I see a lot are K baffle style, and only one "washer" style.... does anyone know the name/efficiency of the 9th and 11th in from the left?
does anyone know how they were made? (looks like maybe piece fabricated and then sleeved over....)

I don`t have any idea about the suppressors but that sure looks like an M72 LAW behind the Maker`s Mark;

You answered your own question. #9 was made for a .22, and #11 for a larger caliber, IIRC. They're both monolithic core cans. and weigh WAY too much for their mediocre performance.

Thanks Murph... you answered my question.
"monolithic core" is a term I hadn't seen or heard of before... and the mediocre performance answered the second bit about efficiency.

I do see corrosion resilience advantages with the monolithic construction, but maintenance of the suppressor should be as much a part of the firearm using it. That would explain the prevalence of the K and washer styles - efficiency, ease of manufacture, and maintainable parts.

thanks,
Des
