Re: How many silencers can I make as I do R&D?

What's being conveyed is this: but there exists verbiage which alloys for R&D, w/o paying ITAR. Not exactly sure how to be granted or prove such. I believe if you go this route you'll need an LLC so once you stop paying your FFL license the LLC can keep possession of the NFA items. Not 100% exa...

Re: dual purpose ???

I agree with fishman on doing essentially a 30 cal can then using a thread adapter for the 22 host. however i'd add a wipe into the design for the endcap or make the "endcap" threaded to accept sliencerco's or rugged's "front caps" then buy 22 cal and 30 cal caps.

Re: which two tubes from Titanium Joe

I didn't use titanium but I did 1.5x.065" tube with 1.375x.035" spacers on mine. ended up having to clean up the spacers some they still ended up about .028" thick(the wall thickness on the 1.5" was a hair more than .065 so the ID was 1.366"). I machined an adapter for my li...

Re: Small supressor for full house 300BLK

I would like to start by saying I'm a nobody when it comes to suppressors lol. just been reading alot and have done 1 form 1 with 1 more to do. that being said I would think given the confines of your design 1.375x4.5 I would try and maximize volume as much as possible. also being that your doing su...

Re: another modular suppressor question

There are two landmines to avoid. 1) you are not allowed to make "spare parts" - so make sure that your design would include features such that a baffle from one section couldn't replace a baffle (or spacer) from the other. I'd say different dimensionally or welded stack would be appropri...

Re: another modular suppressor question

Just thought of something that I feel would make this entirely safe to do. If I used a tube with a thicker wall thickness on the modular section (good idea on not calling it an extension) not only would this be needed to have sufficient material to thread it but the baffle stack for the modular sect...

another modular suppressor question

I was just reading on another forum that as long as you do it correctly you "can" lawfully build a modular suppressor? For example I'm wanting to build a 9mm can like some of the commercial cans that allow a K configuration (short) here's what they mentioned of safe ways to keep it legal. ...

Re: monocore vs welded cones. 300 blackout

I'd never discourage anyone from learning and building anything, but...... A lathe is going to cost as much or more than a good commercially made silencer. Once you buy a lathe, you need lots and lots of other tools to use with it. Bits, chucks, holders, measuring instruments...lots of stuff. Yes, ...

Re: 7.62 vs 30-06. For a bolt gun would you get a .308 or 30-06

my personal take is .308 is more plentiful and is cheaper to shoot in the regard that it's easier and cheaper to buy brass, it's more common generally, there's mil surplus ammo out there(not so with 30-06 these days) and if your into the whole steel case garbage there's that available too. The 30-06...

An 06 is an ammo manufacturer, how is it ok for them to make or repair a can? Just asking 'cause I don't know....

T-Rex thats pretty interesting. but the part get's a little grey is wouldn't a "replacement endcap" still constitute a "silencer part" seems to be contradicting.
