Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Interesting way to store items in a flashlight.

Not endorsing, just saying. I could see how these would be beneficial for safe storage of items in a tube.

I had no idea you could just order baffles off of Amazon. That's awesome.

"There are no finger prints under water."
They are not baffles until a hole is drilled through them. But just give it some time and some internet warrior will write a letter to the ATF and these guys will get theirs.
I had to look at the pictures again to see that the holes weren't drilled yet. Genius.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Genius indeed. I love capitalism. Those baffles were a PITA to try to make myself.
My only concern with this method is that you cannot vary the spacing without cutting them down, and the most effective ones all seem to have larger spacing at the back (threaded end) and very tight spacing at the front (exit end).
ETA: To be honest, I didn't quite understand the purpose of expensive little storage spaces inside of a flashlight tube... but then I saw the "fr33ze plug" reference.

That's why we have such an uproar over the PROLIFERATION OF GUNS ON LINE. Because people DON'T LOOK TWICE, OR Read the description of said item.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Alright so is the concept here buy a Mag-light, buy these storage cups, drill them out to create baffles and then manufacture your own endcaps to use the flashlight body as a suppressor? if so what is the reference to "freeze plugs"? After obtaining the appropriate tax stamp of course.

Basically, there are certain size of freeze plugs that can fit (with some modification) into a 1.35" ID tube (the ID of a d cell maglite) Many enterprising individuals and companies are now providing materials and directions that help to make a Form 1 suppressor to be a relatively simple affair for even a novice handyman.
Other references include companies like SD tactical, Preppers Discount, Diversified Machining, among the ebay and amazon companies. A simple search of "solvent trap" and "Freeze plug suppressor" on a search engine will provide a wealth of information.
There are kits that even have the end caps.
