just a wacky idea that popped into my head!
would it be possible to make a carbon fibre silencer, how would it be put together, wadding, iternals etc?

Yeah it's been done before... generally people buy a standard and re-sleeve.... or just buy one!
Steve
what do you mean re-sleeve?
It will be good for noise, as composites are generally very good at damping (compared to metals). The problem comes with finding suitable materials to
use. You would need to consider the temperature it will see. A lot of resins will not handle that high a temperature.
It depends on what you want... A straight tube with an inlet and an outlet would be easy. A one piece tube, with baffles, and a repackable section
etc, would be a little harder. You might do well to look at these guys to supply the bits you
need....
Theres a guy on here who sells them!!!
He's based in Greece I think but ships them to here to order.
Cheers,
James

The R1 carbon cans are just a skin over a sealed mild steel can. The can itself is not CF.
