Do you know how the weight compares to a bought silencer?
I just weighed it at 17 ozs. It is very over built for use w/ a .22. I made it strong enough that it should be able to handle almost anything that can pass through it. It weighs about the same as most stainless .223 suppressors but way more than some of your .22 stainless cans.
I purchased the four jaw, a live center, drill chuck and knurling tool, along with several other smaller items.
I did the cube thing thing too, but out of aluminum. Sometimes I just go out to the garage, chuck up an old bolt and make chips.
Hey, the can turned out really nice! Your internal ridges on the inside of the K-baffle cone are a good idea. I bet they do help. Your baffles look "farmer stout". No worries with not enough strength, and I bet the can is quieter becasue of it.
Heres a video of me shooting into a creek bed about 80 yards off, hope the video works.
Sounds quiet....
This makes me want to take a machining class.
Nah, Classes suck. It's much funner (yea I said funner) to mess stuff up
That's usually what I do... learn from my mistakes.
I learned by doing, all I had to start out is desire to know. We have a good machinist at work I picked his brain alot and just watched him work. Heres another video of my buddy shooting about 25 yards. Nevermind that terrible ricochet.
waiting to see how it sounds on an AR
