  • The explanation of the rifle cans being optimized for higher velocity than the PCC cans makes sense to me. Is the baffle construction similar between the pistol and PCC versions? Other than the pistol using a Nielson device and having an oblong bore for the slight tilt potential

    Since we’re in the $0 tax stamp era, I will probably print a FTN 4.5 PCC, a FTN 5 Flow PCC, and a 19.2 rifle all in 9mm. Probably makes sense to make all 3 with cheap thread adapters and no epoxy on the insert. Then make an insert with a tri lug for my favorite since it’s by far the most expensive part.


  • Would you like to test fit it?

    I will volunteer to test fit, but I suspect someone else might beat me to it. I have not filled out a Form 1 for this build and I have not printed anything in nylon yet. I will get Form 1s filed ASAP and will dial in my printer for nylon over the weekend.

    Do you happen to have the KVP Trilug?

    I do not currently have one. Per the instructions for the previous models that used the KVP trilug mount a KVP 1" coupler is also required. Will this be necessary on the threaded insert on the FTN.5? I’ll get the stuff on order as soon as Form 1 is approved

    the one that would be best is the FTN 4.5 PCC

    Best from what perspective? I was planning to build a white monster edition 36 cal flow thru rifle can first mainly because it looks cool. I assumed it would have very good sound performance and low back pressure on an MP5 despite it being a rifle can but maybe this was a bad assumption.

    I did not consider the FTN4.5 PCC for my first build as there is not a flow thru version and I don’t like the gas to the face from high back pressure cans. If the FTN4.5 PCC has the best sound signature for this application I will pivot to that for my first build.
