Just took possession of a TAC 52. I'd read that it's not a bad idea to disassemble before shooting it and coat the edges of the baffles and the threads with anti-seize compound to aid in future disassembly/cleanings. Now that it's apart I see that the baffle stack can be set with each baffle set in the same direction, or you can alternate the baffles and have each one 90 degrees out of phase with the previous baffle. Which setup is more quiet?

It won't make any difference how those baffles are oriented. There is nothing in one baffle that will affect how the next one operates. In fact if you look closely at the baffles they are missing the forward mouse-hole that is part of the original Finn design. The Finn patent actually shows all the baffles aligned. The K baffle has been around for so long and done by so many people it still astounds me that major manufacturers get it wrong.
