Another off-topic post, a tribute to the old WWII

I'm going cheap and simple! I don't have a lathe to work with, so I'm going to do the "freeze plug" design. I've read of several guys doing 5.56 cans with that design and holding up quite well, i figure the low pressure .300 will be just fine. Ie got the AR built up as a pistol now, sot eh barrel is already threaded. I found a slip over flash hider that I can use to line everything up, and work like a reflex style can. Make it up and weld it to my barrel, keeping it over 16" and tuck it under the YHM tube on there. Figure it's worth $200 to play with it! I've done a lot of reading on the silencer smithing forum at silencer talk.com and it looks like something I can do. I need to do a little more thinking and figure out how many baffles, spacing, etc I can have and gather materials to get a rough idea of weight.
