Advice on suppressor design

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.

Advice on suppressor design

Post by The_Other_Guy »

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

I'm wanting to build a 5.56 suppressor to pin/weld to a 12.5 upper as a single stamp rifle. Material will be 17-4 and construction method is tig fusion. This is a mini reflex design that will add 100mm to the OAL.

40mm OD
1.5mm tube X section
2.5mm blast baffle
1.5mm baffles

I'm not trying to build the best suppressor ever, but I would like your help to make improvements before I engrave. Below is a screen shot from Catia. Image
