Many moons ago i did some "big" suppressors for FX .22 PCP's.
ø40mm~1,6"diam x 200mm~7.9" carbon tubes.
Nothing much: Delrin/acetal front and rear, CF tube, Polycarbonate rings/baffels and loads of professional PC grade silencer wool.
I also had a proffesion in HiFi speaker design and made use of that in the following way.
In speaker design there is a golden rule which says that dimentional relations must be of the following rule: 1 : the thierd root of 2 : the thierd root of 4, in short 1:1.26:1.59.
That way no standing waves between two oposite flats can resonate with other standing waves.
So i made first chamber 1.59x, second chamber 1.26x and last chamber 1x and the final length is 3.76x you calculate in reverse from here ;-) .
Now the next experiment will be a slip over schroud/silencer for my future Texan .45.
That thing belches out an astonishing 670+ cui of air so bigger is better.
I have ordered a ø50mm~2" x 500mm~20" carbon tube from China and inend to make a telescope "shroud"/silencer combo also known as a telescopic silencer. I'll hold the tube at the barrel when i have rifle in hand and see when it begins to look silly.The rest i will put to good use with proven desings.
Has anyone done anything like this ?
Any hinters?
Silencers are a lot like car engines. You can make a lot of fiddle to a small space and make it work good, but nothing beat cubics!

. Donny the silence master ..but in a serious note have found that deep cones like the ones in the taipan long are great. That gun only has 3 cones like 1 1/4 deep and it suppress 65fp to back yard friendly now that's efficiency..when i then use on top of the 3 cones a donny shogun you can barely hear anything Doug moderators for airforce are like that deep cones design that works as n air striper. you could find a video on YouTube of him shooting a 308 with like 200fp and you can barely hear the shot...the are like 1 3/4 thick and have a few more baffles...both designs are more like barrel shroud .
