Alright. So it's nothing fancy, and does what it suppose to do, though it is a bit louder than I want it but over all I am happy with it. a big thanks to the folks over at http://form1suppressor.boards.net/

Engraving was done by unknownpro. Quick turn around and easy to work with. Its a 6" Apogee stainless tube.

End cap from rmletu at https://superprecisionconcepts.com/. Opened upped to .291

1/2-28 Threaded cap from SDTA. Its Ti.

5, 60 degree stainless baffle from poolshark at https://zmachineworx.com/. 4 of the 5 are opened upped at .271, the 5th one is at .291

10 shots later-

I know there was/is some things I can do to tone it down on the sounds level, but for now it is a learning experience and is setting me up for success for my 45 can once that F1 is approved.

I will get a video later on today or tomorrow comparing the levels.

how do you like that "hex" end cap? looks nice, a little spendy over the standard knurled SDTA caps but nice flush look

I like it a lot. Only gripe is has a beveled end to sit flush which when I had the tube cut down it was a little extra work to get it to properly seat. When I bought it, it came with the tool to fit in the end cap. Believe it or not, that end cap was a "blemished" end cap lol.

Looks very similar to mine. Same baffles except I used titanium to keep weight down. I used an SDTAC titanium tube, 5.5" I think, and their titanium end caps. Wanted to stay as light as possible. Not nearly as quiet as my SDN6, but a lot cheaper and sooo much lighter. It was worth it to me. I use mine on 6.8 only.

Edited to titanium baffles. Not sure why I said stainless oroginally. My can is all titanium.

Awesome man, post up some pics if you dont mind. I really wanted to get a Diversified Machine set up in full stainless but wait times and other things led me to the manufactures I chose

now look inside your suppressor --- 22lr puts a ton of black muck inside a suppressor (unlike centerfire) --I know i've done it too ---its fun to shoot 22lr through a CF suppressor but it's better to have a dedicated one---I will note that 22lr through a dedicated 1" diameter, 6" long alum suppressor is actually quieter than through a SDTA 10" ti .277 suppressor ----I can't hear your video as I have no speakers on my terminal, but if you want to hear stupid quite 22lr ammo try the CCI 22LR quiet ammo (40 grain bullet @710 fps) it is crazy quite (but wont cycle most semi autos)-- maybe that was what you were shooting when it wouldn't cycle your gun there

Yes it it didn't take me long to figure out I need a dedicated 22lr can. Maybe at tax time. But I always run a couple rounds of 223 through it.

I was shooting Winchester Subsonic when it wasn't cycling, stupid quiet but annoying
