Form 1 suppressor build
bkoenig:
More progress over the last couple of days. Got the tube threaded and both endcaps threaded to match. The mounting threads are also done. The end caps still need profiled to match the outside diameter of the tube, and the aluminum one still needs shortened. I still need to do the vent holes in the baffles and do some final fitting on them, make a spacer to hold everything in place inside the tube, engrave it, and apply some sort of finish. I'm kind of tempted to go with a brushed metal finish, maybe by spinning it in the lathe while holding some emory cloth up against it. It's finally looking like a real can:
And yes, I did run around the house tonight with it making "Pew! Pew! Pew!" sounds.

Yes, but did you hum the 007 theme???
Seriously though, the can's looking pretty. I'm looking forward to a range report once you get the final punch list finished!
jonm:
Looks reallly good so far..
Might i suggest getting a longer handguard and tucking the suppressor.
bkoenig:
I think I'm going to go the other way - shorten the barrel to 4.5" to keep bulk ammo subsonic. That should put the back end of the can right up next to the front of the rail. I can't decide if I want to do that myself or send it off to Adco. They'll do it for $65.
jonm:
My gun is a 4.5" barrel with a 6" suppressor on it.
If you do plan to chop and re-thread, might Isuggest Long Range Precision. I had them do a barrel for me and it cost a whopping $20+shipping.
