Your right, my typo, it would be extremely hard getting those shock abs. into a 1 inch tube.
as far as the tape, if you put a single layer of electro tape around the barrel where the shock abs. touch the barrel it makes a very tight fit. You will have to twist it on since it is rubber against rubber.

yep i figured that out last night. i ended up cutting the front handguard down a couple inches. Then made the suppressor 6.5 inches. All i have left is to paint it with the plastic coat spray paint. I think this setup is gonna work well. i tested it with the electrical tape on and its rock solid. shouldnt move at all when installed right. i ended up getting the sock absorbers at Advnaced auto for $4.89 a pack (you need two packs) . oh and it looks like you used a precut 1.5" pvc pipe with some kinda flare on the end. Home depot sells 2 ft sections of 1.5" pvc for like $2. I just got one of those and cut it down with a chop saw. ill post pics of the unit when i finish it this weekend.
Good deal, yes i did use the precut, im gonna either cut the lip off the one end or just grind it off, not sure yet.
My experiment was to be used for a starters guide, something VERY simple.
No cutting required, just pop in 2 shock abs and rock n roll, lol.

That is wicked cool-I'm gonna make one for my Anshutz Super grade Model 54. Hell, while I'm at it, Think I'll make one for my 5" Nickle 27.

If you use aluminum make sure it doesn't come into contact with any steel on your gun as it will pit the steel-don't ask me how I know this
.
Not too hard to anodize aluminum at home. Interesting project, but I still wouldn't want to try convincing an agent it wasn't a real can. We are talking about the folks who decided a shoestring was a machine gun. You'd be better off using a smaller diameter tube inside so there's no question of sound absorbency.
That is an innovative solution! Commendations to the OP for a fun project.
One question, though. The reason for having a fake suppressor is....?
You can actually take it a step further with a fake AR...just dont forget to cut the orange tip off of the barrel

Sorry for the tease, guys...just couldn't resist. It DOES look like fun.
