Maglite tubes were the first go to thing for homebuilt suppressors. There were several sources for endcaps and adapters at one time and the baffles are usually made with automotive freeze plugs. The two Form 1 suppressors I have are based on the dimensions of the Maglite D cell tubes. I got my parts from SD Tactical back when they were still selling that stuff (Before they got their peepees whacked by the ATF). My suppressors work pretty good as some of the guys at the fall shoot found out.

Not true brother! You have to shave one side and soak the other side with gasoline. You set that side on fire and when the cooties run over to the shaved side you stab 'em with an ice pick! Sheesh, everybody knows that!

@gnumadicDon't take the thread jack personal, this shiit happens all the time around here! Feel free to get it back on track though, I know THEY won't take it personal!

That's just awesome fun right there!

You've been on a roll the last couple of days brother! Not as epic as Matt's foofera from a couple of weeks ago but still pretty frikkin awesome!

I have a cousin who was there! There was apparently a somewhat noted news media photo from that showed a soldier kneeling and checking somebody on a bridge? My aunt told me that it was my cousin.

Thanks! Now I know why Ron built his SBR, it's a powerful little package and fun to shoot! One of these days when I have an extra $200 laying around that I don't need and 12 months to wait for it I may SBR this one.

Yeah, that and the fact that that length put the gas block flush with the front of the handguard I used. I had to drill another gas port but the positioning of the gas block also covers and seals the original gas port. Kind of a win win deal. I could have welded the original port closed and then dressed it down by hand with a file but it wasn't necessary. Like 98 always says, don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit!😁

I like it Eric!

Buy a bunch of those white cotton gloves museum curators use and charge double to let them hold it (with close supervision of course!)

THAT would be an upgrade!

That's the nature of brakes, the better it's working, the more side blast you get!☹️

That's gonna be a sweet build!

Nice work Cliff! I've been into muscle cars my whole life (I have a 70 Cuda) and I can definitely appreciate the work you put into a paint job like that! I guess that is why I was so blown away by the work Tom did on my gun, I understand the effort that goes into a job like that.

If the chamber has a burr find a local gunsmith who has a 308 or 7.62X51 chamber reamer and get him to make a light pass in your chamber with the reamer. That will take care of any burrs.

SD Tactical has really good prices on their muzzle brakes and covers, $45 for the brake (if you're counting ounces you can get it in titanium for another $8!); https://sdtacticalarms.com/-Muzzle-Brakes_p_65.html and $30 for the D size cover (+$20 for titanium); https://sdtacticalarms.com/SDTA-PIG-COVER_p_72.html

It's the site Nanny, it changes certain words to supposedly more acceptable language. That's why nobody ever spells fukk or shitt the right way in this place! It's kind of like when they pass another new gun law restricting certain features, we find ways around that FUKKIN SHITT!

Yup! What JT said!

Primary Arms is giving away a Home Defense build AR-15 this month. Follow the link; https://wn.nr/6h5f3t

If the muzzle brake isn't going to be an attachment device for a suppressor I would just use a crush washer. Midway has them. Crush washers are a no no for any muzzle devices that will mount a suppressor though.

Gotta keep the peace brother!

Bureaucracy at it's finest! The flip side is it's also Yankee ingenuity at it's finest too!

Hell yeah, and I got a new truck out of the deal too!

I have the MOE Fixed Carbine Stock and the extended buttpad on my Matrix build. It's a pretty good stock, but still too short for me (I'm 6'4"). I'm going to try one of these; https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1021317628?pid=962091

No, I sourced them on Ebay and then put them on myself. I've done an install before (hockey stick stripes on my 70 Cuda) so I'm familiar with the process. I had to do something about all that white!
