Any info on the integral suppressor mentioned in the readme? I’m definitely making one of these but if I can save on a barrel that’ll be used in that I’d buy it now
It’s still in progress, but the barrel I’m using to develop it is this one if you want to ensure everything is compatible. I don’t know what variances there are in exact lengrhs so I might just recommend this specific one.

Do you happen to have an approximate length for the suppressor assembly or is it just 7.5"? I’d like to get started on the form 1 for the rifle and suppressor
It uses an FTN 4.5, which works out to 9 inches, then it has an expansion chamber around the ported barrel. That works out to roughly the same length as the unsuppressed TP with a 16in barrel.
The assembly PDF says a 36 gauge drill bit, but the link goes to a 37 gauge. 37 is closer to 2.5mm which I think is the tap size for M3. Does it matter which one?
There are different tolerances for tapping into either metal or plastic, and in this case both 36 and 37 are in tolerance and were used in development. It’s my bad I missed putting the wrong link in the docs :P but either works.

Does that make the supressor assembly around 16" then? Trying to work it out from the step files

Thank you

Perfect, thank you
Thank you! So excited for this build
