Toying with the idea of building a suppressor within the next few months.... Would be for a precision rifle. I'm wondering what type of baffle is best for precision work? I don't want to screw up the bullet's flight path - although I realize that's next to impossible with a can on a gun. The can will be made of titanium to save as much weight as possible on the end of a 20" ar15..... |

Stepped cone baffles. 1.5" OD x 6-8" OAL should yield a decent design without a lot of weight (i.e. no more than 12-8 ounces (Ti) or 20-30 ounces(ss)). Stainless steel would be easier to work with than titanium and cheaper for tooling. I've got plans to roll my own in the next year or two and would be interested in how yours turns out.
Edit: You should check out silencertalk.com - in the forums there is one named "silencersmithing forum." I'd highly suggest checking it out - it's a wealth of information. -John |
