This is a work in progress thread. I have no idea if I will build an actual suppressor based on this idea, but for now it is something fun to machine and work with. For the record I "do" have two F1 stamps on hand
The idea comes from the fact that traditional suppressors use baffles which work really well at suppressing the sound, but that create a significant amount of back-pressure on the chamber. This is of course pointless in a bolt gun, but in a semiauto gun, it generally creates an over-gassed system, more wear, but the worst part is all that debris and gas hitting you on the face - even more so if you are a lefty shooter like myself.
True, the OSS and the Flowmax solve this problem very well, but I don't want to spend $1k plus the stamp to get one, when I already have two stamps on hand:
OSS:
Flowmax:

So I figure I can try making something "similar" to reduce back-pressure on my semi-auto carbine (460 Rowland).
I found this thread with a full CNC design:
Oh man, this is a very neat design made possible with CNC equipment: www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=156031&sid=8d97df34d7bf6eb41a3efabec230335c&start=75
Of course I don't have a CNC anything, but I like his general idea of some outer vanes/flow and inner baffles:
