So spare parts for your existing cans (other than the tube itself) are illegal? Black and white, or a gray area?If you already have internals, they need to be disposed of...by you or him.

Sounds about right.So a tube with internal threads on both ends is OK, a 1/2-28 (or whatever) threaded insert for one end is OK, and the other parts are ok as long as they aren’t center drilled?
Then you do the F1, and when approved, engrave it and drill the other end and baffles.
That keeps everything legal?
Talked to Nick and paid for these today. Should have them back by the end of the week.Just got some final pics from Nick. Weights ended up being 15.7oz (7”), 18.0oz (8”) and 20.6oz (9”). Full heat treated 17-4 serviceable stacks. 7, 9 and 11 baffles.

@BigWaylon
SO Im trying to get REALLY quiet on a 6.5 Grendel. Would you think there would be much more suppression on the 10" vs. 8"? Its longer, but I dont mind the weight since Im shooting off a tripod. Now if some of the Form 1 places would get kits in stock. grrr.
I was gonna do a Form 1 can. This is going on my Yote gun and the suppressor really confuses them. Plus, these people let us come hunt at night, so the more quiet, the better, even if I have to give up some length.My Omega pretty darn quiet on an 18" Grendel. I would not hesitate to run it without ear pro out in the field. On a covered range or with walls/berms in close proximity, I'd want some foammies.
Need some help on 2 30 cal cans and a 9mm can @BigWaylonHeeeeyyyyy......I have my turbo on my 5.56 bolt gun. Need some help?
Good luck!!
Good luck!!
At this point I’d join up on the F1 boards and check out all the BST stuff. There aren’t a whole lot of “kits” I’ve found recently.
The other (possibly more expensive) option is to just source a tube and the ends, and drill a hole in the end cap. That counts as a silencer, and you can then send it to Nick at ECCO to make a real baffle stack. But it’s not much more since you’re not buying cones in the first place...and you don’t have to figure out how to drill and clip them.
Don’t know. It’s hard to keep up.Where's a good place to source a quality tube and caps for a 30cal?

The group buy description says those will fit the DM and SPC tubes, and maybe others. Guess you could start there. 1.625” tubes could let you run a shorter can with similar internal volume.
DM = Diversified Machine
SPC = Super Precision Concepts
@Jeffncs - you should probably have Nick build you one like this.
From Nick’s Facebook:
“Another tubeless recore, but the largest one I've done to date - 1.75" x 12". Optimized for .458 SOCOM, it's quite large, but not terribly heavy. 100% 17-4 H900 like others, barely heavier than an AAC 7.62 SDN-6. The weight on the scale is with the direct thread mount installed.”
Girth. That’s the word you’re looking for.That thing doesn’t weigh much considering length and diameter! Ok... that sounds bad but I’m going to leave it for the fun of it!
He’s done at least some work on 8 of my 9 F1 cans.Ecco is very well respected in the form1 world!
I wouldnt hesitate to get a form1 approved and send him the tube and endcap.
For that large of a can............the weight is excellent.
That doesn't look too good.
He gets by with doing that because he supplies screens and has a whole narrative about using them as solvent filters which is total hooey but it seems to keep the ATF at Bay.That doesn't look too good.
Probably so. But I’m assuming customs won’t be intercepting these.Fwiw most of those if not all are repackaged Chinese wish kits. Only one I haven't seen from China is the modular but I'll bet it is too. 1/4 the price or less direct from China.
