Frank I. Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Help needed? I recently purchased a Curtis M3A1 can and need some disassembly instructions. There is a video by "Machine gun Mike" on YouTube, but my baffles are different. I cannot get the threaded pieces that the baffles are in, there are very narrow flats for a VERY thin wrench, I it would take 2 of them to disassemble the stack. Anyone have a similar can/problem?

Frank I own one of the Curtis M3cans. Anyway you can post a pic or two so I can see what you are talking about? I can get to mine pretty quick if I know what you are looking for.

Frank I. Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 Hi, Thanks for the response. I put it back together, and back in the safe. Next time I clean it, I'll post pictures. BTW I used Break Through suppressor cleaner in an ultrasonic. Look NEW again. I have had good luck with that product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank I. Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 Pictures of the thin nuts I was able to unscrew two of them; the flat washer-type baffles are inside. The others are too tight, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 sorry... I've been out of town! Your unit is obviously an updated or modernized version of the one I got. Mine is exactly the same as Machinegun Mikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank I. Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 Thanks for the reply... I sent them an email a week ago, no response. There are no tools on their website. I think mine is more like a Shaw design (who as you know, was Curtis Tactical) Mine is very similar in construction to their MK45 suppressor baffle set up, most components in my M3 can are stainless steel. https://www.thundercans.com/thundercan-mk45-suppressor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
