That's a cool suppressor, but I was meaning like the Gemtech Halo, with the holes just on the "business end" :)

Sorry for so many questions, but do you just tap the end, (where it connects to the barrel) or does it attach some other way?

Most of my customers so far have been much more interested in noise reduction than owning something pretty, in fact I was told not to bother much with aesthetics... but I have *some* standards ;)
That's what first came to mind when I first cut it! Still, those are filaments as opposed to dust... and one of my birthday presents was a powerful little handheld vacuum :)

Easily done with the mill, but it adds a machining step so screw 'em :)

Depends on the host weapon.

If the barrel end is threaded, then I thread the end of the suppressor though if you look at the larger carbon fibre suppressor I made the thread is internal and the back end slips over the existing airgun shroud.

I've also made a couple to fit over an unthreaded tapered barrel, held on by a grub screw.

What's a grub screw? not familiar with the term.

I'm closer to the UK than the US, so that's the term which comes naturally :)
