Japanning Suppressor Instead of Cerakote?

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.

Japanning Suppressor Instead of Cerakote?

Ran across this informative video on a technique that gives
hard coat on metal ... as in the old tools I saw in 1930s
family's tool box. Fun playing in 1940s with metal planes
with this coating. Still have one and it has
stood time. Gave heavy wear surface.

I don't think that would handle center-fire temperatures, or high volume rimfire. I guess there is one way to find out!

I similarly felt that it would not survive hi-Temp
but club member asked what temp would
Japanning be cooked at and would center fire
be hotter.

As 'Old Crows' ( You know who you were ;) ) used to say
'...we pass on the G-2, you do what you have to do with it ...
hey, those red meat balls on the fuselages of incoming planes
do not look US to me" :) :)
