Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***
- Thread starter padom
- Start date
Nice review. I have also been looking at QB. Never had a suppressor, but have a SBR. It's from back in the day before online filing.
Yep, even the one I did last week came within seconds of clicking submit like all the previous ones. Idk
-
The 303 SS baffle Stack and the tube body and the take-down design is GTG and Not a big deal at all for me.
It's the ( 2 ) End-Caps, and if you weigh them are Heavy . They are Big weight contributor on the 223/308 trap .
I know It cost extra-$ for Ti. material, and end-caps . I would pay the extra cost to knock off a few ounces and bring it in under the 2Lb. mark .
.
I got my 3 “solvent traps” today. The fit and finish is first rate. My only complaint is the 30 cal is a fat pig and if I had to do it over I would have skipped out on it knowing that it was this heavy. Overall I highly recommend them and will probably buy a few more “traps” soon.
This is what I was afraid of. The baffles look very thick also. Was hoping for something a little over a pound. A nomad is 17oz and all stainless construction also
Edit- besides the end caps
A booster doesnt connect to your gun. A booster is required to run a can on a pistol. You need pistons for every thread pitch you want to attach your can to...

Let's say a guy screwed this up and listed his/her trust "The xyz Trust" as the manufacturer, got the warning, then clicked through it because everything that they had read indicated "the trust" would be the manufacturer, so it was implemented literally. What is the recourse because it does not seem to be something that can be edited after submission. Obviously, the worst thing that could happen is it gets rejected and you resubmit.
...asking for a friend.

Has anyone had any luck contacting them via email? I have sent them a few questions with no response.
I have had no luck e-mailing them. I did get a quick order confirmation and my .22LR trap shipped the next day with a tracking number. I looked him up on a facebook group for Form 1 builders, read several of his posts, including one that said "things are busy, shoot me a PM on facebook and I'll reply!" Still no reply.
I ended up answering most of my questions via research here, other sites, and on the facebook Form 1 builders group. What questions did you e-mail him? Maybe one of us can help you.
I want to get titanium caps for my 30 cal can and I also need to return the booster as I dont need it
Preston was away at a trade show all last week and apoligized for the delayed repsonse to one of my emails.

The .30 cal trap is over 2 pounds. I was pretty surprised by the weight.
That is the weight listed on the webpage, but I've been crossing my fingers and hoping that was some sort of perverse "shipping weight" specification. I was hoping someone put one on their own digital scale for verification. My .22LR trap weighs 4.1 oz in the titanium configuration. 2.1 pounds seems prohibitively heavy.
I too would like it to be lighter but not a big to me if it’s not. By the look of the wall thickness on each of the stainless baffles I would guess the 2lbs is accurate. If it feels too heavy on my rifles I might decide to turn a small amount of wall thickness off of each baffle from the inside diameter. I’ll hopefully weigh mine this week and let you know. Keep in mind it will weigh a small amount more since the baffles and end cap will not be drilled out.
This one will. It's there 5.56/.30 cal do anything setup. They make no mention on whether this is rated for full auto solvent trapping or simply a slower drip, drip, drip trapping of solvent.
Of course you would, as would I and everyone else on this board. The reference to which speed you could trap solvent was a tongue in cheek joke about the silliness of the entire ordeal.
I'm going to try and find a solvent trap kit that weighs less than this all steel setup. I don't know if that is economically possible vs just buying a commercially available setup (and waiting a year).
Maybe I'm over thinking this and weight doesn't matter that much on a bench queen and occasional rapid "solvent trapping."
Give me a bit and I’ll try to put together a partial review of an all ti setup from another trap company. I haven’t thoroughly tested them but so far it’s been good. I don’t want to derail this thread though.
Granted, I am still waiting on my approved Form 1 to come back, but what I like(d) about Quietbore is...
- One order gets you the outer tube, the cones, the end caps, etc. I want easy, this was easy.
- The drilling jig. They claim that with the guide, the runout will be less than .002". I don't have a lathe, I don't even have a drill press. This is perfect for guys like me.
- It's got titanium internals. This is a picture of it before any material has been removed. 4.0 ounces.
I ordered one of the .22 suppressors with titanium and engraving this past Monday night at 9:30. It shipped Tuesday and was delivered Thursday. I am very impressed with how quick they got it out to me. I’m also impressed with how nice the suppressor is as well. Now if I only the eforms would work so I could get a form 1 submitted.
Is the website still not working for you? I just logged in to check on mine and everything appears to be fine.
I am not capable of looking at the can on the right and thinking of anything besides the typical movie/TV pipe bomb. I will anxiously await a full review to see if it works well enough to justify the "budget" build of $350 + a $200 tax stamp. I'm intrigued by it, but cautious.
I had tried quite a few times yesterday with no luck but it did start working again last night.
I think the masses have figured out the form1 efile these last few months. I've efiled a new form 1 every month for the past 3 months and each one has taken longer than the last....
Way better than 9-12months though...

okay so i'm just trying to understand this better.
starting from beginning... I order my "trap" first, do the Efile/form1, wait for approval, then turn the "trap" into a can by drilling it out? are these the steps?
how do I get the serial number? is that needed before or after the form 1 file? (please excuse my ignorance)

You designate (make up) your own serial number. Individual or trust name, location, caliber, model, and serial number will be put on form 1 and have to be engraved on the suppressor.

that be a good register engraving ..( PipeBomb#1 ) ...lol
Looks not that big a deal, but.. the weight is a little overboard on that one, I feel like I am back in 1991 with 2Lb. Magnum Cal. Cans .
.
I might have an overly-creative imagination regarding fear of unlikely events, but my serial number was simply my last initial followed by "-001" and my next one will be "-002". You'll note that I'm stupidly optimistic by giving myself 999 items before I need to revise this convention.
I had grand plans for all of the cool/cute/funny names for my trust, suppressor models, serial numbers, etc. Then I realized I was going to be making legal documents, highly regulated NFA items, and there wasn't much room for humor should something not go perfectly according to Hoyle.
Basically 2lbs as is before drilling holes.
I’m going to chuck it up and turn some material off the ID of the baffles and maybe some off the end caps.
I can't remember if you said that you received your stamp yet, but I am really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this after you have it drilled and have some rounds down range. This is obviously not a good candidate for hunting, but it would probably work just fine for a bench rifle.
Form 1 was submitted on 9/15/19 so it’s going to be about another month.
I did remove 0.030” off the wall of the baffles from the ID. The wall thickness started out at 0.096”. I left a section of the wall alone since each baffle seems to indicate from the inner diameter on the next baffle it rests on.
Removing this amount of material from each baffle resulted in a total reduction of 0.142lbs. This might not seem like much but it was exactly the same weight as one entire baffle before removing material. So it was like removing one baffle and ended up being an 8% reduction. I’m guessing drilling holes in the baffles and end cap will net another 0.200-0.300 lbs. so I’m getting closer to 1.5lbs. It’s hard to see the step of material I left at the original wall thickness but here’s a photo anyway.
