Cool Can- understand the price
I understand why they can sell this at $300.00 and still make a very tidy sum of money. First off buying tube in bulk is cheap, say somthing you can weld so at least 316 (303 does not weld well). Any muffler shop can buy that pretty cheap by the truck load. My father in law owns a huge muffler shop so i asked. (www.spintechmufflers.com) So then you have the machined sleeve for the reflex style can that it is. Once you have that made in bulk I bet they pay around twenty bucks or less for one. I went out and had some stuff threaded for a compensator I was trying to make. It cost me twenty dollars and that was only a prototype run of about twenty. So imagine how much the price would go down with production of say thousands!
Then everything else could be done in a metal shop. The baffle design is more than likely single piece, like the old HK style. Cranking those out fast and cheap is easy, say 16 guage steel? again the father in law makes a lot of stuff on huge break presses and industrial equipment like that all the time. The only part that sucks is the programing, everything else is cake.
Then the front con-caved washer is just simple and cheap tooling, and takes seconds to produce a dozens.
I bet there cost on these cans is only about $80-$90. last step is have someone who can weld a little tig for you, and bam! Durable can, time tested design, solid construction. Not anything crazy or super high speed low drag, but good and well priced for the everyday shooter.
LOOKS DARN GOOD TO ME VLTOR!
