Homemade integral
It is with much info and inspiration gleaned from perusing this sub (special thanks to Mr. Blowback9 for sharing his wealth of knowledge) that I endeavored to build and now present The "Silver Dollar", a two stamp integrally suppressed 9x19 blaster! It was a fun and challenging little project that turned out to be fairly inexpensive thanks to $0 tax stamps. Was going for a corroded metal look with the paint job. And best of all, the cub approves! 😸

A few notes on the can: foundation is a tubular handguard with barrel nut modified to provide a gas seal at the rear. Baffle stack is alternating baffles and spacers on 3 support rods mounted to a muzzle flange that provides axial constraint. Radial constraint is provided by the tube. Baffle aperture is a generous 0.5" to reduce back pressure and allow for some slop in alignment and the muzzle flange is ported for expansion into the reflexed volume.
