I am thinking of building a sub 5" can to attach on a griffin taper mount. Can anybody tell me the internal layout of the new mini cans on the market today? Baffle count, spacing?

Thanks

Sweet. Thanks.

Mine will only be 4 3/4" total length so my usable baffle space is only 2-3 inches. Right now I am thinking VSR as a blast baffle and then 3 freezeplug baffles stacked on that for a total of 4 baffles. The bore will by .37" on the baffles but the end cap will be .28".

Whats your plan for the baffles? Custom? Freezplugs? VSRs?

Almost exactly like Hk94's, but with a formed fender washer instead of the VSR and possibly a flat blast baffle.  Still debating the blast baffle, cone vs flat.

ETA... Mine will be direct thread.  I'm not a big fan of brake mounts for most applications.

Here is a micro 223 suppressor I built that is just under 4" long and lives in my 7.5" SBR (works great). It might give you an idea of spacing.  My baffles are machined from 17-4SS.

I would expect the same rules apply as far as spacing guidelines.  You will have a shorter stack that will be louder, but has Hk94dude as shown you can still get really impressive results (he was using a tube that had a larger ID which I am sure helped).  On machined Cones I would still stay with .50" pacing, on Freeze plugs stack them (difficult to make miniature spacers so I would just stick with the skirt size as the spacer), on the VR .65-75" spacing depending on the specific retainer.  I have two tubes that should be tested soon with very short stacks because of a reflex mount that is being made for them and I am sticking with the above.

BJGunner, your mini can is exactly what I had in mind. How does it sound?

It's slightly louder than my full size suppressor. On a long gun it's great, it makes my 7.5" pleasant to shoot. I've shot the 7.5" with that suppressor without ear plugs and it was fine - without the can it's loud with the plugs in.

We traded some messages on the other board.  I hope that you are OK with me pilferring your ideas and doing a close duplicate of the your excellent 5.56  can design.  If this is a problem, hit me up on pm.

Can you get some video comparing the chub to the full size can?
