Zmachineworx belly up?

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.

Is Zmachineworx still in business? Their Facebook page hasn’t been updated since July and their website appears to be gone. ATF shut them down?

I think they are done. People on the Form1 board have been saying the same thing since a few months back.

I could be wrong, but the info I had was that Zmachine made all the "baffles" for DM. Since DM is so backlogged, Zmachine was stopping the retail portion to concentrate on DM's orders. Yes, this has been going on for some time now.

DM was producting the Z cones. People could just order the cones with the tubes from DM, so the market on that part was just people that didn't know you could get cones from DM (since he doesn't advertise them), or for people that wanted them for other tubes. Zmachine is having a closeout sell right now.

Through a few conversations on the form 1 board, it has been determined that this is the same company that screwed a lot of people back in the day with the name of Form1Builders.

I'd pass on anything they have.
