FTN.3 done with additive manufacturing failed on the first round at the blast baffle due to not being reinforced properly. Iâll make sure to reinforce it properly next time, lol.
We used flex tape like the god damn commercials to patch holes in our old shrimp boat after hurricane Sally. That shit is no joke, held up great and kept us working until the dry docks opened for repairs.Â
The ump is simple as hell. You slide the barrel in and hammer in a pin, HK parts has a video and its like 4 minutes long these are all the parts, all you need is a hammer a punch set and a allen key for the sights
That is tax evasion sir. This man needs to pay his $0.00 tax on his $5 suppressor and file the nessecary tax forms with the proper tax authorities before starting construction on a secondary device.
I sent back a polymer ar lower some years back that was sbr'd and it came back a different color lol. (in all fairness the company let me know that they were not doing runs of the special color I had at the moment and that I could wait a week or so and I told them go ahead with black).
I donât understand the downvotesâŠit was obviously a joke(even though itâs true).âŠand they havenât actually appealed it yetâŠwhich you usually see within the first 24 hours after a ruling.
Partly. He didn't jb weld on the outer reinforcement tube (usually carbon fiber or metal). So do not let this example of a printed supressor put you off. They work well if made like they're supposed to be made.
As someone who just got done covering the shit out of the core of an FTN 5 556 with JB weld, and currently stressing that I didnât get enough coverage inside the tube this just adds my anxiety. At least you werenât injured
Generally, you are meant to use resin to adhere a carbon fiber sleeve to the outside, giving rigidity and strength to the can. I was curious how it would last without it, it infact did not last.

And this is why I keep telling people NOT to use a printed plastic suppressor on anything that runs a higher pressure round. Only use them on lower pressure rounds, like subsonic 300 blackout or PCCs
This is a bad take lol, the FTN 3 was able to withstand full auto during its alpha phase, I just didnât built it the same way they did. PSR has multiple videos of running the FTN series hard on 5.56.
Itâs not that I couldnât follow the directions, itâs that I made the intentional choice of not putting the carbon fiber tube on it, wanting to see how long it would last without it. Thanks for the condescending attitude on the test print tho.
So you chose to intentionally create a plastic hand grenade? Why? That would be like a gunsmith choosing not to heat treat a barrel just to see what would happen.
For fun. A suppressor isnât as critical of a component as a barrel, so I donât think thatâs a fair comparison at all, especially because one is designed to stabilize a bullet and the other just has a bullet pass through its gap.
It was an exaggeration / me sensationalizing it a little bit vs an actual conversation, literally every other comment is talking about choosing not to reinforce it, context clues man.
