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.

From first hand experience the threaded end caps will come off and all the baffles will stay locked in from the buildup in the pockets in the spacers. Run it up to 800*F and its gonna be full of carbon, run it north of 1100*F and you will have legit rings of copper deposited from the jackets on the rounds.
We run threaded cans on machineguns & never had any of those problems.
It helps to clean them when needed.

You misread my post. Threaded end caps are fine IMO and not what I was talking about. My comment was about the gaps in the spacers which would fill with carbon and copper and require you to press them out of the tube once the caps are off.

You could probably fit two more cones in the space the blast baffle is in.
it was done as a combo of "old" and new. yes two more cones could prob fit (and it may get a touch quieter).
blast baffle is bombproof and durability was mentioned.
