Form 1 suppressor build
bkoenig:
I did a lot of reading and asking questions on the silencersmithing forum over at www.silencertalk.com. There are a lot of very experienced builders there, so if you're interested that would be the best place to start.

Looking good Brian; keep up the updates and pics!

Ok, all of the baffles are done except for drilling the vent holes. I had to order a 1/4" ball nose end mill for that. A 6 month wait and I didn't get around to ordering a $12 tool until now :angry:
The top baffle is the blast baffle, which is closest to the muzzle of the gun. It's stainless steel and is about 50% thicker all around to make it more durable. The face of each baffle has a groove machined into it for the cone of the next one to fit into. I'm not sure if that was really necessary but I figure it should help keep things straight inside the tube. Next up, threading the tube and machining end caps.

Looking good Brian!
