[QUOTE="jimmym40a2, post: 1282938, member: 7178"] Form 1 50bmg suppressor After making my 408 can I was ready to make a can for my 50bmg. 50s are fun to shoot but the muzzle blast is horrendous. After seeing this video I wanted one similar in size. And decited to make it 18x3inches dia [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxYpVIMYmCU[/url] I wanted to make it out of stainless and I ordered materials from online metals.com. I wanted to make it light as possible so I ordered the thinner wall .065 in 3inch dia. [url]http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=14806&step=4&showunits=inches&id=312&top_cat=1[/url] and the bar material to make the baffles [url]http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=118&step=4&showunits=inches&id=6&top_cat=1[/url] I wanted the weight to come in at 6-7 pounds and thought the thinner wall would work and using aluminum spacers to cut the weight and provide more strength for the walls. I found some tubing that fit perfectly. [attach=full]79103[/attach] This would hold the baffles straight and make it lighter. Baffles: I went for a simple tac16 design. 6 baffles and spacers. I thought more complicated ones would be heavier and harder to make.I originally was going to have 7 but dropped one to save weight. I back cut the holes to let the gas expand before hitting the next baffle and save weight. [attach=full]79104[/attach] I started with a .57 hole and ended with a .61 hole in the end. I tapered it to help avoid baffle strikes. [attach=full]79105[/attach] The baffles were simple but heavy to I turned off the rim of each one but the first one and it saved me half a pound in weight. The can still ended up being 8 pounds but being 18 inches long and 3 inches dia. I feel it came out pretty good. I had a friend of mine tig weld it together: [attach=full]79106[/attach] It looked like he was working on a drive shaft not a suppressor! It was now ready to me fired. My fired has a 55 gallon drum buried in his shop filled with sand and has rubber layers over it to set weapons so I fired a shot to see how she worked! I have to admit I was a little nervous before firing it but I was confident it would work. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inhjxDfRxwA[/url] I was pleasantly supprised with how well it sounded. Didnt ring my hears and had a good tone. I fired a few more to make sure nothing was coming apart then drove out to on open area to see how it sounded away from the metal buildings. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATmYBmz8lx0[/url] It was very pleasant to shoot with no muzzle blast and recoil was not bad at all. The gun: Original Cheytac intervention (made by EDM arms) with 50bmg barrel conversion from EDM arms. (Switch barrel) [attach=full]79107[/attach] I have some more detail work to do on the can before I coat it but Im psyched how well it came out and works. I have about 280$ into it and only about 10 hours of lathe work. The baffles were done on a CNC machine and after programmed took 7 minutes to make each.
