    Very happy to have it back in my possession, but now back to square one. It’s one of the original TiRant .45s that I’ve had for years, and sent it in to have a couple of the heavily pitted baffles replaced...a lot of rounds through that can!

    I love this can...crazy quiet with the right ammo, and a lot of that is due to the baffle design. Short of waiting and hoping that PSA or whoever winds up with the design rights brings this back to life, anyone have an idea for where to find a replacement?

    Looking at Ecco machine, but it appears they only have the cone-type cups. Guess I can reach out to them, but thought I’d reach out to the hive mind first...

    thanks in advance for any input or advice.
     
    Can you find a good machine shop, have them scanned then new ones milled?
    Gonna be pricey, but......
     
    Question as I don't know. Are you replacing the TiRant with the solvent can or just using the baffles / cones. If the suppressor is already stamped and your just "repairing" it with parts from a solvent can do you have to get another stamp?
     
    Why not just put it back together and shoot with it, or do you not have all the parts?
     
    Don't put QB internals in your AAC. Send it to Nick at ECCO Machine. He makes all his own baffles, so I'm sure K type are not a problem.

    Also, don't go changing ANYTHING inside that can yourself. Otherwise, this thread is proof of your attempt to circumvent an SOT recore, and proof of "intent" to modify your suppressor.

    What's wrong with the baffles? are they damaged I can't tell from your pics.......
    I have the same can so would like to know what to watch out for.
    And I agree, mine is super quiet 45m
     
    That was just a stock pic of the K baffles to illustrate the design... Mine are just really heavily pitted after years of use; at least the aluminum ones are, the stainless steel baffles are still holding up pretty well.

    And yeah, after more research I realize I’d have to form one the new baffles anyway, and at that point I may as well just build a new suppressor. Gonna reach out to Ecco Machine on Monday.

    Stupid management at Remington had to screw it up for everyone with AAC cans or any other NFA items under the Remington umbrella... LOL.

    I’m just thankful I actually got mine back...would have been nice if it’d been returned with new baffles though.

    Based on my understanding, yes, I’d have to do another tax stamp...form one this time...even though I’d just be replacing damaged baffles in a suppressor I already own and have the tax stamp in hand. Only SOT holders can repair them without creating a ‘new’ suppressor as far as I can discern.

    I enjoy my membership in the military retiree check of the month club too much to risk it for something as stupid as trying to go around NFA rules.

    the baffles aren’t serial numbered, how would they know if you replaced them?

    I'm certainly not an expert on this, but that's not my understanding, and it's definitely not what a lot of folks do. As I read it, it seems to me that you could replace baffles and destroy the old ones and have no risk of "constructive intent" . Of course since they are a wearable part and there's no way anyone could tell, I'm sure most folks just do it and don't change the length or caliber of the can.

    The "constructive intent" is about making a new or materially different suppressor, not replacing warn out parts on a single suppressor. Of course, with the ever changing wizards of wisdom at the atf, it's really hard to say for sure. Seems that "if I did replace a baffle, I'd just make sure and destroy the old baffle or baffles, put it in my can and rock and roll. I know that several atf agents have been asked about this question and given similar answers as this.
     
    LOL, this thread alone is a perfect example of why we need to do away with the ATF. Reasonably intelligent people can read the same rules and get different interpretations. Law should not be subject to opinion.

    Then again, 90% of the hoops we have to jump through aren’t actual laws at all, just regulations made up by and enforced by unelected bureaucrats. I know, because I used to be one... Well sort of anyway. Their regulations have the same effect as law though, and running afoul of the ATF is not on my list of things to do this year.

    Regardless, I sent an email to Ecco machine last night to see if I can get in the queue for repair work. Gonna have a couple AAC 30 cal cans converted from the 51T mount to direct thread while I’m at it...at some point those mounts are gonna shit the bed, and with AAC/Remington no longer in business, I’ll need another option anyway. May as well have the work done by someone who appears to be very, very good at their craft before the line gets even longer!
