Several wraps of the screen creates a dense layer that’s thin but still allows air through. A small repair roll is pretty cheap.

I’m not sure the pads last very long. Try this torture test.

Take a piece of each material, one in each hand, and wad them up several times.…Read more

The factor is bigger for centerfires. You have a trade off between size and effect.

There is a direct relationship between bore volume and required can volume. I don’t have a reference for airguns. Just experience with trial and error. There are other things that also affect sound.

Being that they’re wrapped and welded together, they vary a little bit in their dimensions.

Simple designs are wonderful. I had the design in my head for a while and just had to wait for work to slow down so I could play in the shop.

You guys would freak out if I posted pics of the jig I made to actually mill the bushings. It involves a 1/2-13x 4″ long bolt thats been pressed into a drilled out piece of…Read more

A good starting point would be a target of 3-4 times the barrel swept volume for a finished shroud volume (not including baffles or internals).

Thanks.

The ones I used came from a local supplier we use at work.
McMaster -Carr deosn’t list the insert dimensions but the ones I used were for a 1/2″ Mueller Y-strainer. I think they’re model 590’s.

Different strainer designs may have different insert dimensions. A…Read more
