Your home state has no bearing on any of this. Your current residence does. The state you live in may require special considerations that may or may not require a copy of orders assigning you there. Call a local NFA dealer and talk with them, I am sure if you are near Bragg or Lajuene (sp) the deale...

I can't answer your questions, but am interested in following along with your build.

The 5.56 Saker wasn't designed for .22 LR use. The internals aren't favorable for that round, but a much higher pressure/velocity round like the 5.56. Look at some of the internals from successful 22LR suppressors vs. 5.56 or .30 cal cans. Not just size either, but the baffles, spacing volume et al....

What others have said ^

If you're intent on dimpling on a drill press, buy a $20, 1/4" ball mill, keep the pattern tight (edges overlapping),
don't go that deep and take your time.

Never thought of this, I only have RDS' on my rifles, and none of them have ever gotten dirty from shooting suppressed, wet or dry. Not saying it won't happen, but it hasn't for me yet. I think the dirtiest for me is shooting my 10.5" SBR, 5.56mm with a .30 cal can. The whole insides get filthy as a...

The larger bore of a 45 can would indeed reduce the already very unlikely chance of a baffle strike. If you only plan on shooting 9mm through it, a 9mm dedicated can, properly mounted on quality host/barrel/piston, and maintained, will also significantly reduce or eliminate the chance of a baffle st...

Welcome!
Any plans to form 1 a suppressor by chance?

I keep a copy of my stamps in an expanding envelope in my range box. Lately I've taken pictures of them on my smart phone and have them on the phone and in the cloud (internet email). If I am shooting, I should always have one or both on me.

adjustable gas block tuned down

...means a smaller gas port.

Your choice of ammo, or powder if you reload your own can have a huge impact on how dirty it is getting.
COMBLOC ammo is notoriously dirty stuff.

That look outrageously fun.
Neat translation of an AR/belt fed Browning.

Shooting suppressed is inherently dirtier, but not that dirty. As above, I can shoot hundreds and hundreds of rounds without having a grit induced ftf/fte issues, and yes, it do get dirty. A heavier buffer/spring combo will help hold the bolt blosed a tiny of a fraction longer, which will help reduc...

It will help some sure, also look into an adjustable gas block for even more gas control.

What is the finest resoluion your printer can do realistically?

Very interesting advancement in manufacture this whole 3D printing is indeed.

The Leonidas is the integral AR solution right?

Would be a fun system to have.

...You can't be arrested over stuff that's not illegal... Bullshirt! You absolutely can. You MAY eventually (2 days, weeks, months...) get out. You might not even have a conviction on your record. BUT, you will be poorer, and pissed off, and lots of other things. And you will, absolutely, forever a...

The shop told me they would have to wait until they get the silencer to get the serial number. If I buy from Silencershop they give the stuff right away to the shop? I'm a little confused now lol. Real simple process: You buy direct from Silencer Shop. Silencer Shop Transfers your can to your local...

I think it is a general rage building against anything 'ATF'. People rage aginst anything that agrees with anything the ATF says or does. I can't speak for historical posts here, but across the wide spectrum of firearms forums, I've noticed a distinct uptick in "F the ATF and anything they say or do...

With your concerns, think the Phantom Ti would be your go-to can. Good sound suppression, inexpensive and light weight.

As others have stated, use Kroil as well when it happens again (we all know it'll happen again).
Kroil is an amazing penetrating oil, and a small bit goes a very long way.

I'm going to just go ahead and jump in, both feet first on this one and say 'yes'.

Wholly dependent upon the energy transferred from the bullet, to the various parts of the suppressor, the parts could be embedded in soft wall, cieling or range baffle material. Bet if you physically went to that range right when they opened, or right before they close for the day, explain the situa...

Looking at the website pictures, it doesn't appear it would take hardly any work at all to turn that into a silencer. A crappy one sure, but still a silencer. File off those little nubs, MIG/file in the voids in between the 'baffles' and add an outer tube, voila', silencer. Be even easier on a lathe...

Ares Armor getting in on the Sig style muzzle brakes now?
It wouled be more accurate if they called it a hydro-matical-atenuator-device (tube not included).

Very interesting video, lots of details and information to absorb.
This winter I think I will work down a subsonic load of my own.

Thanks!

Well slap my bare ass and call me donkey! I really want to see it now...tick...tock...tick...tock...
