Very interesting project. Halfway through it I was wondering if you were gonna leave it bare metal. Then I got to the part about the VHT. Very good choice. Probably the best high temp coating available in a rattle can.View attachment 370753
Baffles, some stacked with spacers. Tube and brake to the left. Blast chamber spacer on bottom, baffle, first spacer, baffle, etc....

All the baffles, spacers, and end caps after first test firing 5 rds of 300blk subs.

Cutting turbulence notches in the baffles. This is optional. I cut notches in the first 6 baffles, I left the final 4 baffles un-notched.

Completed can taken apart and laid out. O-rings and anti-seize can be seen on the end caps.

Assembled can next to a Mystic. Shorter, lighter, seemingly as quiet.
Next I will abrasive blast the can, paint with VHT flameproof (I do not intend to use this with FA as I have other cans for that).
Sorry about the split-up thread, it took time to upload everything.
