Pay Sig,pay ATF, get stamp approved, receive tube, attach and shoot quietly. |

Wonder how the ATF feels about that, as the muzzle brake would also be considered the baffle stack, and silencer part=silencer according to the ATF. |

Pretty sure they're OK with it since SIG is selling it. Tecnically it's not a silencer part until its housed inside a silncer, it's a loudener all by itself 
"The MPX that SIG Sauer Academy instructor Adam Painchaud showed Defense Review was actually the SIG MPX-C model outfitted with a muzzle brake that can be converted into nifty muzzle can (silencer/sound suppressor) once the suppressor housing/tube and end cap are added and screwed into place."

So we can make muzzle breaks that a form 1/4 Tube can be put on that become a monocore suppressor? I thought...oh yea atf logic

First pic is a 304 SS baffle I just finished for a .30 cal can. In the second pic, the .30cal baffle is in the rear and an aluminum .22LR baffle I'm working on is up front. Gonna change the design a bit on it. Sorry for the lousy pics. All I had was the lousy cell phone camera.

Micro .22LR can build.... It utilizes a 1" diameter tube so it's a little fatter than a Thompson Machine Wasp, but shorter by an inch. Still need to add a Dater hole on the blast baffle and some port cuts. The baffle stack is only 2.6" long with four K-baffles. The blast baffle features an integrated blast chamber/spacer (hybrid Omega/K-baffle?). All baffles click into each other. The end cap design will be similar to that of the Wasp, which will allow for a wipe to be utilized if you chose to do so. With an ablative it should still be quiet without wipes. I'll post pics when it's finished, as well as some video. Right now all baffles are made of AL. If it proves to be quiet I'll make, at minimum, the blast baffle from 304 Stainless. The tube is also stainless. I'll make a few final passes on the tube at a high speed to get a nice finish, and then cerakote the tube. Although I intend on using it on a Beretta 21A, I'll give it a try on a number of different hosts. Please don't be too critical of my lathe work. I have about 10 hours experience on a lathe and before that never machined a thing in my life....

More progress. The dimples on the endcap will be gone after I turn it to about 1/2 its current width. They're just for ease of removal after life fire testing. I'll likely mill a slot or make a spanner wrench hole. The baffles all have a .280" bore and the endcap has a .320" bore to allow for some yaw as the bullet passes through the wipe. I altered the endcap design from what I had originally intended. It will still allow for the use of wipes, but requires endcap removal to replace. I want to get an idea of how it will sound wet and wiped before I go about spending 2-3 hours building the part. That's also the reason for the aluminum endcap. Once I get it tuned in I'll go to a stainless endcap. The rear endcap, which will be threaded for the muzzle, IS going to be stainless. Once I hear how it sounds I'll go ahead and mill the ablative port and thread the ring which will cover the port. Progress is slow but progress is progress.... Enjoy!

Got it together today...VERY pleased with how it sounds on a rifle. Dare I say as good as my pilot and sparrow which are quite a bit larger. It's louder than I want on the pistol...but haven't shot it wet or wiped yet so we'll see...

Shot it today with wipes. Wiped and wet (with wire pulling gel) , it was very comparable to my AAC Pilot. Not great but acceptable. I did experience some bullet destabilization with the rubber gasket wipe (2 out of 15 shots). I'm going to try a few other materials including vinyl to see if it will punch through the wipe cleaner. Here's an accuracy comparison. About the same except for the one flier that gave an oblong bullet hole (top left hole on the left target). Not bad for 15yds out of a Ruger MK III. I'll try shooting it wiped out of the rifle to see how it does, but honestly it's quiet enough on the rifle that it's not necessary. I grabbed a box of 50 that I had apparently shot 1/2 of already, so I shot 15 wiped and 10 more without, informally offhand.

More on the Micro can..... Need to get some good SS tube to go along with the 304 baffles I cut this week. This is what happens when you don't use a stainless tube, shoot a can wet, and don't disassemble for cleaning...
Here's the start of the new SS baffles.... facing before reducing the baffle OD. 
About 80% done... The left most baffle is a little thicker and has a slightly longer flat at the OD edge of the cone. I'm shooting for it being able to handle 5.7x28 and under. They still need Dater hole/ports completed...but that'll wait until I get the ball end mill bit and have some more free time. 
Another.... They're .6" long each, so 5 of them makes 3". Shrinking down the blast chamber slightly I should be able to get in at around the new 3 1/2" goal... not much longer but with an extra baffle and tighter bore (.260" this time instead of .280 on the AL baffles). No wipe in this one either. Again, the slightly beefier blast baffle is the one oriented differently than the other 4. The bores will get cleaned up (they're rough from parting).

