Ti surprise

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.

Ti surprise

Post by plodder »

Call me ignorant, but I had no idea that Titanium is flammable! :oops:

Magnesium I knew about, but I thought Ti was a wonder metal of the space age.

A few thin shavings, a little spark and instant eruption! Fortunately it poofed and subsided so fast I didn't have time to panic. It's not the stupidest thing I've ever done, but it's probably the worst that I'll admit to.
Still awaiting an original & riveting thought for signature line; stand by...........

Steel wool or very fine chips and a 9V battery make great fires........
