Description
Just a dinky little side project that I thought would be neat. I designed this for my own personal scattergun, which is the TS version. This thing should fit fine on most of the scattergun variants, though I'm not entirely sure if it will fit on the breacher version, because of the short barrel. If that's the case, making adjustments to the mount wouldn't be too difficult.
to put one of these together, you will need the following:
Assembly is pretty simple, just take the end cap of the suppressor and push it into one end of the abs pipe segment. Then take the printed baffles and shove them into the hole in the paint roller. Push it on until the paint roller is against the flared base of the baffles. Then take the paint roller/baffle combo and stuff it into the suppressor, with the flared base of the baffles touching the front cap. Take the rear cap and use the three holes and three of your nuts/bolts to secure it to the mount. It's easier to do that when the rear cap isn't on the suppressor yet. Now you can push the rear cap into the rest of the suppressor.
The caps should fit super tightly to the abs pipe, I had to tap mine on with a mallet if you ever have any issues with caps backing out, superglue those suckers in.
To mount it to your gun, first remove the front iron sight. then just slide the mount over the barrel. Once it's on, insert the last screw into the hole on the side of the mount, thread the nut onto the other side, and then tighten it down onto the end of your barrel. Hand tight is fine, you don't want to break the mount or warp your barrel.
I measured an average of 60% overall volume reduction when using the paint roller+printed baffles combo. If printed baffles aren't legal where you live, you can still get most of the sound reduction from the paint roller alone. Assembly is the same without the printed baffles, just leave them out.
