Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the website!

I miss the suppressor sundays too, but will keep uploading vids to the website as I get them!

Should not be a problem at all. The weight is effectively cancelled out by the nielsen device. Much heavier constructs (like 3m casting tape) have been tried with that, and did not affect cycling

Funny you mention this. I have been thinking on this topic recently since a few SOT’s emailed me asking about it.

I actually think the next step for mass adoption is going to be printed cans sold for cheap. Not everyone is willing or able to get a 3d printer and learn how to print well.

I even went ahead and put this on my website: https://ftn.fun/for-sots

It won’t be a form 1, they would be producing suppressors for people to form 4.

If you know any 07/02’s feel free to pitch it to them.

This was a great video, esp considering hes not a 3d2a guy. All of his other content is pretty different.

Hi frame rate camera is pretty awesome to see. I talked to him after his first video and it does look like his bore printed a bit oblong so I advised him to drill it out to make it a perfect circle again.

Looking forward to his 308 testing, thats gonna be the first time it is tested in 308

BTW this actually was the FTN.5, just the baffled one not the flowthrough one

Dont forget hockey tape is a great option, and so is coban wrap. Bonus feature is you get to change colors easily

I will take another look at this and print one at some point and see if it is viable, thanks for bringing it to my attention

I’ll take a look at that again, I remember when that came out but I never printed it.

Have you printed it? If so, is the lockup very secure? The issue with trilug is always that it can become looser with time and lose concentricity. That can happen even with metal versions so I hadn’t trusted printed ones

The baffle construction is somewhat similar, in the sense that they have ribbing and slanted K baffles, although I had to do a redesign from scratch to make the off axis baffle

Sounds like a plan! Hopefully by the time you get around to it, we will have figured out the dimensions of the trilug. I sent the files to 2 other people to testfit, hadnt heard back yet

Great question. Coupler is NOT required for this new one. It’ll be pretty similar to the KAK, in that you will epoxy it into the insert.

Also good follow up question. The FTN 4.5 PCC is probably the quietest PCC can. The 19.2 oz White Monster versions will of course be functional for 9mm, but it is really optimized for rifle calibers. Because rifle gas has very high velocity, it benefits from more spacing between baffles and therefore less baffles.

You would get benefits from flow-through, and of course the meme potential is off the charts.

But if you wanted the absolute quietest PCC suppressor, it would be the 4.5 PCC. It has more baffles, and they are the new K baffles that have the extra ribbing, and ribbing on the walls for max turbulence

Hope this helps, but now that I have typed this up, perhaps this is more confusing, feel free to ask more questions if i made it more complicated than it needs to be

Funny you should ask… I have had several requests so I am making a new threaded insert to accept the KVP trilug.

Would be compatible with all current FTN.5 models that accept the threaded insert, but the one that would be best is the FTN 4.5 PCC

Would you like to test fit it? Do you happen to have the KVP Trilug?

Can you try redownloading the file and trying again?

Looking forward to seeing your design!

Thanks! glad to hear it

That’s odd, and you are the first person to describe that. Anybody else able to confirm this?

Is it all the PDF’s or just one?

Good suggestion!

Extremely based, and great idea.

Anybody good with graphic design? We should come up with a leaflet to leave at ranges

If you do, let me know how it goes.

Recently someone had posted an interesting chart on this thread https://forum.guncadindex.com/post/forum.guncadindex.com/171322

And that seemed to be pretty telling. It sound like PPS-CF may be substantially inferior to PA6CF on some properties

Nope, nobody was set up to be able to print over 300.

I have been told that performance is much better when printed at 320 or higher

So we had a PPA-CF one on a 14.5" that broke. Also a PA6CF one on a 10.5" that broke.

I think you have a chance if you use PA6CF.

It seems that PPA-CF is weaker than PA6CF, although I am told by confuzled that it may be because we couldnt print higher than 300 degrees, and impact resistance is improved if youre printing at 320

If you do try, it let me know how it does
