Looking to do a form 1 .30 cal while I wait. Very happy with the quiet bore 22 but their .30 is 2 lbs. Looking for experience with other "kits" that shed some weight but sound good or the best balance there of. I know nothing is going to be an ultra 7 but whats decent while I wait.

Suppressors Form 1 .30 cal experience

I built one a few months ago. It’s a 9” SDTA titanium tube and end caps, 5 titanium and 2 stainless steel cones from super precision concepts, and all spacers are titanium from diversified machine. It comes in at 15.2 oz. the sound reduction is hearing safe, I don’t have any other suppressors to compare it to so I don’t really know how it stacks up agains a commercial can.
It appears to be in the $400-450 range. I'm liking the SDTA Ti tube over the QB steel. I think the lb weight loss is worth it.
All in all I’ve got about $450 in the suppressor then the obvious $200 tax stamp, but the wait was only 28 days to get approval. It shoots well enough for me. It’s held a hair under MOA out to 600 yards with factory ammo so it hasn’t effected accuracy in any measurable amount.
You are about spot on as far as price goes, and I like the titanium for the reduction in weight, plus it looks good too.
I just ordered up what I think I need. Couldn't get the spacers from DM so I had to order a DIY piece of tube from SDTA. I may have to hit you up when my F-1 comes back.
Do you see much poi shift in yours? Are those 1.355 components? Which caliber have to shot it on? Safe on a 300WM?
So POI shift was 1/2mil straight down, no left or right. I Duel hybrid clipped the baffles And it seemed to work as far as minimizing linear POI shift.
Yes, it is a 1.5” O.D. With a 1.355 I.D.
I’ve shot 22lr, 5.56 nato, 300 blackout, 6.5 grendel, and 6.5 creedmoor. All calibers aside from the 6.5 creedmoor were fired from an AR15, 6.5 creedmoor was fired from a bolt action. The sound reduction was great on all calibers.
All the parts I ordered are 300 win mag rated so I assume it would be good. I don’t have a 300 win mag to test it in though.
I’ve got 300WM rated components but have seen others say no way, the diameter needs to be bigger.
Yeah, for better sound reduction bigger is obviously better. I don’t know what kind of pressure a 300WM has at the muzzle but if the components are rated for it I would think it would be fine. But to be honest I’m not sure I want to gamble my suppressor on it. Lol.
How do you like the SDTA quality?
They do not bore the id of these right?
Threads machined nicely?
If you direct thread, do the adapters deep enough to cover all the threads on the barrel?

Its not necessarily the internal components that need to be mag rated. The tube is as much, if not more important in the equation. End cap threading not sufficient? Can becomes can launcher. Tube material sub par? Wasnt it Elmer Fudd whose rifle always blew out at the end? There are pipe burst calculators out there if you want to check it out. Theres a few choices out there for a reasonable weight, magnum safe, F1 can.
