartridges. As opposed to Liberty (which I've heard), that is very nicely machined for strength to weight, high void volume, and subtle refinements for flow disruption. |
