Also tried a suppressor I made for a 22 rimfire, worked almost as well in spite of the larger bore of the baffles.

Is that actual carbon fiber or just a really convincing stick-on decal?
That's what I'm finding out, once you get over the initial shock of the cost of the raw material it's brilliant stuff. I have some CF penguns in the pipeline, watch this space!Looks great either way. You really need to add some composites to your arsenal of materials. They're really useful for frame and bodywork.
The trick is to use them in a way that machining is not so necessary. In this case I cut it as straight as possible with a saw, then after adding the endcaps I spin it on the lathe and finish it off with sandpaper. Not too keen on the carbon dust that's generated though, I reckon that would screw with circuit boards pretty quickly - so I use a vacuum to scoop it up immediately.Composites are very nice materials, but very difficult and messy to machine imo

This sheepsha...er...kiwi *ahem* does some pretty good work:It might look cool to have a sealed section at the end (meaning it wouldn't exhaust any air) and have some holes drilled in the end cap.

I could ask for more, but would definitely be selling less, which would be a shame.
Make them more fancy, ask more, same demand'm trying not to make them too fancy though to be honest, because just like the proverbial fly in the soup, everyone will want one![]()
