    Might try reaching out to BigWaylon. He posted some a while back that he made.

    It's a 5/8 - 20 direct thread, so it'll be a 30 cal can with pretty good overbore. I may open the cap a little more than the baffles.

    I can’t vouch for the info on the site but there is a dedicated form 1 board.

    Sounds like Pappabear will have more man hours in getting the F1 e-submitted than I will building the can....

    Following this as I'm planning on doing the same.

    If any of you guys are on bookface there are a couple good groups to follow. Lots of info out there.

    Also The form1 suppressor boards linked early is legit.

    Intrigued to see how this works out. I know that the cost will be comparable to a purchased can, but the allure of the "do it yourself" work is quite neat. Also, the fact that you're the manufacturer should make repair significantly easier should you need to change anything.
    "SEND IT" happens to be my trigger words...

    That's the thing. We got one extra end cap that could be drilled out if we got a cap strike. There was another dealer that had similar kits her in AZ, but they quit selling the parts supposedly due to the ATF. So having repair parts isn't a bad idea with the way ATF just makes shit up as they go.

    It weighs 11.1 oz prior to drilling out the end cap and baffles.

    It's hard to map out the build until you get the parts in front of you. So we had to order another section of spacer titanium. Total into the can is about $500... so It's nearly as much as buying a can, but it's really the fun of doing your own build.
    How did you decide on the specs of your can in regards to length, O.D. and number of baffles? I see it going to be a .30 caliber can- I assume you'll use it up to .300 Winchester?
