Fishing rod silencer
Ive made several silencers for my theoben rapids in the past using delrin for the tube . But delrin tube is quite expensive and on my little lathe takes ages to machine down to size (comes in 45mm od 30mm id so have to turn it down to 32mm od) . Ive always fancied making one out of carbon fibre but it costs a fortune .
A mate gave me an old carbon fishing pole to have a play with (cost .99pence off ebay) and this is how it turned out .
It measures 11″ in total but 2 1/2″ slides back over the barrel with a vented barrel bush .
Never thought to take a pic of the innards but there similar to the pics below except the carbon tubing is bigger (approx 40mm od ,38mm id)so I drilled 6 x 8mm vents instead of 10 x 5mm vents as pictured .I also threaded it 1/2″ unf .
The Carbon fishing rod tube is very slightly tapered but its not noticeable to the eye . Its very straight along its length so is ideal for making silencers where the baffle alignment is dictated by how straight the tube is .

I see why he has so many broken rods to play with, he can’t aim for crap, and hits the hard part! I would use my tongue and lube a pathway! Rookies!
Were those hair curlers?
When I was young, we would use those for “shims” when dating fat girls with a large breech. It resulted in many a fine shot, practically eliminated misfires, and helped prevent the dreaded “jack-knife”! That’s when the breech was so large, at high speed, the smaller round would slam into the barrel wall and go into a high speed skid. Embarrassing, and generally closed the firing range and resulted in a ban from re-entry.
I guess times haven’t changed that much.

LOL! You’re going to fit in with the people here well….
At 66, my rod’s a single shot! When it goes off, the only thing you can hear is my wife’s snoring.