I just did the detent upgrade to my cmmg 22 bolt and I used the black silicon insert from a BCM extractor upgrade and it works perfect without the cmmg bolt bounce part and not to stiff and not to soft, falls in groove just right. Thanks for the info.
I May go with a spring later but for now the black insert is doing fine. So far 850 RDS and no hiccup. |

good thread. I actually just finished a form 1 30 caliber can myself. I dont have any pics of the process so no point really. Just looks like any other suppressor but its really nice. Its 100% 416 stainless. 7.5" long, 1.5" diameter, 23.5oz. Minimal POI shift and still shoots 1/4" groups with my full power loads. Full power loads are much quieter minus the supersonic crack, and my subsonic loads are very quiet...like pellet gun quiet. Its really a blast to shoot steel. I have a 100yrd range behind my house and you just hear a tiny pop followed by a loud "DING!"

I just efiled a form 1 for a 30 cal can so im looking for ideas. Thanks! I used 5x 60 degree cone baffles. Its 2" to the first cone then the rest are equally spaced to the end cap. I used stainless tube as the spacers, turned them down to .040. The tube is .065 and the baffles are .085. The baffles are a bit thicker than needed, but its pretty solid. bore is .375" The baffles look like this... 
I didnt end up using that one since as you can see i chipped the back of it pretty good. That lip is for the spacer. This one has since been destroyed as i found out (should have known) recently that i can no longer have that piece once the complete can is assembled and is does not belong to it. The ATF sees it as an unregistered part. |

Buy it in sheets and cut/stamp the wipes out yourself. I usually sit down and cut 50 or so at a time. That lasts quite awhile, as I don't shoot that can often. I don't recall if it's 1/4" or 1/8" neoprene, but sheets are available online. Try McMaster Carr, or Graingers.

Wow, what a great thread with tons of good info in it.
I'm new to the whole suppressor world and was hoping some of you that are more knowledgable about the subject can help. I'm strongly considering building my own can using the mag lite d-cell light for the main body and freeze plugs for baffles. I've done a bit of reading on that and it seems like a cost effective and viable option for someone that doesn't use it everyday and as an occassional addition to shooting. I want to be able to use it on both my AR Pistol (11.5" barrel, 5.56 NATO) and my carbine (16" barrel, 5.56 NATO). I'm torn about the mounting design. Some people seem to use a single mount where they thread the end cap with the same threads as the barrel and only use that. Others use various two point designs. I'm leaning towards a design that would allow me to use a threaded muzzle device with a removable shroud (kineti-tech style) and match the threads for the back of the can and then have the end or the muzzle brake/comp threaded and match that thread internally. Does this idea sound like a good option? Baffles would be made from freeze plugs that would be dimpled inwards (towards the rifle/shooter) then heat treated and quenched in water or used motor oil. Not sure if useing that heating and quenching process would be applicable to the aluminum of the maglite and the end caps. Could someone provide some insight about that please and thank you? From the sounds of what I've been reading I would not have to seal (weld) the can on both ends to allow for maintenance/cleaning. Is this correct? And, yes, I know...form 1 approval before getting the components to assemble the suppressor. Sorry for the newb questions but I would like to do it right and not be in any violation before and after filing and getting my form 1 approved. Thanks in advance. |

The ATF sees it as an unregistered part. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By vaeevictiss:

Full power loads are much quieter minus the supersonic crack, and my subsonic loads are very quiet...like pellet gun quiet. Its really a blast to shoot steel. I have a 100yrd range behind my house and you just hear a tiny pop followed by a loud "DING!" Looks awesome! Any info on the internals? I just efiled a form 1 for a 30 cal can so im looking for ideas. Thanks! I used 5x 60 degree cone baffles. Its 2" to the first cone then the rest are equally spaced to the end cap. I used stainless tube as the spacers, turned them down to .040. The tube is .065 and the baffles are .085. The baffles are a bit thicker than needed, but its pretty solid. bore is .375" The baffles look like this... http://i.imgur.com/BX8n2xpl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sesSxIrl.jpg I didnt end up using that one since as you can see i chipped the back of it pretty good.

I just finished my 30cal suppressor on a form 1. The baffle stack is made from a 416 drop that I had gundrilled by Dan LIlja and the sleeve is 304. I threaded the barrels 5/8-24 LH so the can wouldnt unscrew when shot. Total material cost was $150 and I have enough rough gundrilled stock to make another baffle stack. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/WBDIV/Suppressor/MillWork4_09SMALL.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/WBDIV/Suppressor/Suppressor4_10_09008SMALL.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/WBDIV/Suppressor/Suppressor4_10_09024SMALL.jpg Video of the 30cal can on a .223: <a href="http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/WBDIV/Suppressor/?action=view¤t=convert010-1.flv" target="_blank">http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/WBDIV/Suppressor/th_convert010-1.jpg</a> You did a great job on this can. Would be interested in how you like it . Looking at this design as well so would like to find out about it. Thanks Chris |

Quick question for the Form 1 suppressor makers. Is a length required when filling out the form?
