Neil has many design configurations. They can be made out of different materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber or titanium, some with baffles, some without, different lengths, diameters etc... they are custom made so one might be made out of carbon fiber with no baffles, the next aluminum with three baffles, it depends on what’s ordered.

I know Neil does custom work and fully understand any maker can and will use different materials, different diameters, different lengths. I have seen Neil himself post that he only uses 2 baffles. That may have changed over the years. I thought he may of run 2 baffles plus a endcap (maybe stripper style) or 2 baffles with a stripper at the muzzle and a end cap or so on and so on.
When guys go on for years about perfecting there design and me not having seen the internals it makes you guess at intricate designs. You know, maybe there some voodoo he knows that works better. So far this does not seem to be the case. While it is only one picture it lines up with things Neil himself has said.
If I were building things for sale I would use the most efficient design for everything I build unless the design wasn't possible on a certain gun or the gun was low power and didn't need the best. I have also seen Neil post that its his way or the highway so you can order whatever you want but he is building it to his specs. Now we are back to his design...
I was simply disappointed at what I saw. I know it is a small sample of his work but it is still his work on what is a 60 ft pound gun. If it works and its simple that's great. I simply wasn't expecting to see the cookie cutter design.
The thread from STO "Moderator Design, Testing, and Evaluation" got me back to thinking about designs again.
