Ok y’all got me looking again .. quick question on 556 or 6.5G maybe even 308 .. what do you think about cutting baffles step cut like a stair or scoop cut ..... ? Anyone have a opinion on poi shift or sound suppression being better one way or the other. ??

Ive been mulling over this question for a few days now and I feel very confident in my answer. From everything I have read, as long as the baffles are clipped you should have pretty good sound suppression. Be it step, scoop or Double clipping. Basically the scoop on both sides. I think some of the guys offset their baffles as well if it’s clipped like above. For POI I’m not the guy to ask. I’m just stoked if it doesn’t blow up and I can hit something with it.

Just curious, could you do 2 sets of baffles/end caps, different size holes, with the same tube - 1 suppressor?
No, it’s my understanding you can’t even have extras. Even If you have extra baffles laying around, that are drilled and ready, in the eyes of the ‘bet bois it’s intent to build. Without that sweet, sweet tax money...I mean permission, you will get into some trouble.

I’m trying to stay clear of aluminum baffles just because of cleaning them. Spoiled with a tumbler and stainless media. I use crushed walnut media for aluminum baffles but it takes 2xs as long and still has leftovers. They will never be like new and most sound better with some buildup on them.

@Cameron Shepherd - did you follow progress of your Form1 after you submitted it? What did that entail?
I would get emails about status changes that’s about the extent that I followed. It was Pending research then they sent me an email saying submitted. That’s the one that had the cover letter and form attached. So got all that shipped in and then kinda forgot about it.

ATF rejected my Form 1 application. Apparently they didn't like the fingerprint cards I used. Submitted new Form 1, will get correct cards....

E-file on the atf system. I did mine as individual. Did my own fingerprints, got the ink and sheets from amazon. Pretty simple.

I’ll just be using a drill press, since most the parts are ready center punched and ready to go.

so help me clear this up. You dont have to get finger prints from local police?

Basically i can order everything online to do prints and then fill out all the form 1 stuff online and just send them the prints?

Do you need to know any of the details of the suppressor such as caliber or anything or is just "suppressor" and when your finished do you need to engrave the suppressor? sorry for a ton of questions but know jack shit about this and am really wanting to jump into the suppressor game soon.

Correct you don't need to get the local police to do your fingerprints. You can order the cards off amazon or even get them from the ATF. Some companies will even sell them to you pre-filled out and all you do is ink them up.

For your form 1 you will need details. Length and caliber for sure. Either while you wait, or when you get the form 1 send the tube off to be engraved. OR even do it yourself.

Solvent traps them selves are legal to own. But I waited until my form 1 was approved to buy anything.
