Carothers and Guns

Was able to briefly try a friends AK and the new US Palm EOS-AK (printed by B&T). Pretty impressive and solid, maybe not one I’d want to shoot hundreds of rounds through in a range session but pretty impressive

LGS didn't tell me that there was a problem on their end with the ATF forms for my .22 can, apparently somehow had their old address. So they had to resubmit the paperwork about a week and a half after I thought (actual submission date was Friday, 3/27). :rolleyes: A little irritated that they didn't let me know that, and I told them as much. 🤨

So, with that new submissions date, my wait was right at the average March wait for a form 4 trust, 25 days.

Anyway, here it is! 😎

The 3D printed baffles are interesting. They've machined the outer diameter smooth (good) and it's a nice slip fit with the outer sleeve.

You can see the rougher interior due to the DMLS 3D print. It's really difficult to photograph well.

They were smart with how they made this can. The outer sleeve has no threads, just a small taper machined into the ID of both ends of the tube (could almost call it a large chamfer). From a manufacturing perspective, that is a huge cost savings, almost no machine work on that part.

The 2 end caps are threaded, and screw directly into the 3D printed baffle stack. They have a small taper at the base of the threads that interfaces with the matching one on the outer tube, which forces everything to self-center. Everything is DLC-coated titanium. Easy, simple, smart design! 😎 :thumbsup:

Can't wait to try this thing out this weekend!!! 😁
