I understand how they get away with selling them as solvent trap and fuel filters or whatever. But I can never find anything and if I do, im not real sure what the fuck im looking at.
Any advice for my searches?
Want something more durable than a pla ftn.
The ATF clamped down on them, even for legal cans, which I’m guessing isn’t the goal here. I personally wouldn’t risk ordering one even with a valid form 1, even the trump admin is being very aggressive about this kinda shit for some reason. With the way the market is going you’re better off just buying a commercial can, it’ll be much better for the money.
If you’re more interested in staying off the books buy a small lathe and some stepper motors.
Damn ok. All the more reason to convince my wife i need a lathe.
Most solvent traps aren’t good for anything more than 22lr or a slow firing schedule of 9mm/5.56. If you want to form 1 something that can take some abuse, subzerosupply is one I’ve seen recommended as most “cup” supply shops closed their doors when the ATF started cracking down. 17-4 stainless is heavier than titanium but can handle much more heat for sustained FRT rifle fire. https://www.subzerosupply.com/Ice-Mountain-Cup-SS-1639_p_101.html
We bought ours from mutedmachineworks.com
I’ll be honest though, the baffles you can make by drilling the holes are not that good, I buy only the tubes and end caps and 3d print the baffles, often add the metal baffles at the beginning so it absorbs the blast instead of the nylon, I feel it last longer that way… 3d printed baffles have way better performance than the metal ‘emitters’ they sell, plus less drilling, since you only do the softer end cap, and the ocassional shield baffle lol
Last attempt was really good for 9mm and 556, slightly more sound than a hubtn4(due to the smaller volume) but also smaller size and looks dope.
I dont remember exactly but some folks have made baffles to 3d print for the fake airsoft aluminium cans, pistons and other stuff…
I personally made mine using ftn mega pack that has the ‘D-cell’ baffles, just scale them to your tube and that’s it, I also tried to extract the baffles from a hubtn4 for each caliber but it was quite a hassle… it did perform better though, sadly had to make tons of cuts and negative spaces in orca that I can’t find the time to do again(my hdd died, and those baffles with it).
And I bet trem-mango could do a way better job than me, since mine were janky af
Oh, and I put a yhm hub on them
They actually sell them on the TikTok shop if you look it up.
I wouldn’t buy those from there if you value your freedom
Found mine on made-in-china.com shipping and import fees suck, but still less than 100 bones, all in.
