Aim7 AlphaCone For Archer Series 1-1/8″ x 28 Front Cap
Certainly! If we adjust the Outer Diameter (OD) of the Alpha-Cone to 1.291 inches (instead of the previous 1.125 inches), this will affect how the Alpha-Cone fits within the suppressor system, making it slightly larger in diameter. Here’s the updated breakdown:
Updated Alpha-Cone for 1-1/8×28 Threads (with New Outer Diameter and Length):
Key Features and Adjustments:
- Threading: 1-1/8×28 (1.125 inches in diameter, 28 threads per inch)
- The 1-1/8×28 threading remains the same, meaning it’s still intended for suppressor tubes designed for smaller caliber firearms (such as .22 LR or .223/5.56mm).
- Material: T6 Aluminum
- The 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum ensures that the Alpha-Cone remains lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for suppressor components that need to withstand high heat and stress.
Updated Alpha-Cone Dimensions:
- Outer Diameter (OD): 1.291 inches (32.85mm)
- The updated OD of 1.291 inches is larger than the previous 1.125 inches. This would make the Alpha-Cone more compatible with suppressor tubes that are designed to accommodate slightly larger diameters. It’s possible that the suppressor tube itself has a larger inner diameter (compared to 1.125 inches) to allow for this increased OD.
- This larger OD could provide more surface area for a secure fit within the suppressor housing or mounting system. It might also help with gas redirection efficiency and allow for a greater volume of gases to be managed by the cone.
- Inner Diameter (ID): 0.85 – 1.05 inches (21.5mm – 26.7mm)
- The ID would still accommodate the same gas flow path through the suppressor. The inner diameter remains flexible to fit various caliber setups, particularly in the smaller caliber range that uses 1-1/8×28 threading.
- Length: 0.761 inches (19.3mm)
- The length of the Alpha-Cone is still 0.761 inches, making it a compact piece within the suppressor. This short length ensures that the cone doesn’t take up excessive internal space, which helps maintain the overall compactness of the suppressor system.
Key Considerations with Updated Dimensions:
- Outer Diameter (OD) of 1.291 inches:
- With this increased OD, the Alpha-Cone is likely designed to fit within a larger suppressor housing or a tube with a larger internal diameter to match the new OD of 1.291 inches. This would be ideal for suppressor systems that have more internal space to accommodate a larger cone.
- The increase in OD could improve the gas management and efficiency of the suppressor, allowing for more precise redirection of gases, which can contribute to improved sound suppression and recoil mitigation.
- Inner Diameter bore: .51″
- Length of 0.761 inches:
- The shorter length still makes the Alpha-Cone a compact and efficient component. Its smaller size ensures that it doesn’t take up unnecessary space within the suppressor while still performing its intended function of gas redirection.
Final Thoughts:
The updated Alpha-Cone with an Outer Diameter (OD) of 1.291 inches is better suited for suppressor systems that feature a larger internal diameter to accommodate this increased size. This could be ideal for suppressors intended for slightly higher-performance or larger-caliber setups, where enhanced gas redirection is necessary.
The shorter length (0.761 inches) helps maintain the compact design of the suppressor, allowing for efficient gas flow and noise reduction without adding unnecessary bulk. The increased OD could potentially improve the suppressor’s overall performance, especially in terms of sound suppression and recoil management, by providing a larger surface area for gas redirection.
If the suppressor tube you plan to use has a corresponding internal diameter to match the 1.291-inch OD, the Alpha-Cone would be an excellent addition to your suppressor system, optimizing its overall effectiveness.
