i am moving across state lines (suppressor friendly state) and have a trust for my suppressors. i have been trying to do some reading online to see if i am required to fill out a form 20 and am unclear. it appears from what i have read that i am not required to fill out a form 20 if all i have are s...

I decided to thread the suppressor onto thd barrel and check it with a rod down the barrel. The suppressor screwed onto the barrel with no noticeable runout, the rod sat nice and centered in the suppressor. After seeing this i decided to test fire it. The suppressor performed very well in my opinion...

I tried chucking the exit end of the suppressor in the lathe, and screwing the tap into the muzzle end, and then set my dial indicator on the shank of the tap. Set up this way i am getting .018 of runout. I can wiggle the tap up and down the the threads about .005. I think the slack in the tap is wh...

So my runout is too excessive to work? Mathematically it appears to me that it would work, but i could be thinking about it wrong.

My form 1 was approved a little bit ago, and i have been practicing on threading on my lathe. I have the external threads down, but i have really struggled bad with internal threads. Seeing as how this will not be the last suppressor i build, i decided to abandon the whole making it serviceable and ...

I would really prefer to stick to a monocore design if possible for this can. It just seems like it would be much simpler for my first go at it. There are several companies that make monocore 300blk silencers in the length i am building. They may not be the best, but i think it would suit my needs f...

As far as doing an sbr, i thought about it, but i have the gun setup for a certain look, it would not be useable without the suppressor anyway. I have a 10.5" barrel and a full 12" rail system on it. Without the suppressor it would be blowing gases all over the rail. I plan to do another f...

I wouldnt dream of trying to thread the entire thing. Sorry if i was unclearcon that. Im thinking i would thread somewhere between .5-1" at the very end. The rest would just slide down over the core. I am thinking of turning an angle at the muzzle end to help with seating/sealing.

Thanks for the replies. Both are very good ideas. I will have to give this some thought. The smaller holes would give me room for more baffles. It would take considerably longer to execute, but thats nots really a problem to me. I like the idea of leaving a ridge at the back of the core to butt the ...

Just efiled my form1 for a 6.5" 300blk suppressor. I understand i cannot build any parts at all until it is approved, so for now i am just planning and learning to use the lathe. Have been a long time lurker/reader here. I have learned a ton by reading everyones builds and want to say thanks. I...
