Just a tip if you want to go titanium and save yourself some work .Go on Ebay and look for Titanium valves . Nascar drivers use them for one race and then they pull them and sell them on Ebay . Sometimes you can score them for 10 bucks plus shipping . Chuck up the stem to do the work on the shape of your baffle and then drill out the center to the correct caliber .

Re: Form 1 finally got here!

what metal are you using. by the look of your finished baffle the smallest end looks like it could start peeling away on the edges. Are you going to grind all the sharp edges down before you align them in your tube?

James, the outside tube is some ti tubing I got from you a while back. It will either be 4 baffles on a reflex design or 5 baffles standard (have not decided yet.

The baffles are 304 stainless steel, with 6al4v ti spacers. The smallest end will be trimmed back at the same time that I cut the gas bevel/deflector at the mouth. With the spacers and the way I am cutting them, alignment will not be an issue.
