Inconel Tube sources

Yes, it can be legal to make a silencer. For everything Form-1, from silencer designs that are easily made, to filing forms with the BATF, to 3D modeling. Remember, you must have an approved BATF Form-1 to make a silencer. All NFA laws apply.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

They told me they ARE available but I would have to buy a minimum of 250lbs of the same spec tubing to even place an order.

I could have done 100 at that time but they wouldn't budge.

Maybe I will try again.

I managed to get ahold of 2 Inconel 718 bars for baffles. Now I just need tubes so I can make a couple of fully inconel suppressors and so I can just TIG weld everything together.

Yeah, 250lbs of tubing would be rather above my budget. :shock:

You may be able to find some pipe at a dairy.That is the metal of choice in that industry.

One can use 316 or other tubing and weld it with the right filler….

Thanks! I'll definitely follow up that lead.

And if it's a dairy like the one in your avatar picture, I shall do it ASAP :P .

Why would they use inconel and not 304?
