Would like to build it to use on my 16" 500 S&W rifle.

Had my rifle threaded 3/4-24

Suggested parts list for my hypothetical build before I just go buy a bowers can?

I'm interested to hear the responses. I have a encore I SBRed and want to go the same route. Not many people doing it so I've only found a handful of stories.  

On the commercial side the Bowers seems to be a great solution.

heheheheh.   That sounds fun!!!!!    

I take it you don't have access to a lathe and are looking for a solvant tube and storage cup solution?

if you have access to a lathe I'd do a 1.625-2" tube with modified k baffles, and either integrated skirts that stack on each other or cut a shoulder on the skirt so you could put a outer sleeve between baffles that way the whole stack doesn't accordion or collapse.

500 s&w is still a high pressure cartridge (45k psi I believe maybe higher) I would either do all 17-4 baffles thinning them after the second or third baffle or you could do 2-3 baffles in 17-4 then the rest in 7075, however if you plan on running cast (and if it were me that's all I'd be running as it would be cheap fun!) then you wouldn't be able to run the AL baffles in the dip to clean them which is why I'd recommend all 17-4 construction with a ti, stainless, or thin chromoly tube.

Thanks. Waiting to see what happens with law before dropping on can + tax.

I'm willing to bet that the $200 you save is going to be offset by price increase due to demand if if passes. Same with time. There is no way any suppressor will be in stock within 24 hours. If you want one, get one. just my. 02

No, I meant for making one of them myself :)

You might be waiting for a really long time. Over a year ago when we were all waiting for the HPA to pass, I put in my Form 1. As of September I have had my Form back. As of last month I've had the can completed. In all that time the HPA still hasn't passes but I have my suppressor.

Oh and if I didn't spend the $200 on a tax stamp last year, I'm sure it would have gotten spent on some other stupid thing I wouldn't even remember anymore by now.

You know what else has happened in the past year? Some of the companies like SD Tactical and others who sell parts have been put out of business because the ATF decided to crack down on "solvent trap" manufacturers and sellers.

The point is don't wait for anything.

All valid points.
