Lightweight Titanium/alloy moderator, custom one off.

[Thar]

As some of you know I help my mate out you is one of the UKs manufactures/supplies of Moderators. Doing a bit of R&D I made this one off prototype, some of the members on here have already seen this in the metal.

It is a modular design so I can add baffles for use on bigger calibres, the outer body is made of aircraft grade 7075 aluminium but the removable baffles are made of grade 5 Titanium alloy. It is 145mm long and 38mm in diameter all front mount of course.

Sorry guys it will not be going into production, as my mate has a better easier to manufacture moderator in development.

Looks like a nice piece of engineering! How much does it weigh and how does it perform?

Hi CSL

Thanks for you comment on the engineering, it weighs 260gm which is just under 2oz more than a A-Tec CCM, the wall thinkness is a bit over engineered and the Titanium baffles weigh a bit more than the CCM alloy ones, so it is only to be excpected.

The performance is about the same as my steel CCM A-Tec.

wont the alloy heat up and expand differently to the titainium so things could work loose,i prsume you havnt tested this yet ???
