Sorry for the delay in responding.

Summary of the sound test on a 16" DPMS 308 was 141.3 at the muzzle and 143.4 at the ear with R1M1 SA ammo shooting 2484 FPS. Without a can (bare barrel) the...

Thanks for the package of info Chris. I just finished it and it is good to relook at things from a fresh perspective. I especially liked reading Olsen since he is such a legend in the field and...

Thanks for that Chris! Yes, all my first blast baffles are symmetric with a "brake" of sorts to release the initial blast off the bullet as clean as possible. I have some really trick baffle...

Here is an update on the new AR10 can.

Weight 225 grams
OAL 215
Length past muzzle - 158
OD 38
Length from shoulder to aft surface - 38
5/8-24 thread
Diameter of over barrel section -19.35

Currently 675 inclusive. This is likely to go up before the next batch though. I have one standing by if you want it. Just ring or email.

Yes, it will be right after the current QD is finished. I am doing a redesign on the brake to make it a machined part and to make it primarily a very good brake.

Keep in mind that an A2 FH can...

Here is the pistol can with subs to get an idea of under 130 sound levels.

Dammit Greg, I'm an engineer, not a medical doctor! :D Sorry, I just watched star trek over the weekend and couldn't resist.

Read this report: ...

It isn't that the threads are too weak so much that for a 308 can they are non standard. I will have to make a custom can and if I do that I might as well make the bore tighter and add your name to...

ODL 556-45 Samson specs:

OK, Just finished testing the new 556 can. It is truly minimalistic for weight and size. This is about the smallest I can build for 556 and keep it hearing safe. This is what I will try to do with...

I am never one to pass up free info so here is my contact address info: https://oceania-defence.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us&zenid=uummbp84hor4lqtdg1oqdnl3n7 Thanks for the offer.

I have...

I tried to make a poll thread several times. I checked the box for poll, but nothing happened. Usually when poll is checked, the number of choices pops up so you can put in the text. I can't seem...

This is the dilemma and why I asked the question. I wish I could put a poll up here.

From what I am hearing, most people would rather have reduced length and maintain hearing safe at the ear...

I just picked them up last night. I quickly installed it on my rifle and my initial impression is favorable. I will clean these up, bead blast them and give them a sound test on the next clear day....

Based on a question from earlier today, would most people rather have a bolt gun can hearing safe at the ear and not worry about the muzzle SPL to keep the length past the muzzle shorter? Or, would...

The big bore can will be for 338 and is not designed yet. It will not be started til the QD is fully operational.

The second part of your question is complex and deserves a proper explanation.
...

To answer a few other questions:

Res, I won't have a 9mm QD out for a while. The QD will be for 762 to 556 at first with big bore next.

Shamus, the over barrel design will work fine with that...

I fully expect to be able to run a 762 can between all the smaller calibers. I don't know how much difference in sound will happen when a larger bore can is on a smaller caliber. I don't think the...

Maybe, I will probably have to prove to myself at least if it is worth it or not. Stocking too many parts gets expensive!

Yes, a lot of development work is in process. The 556 Samson has been around for quite a while and is a very good can. Digit has my last one in stock. Next week the new 556-45 Samson will be...

In the past we made several 556 cans for different rifles set ups. If you check our site, the Samson model has always been in the 172 gram weight range while the one you are referring to is being...
