multi caliber suppresor build questions

Post by zerofailure »

I have a question, I am goingb to build a suppresor, before I pay for a stamp I need to clarify something.
One place where I was going to buy the components from, said I could just swap out internals and just pay for one dtamp.
is t hat ldgal since form 1 asks f or the calibre
I do want multi calibers but figured was going t o need to build a few c a ns and get a few s tamp s.
Anyone know if you can change the b a ffles on the tube and be l e gal

you may not change the baffles.

you either have to make 1 can with 1 set of baffles to use on multiple guns
OR
make multiple cans with multiple sets of baffles and multiple stamps

Thank you. I thought so, but wanted to make sure

To make a multiple calibre baffle is it for the biggest caliber you will use, and then smaller will work Ie:30 cal will work f or 308 then down to 223
But what do you put on form 1 I heard you csnt put multi calibre

you put the largest caliber that it can be used for on the form 1, thats also what will be engraved on the can

Hmmm, some of the can's are coming with multiple choice endcaps - so baffles are the same but end caps you can buy in both 308 and 223, wonder if that's what he meant?.
