NFA FFl Lisc.

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.

I stand corrected, this was what was told to me when I called Dept of State for clarification. Wish I had got my manufacturers license instead of just sales!

They will say yes because of money. If they tell you about the R&D exemption, they don't get their $2250. Which is stupid because now you didn't get the 07 FFL so they are really missing out on the money now.

Didnt mean to create a doody storm. For the cost of the manufactures ffl of 150.00 it well worth it to get it.
Thanks for all the info its great reading.

There's a form letter somewhere on the site that you fill in the blanks, print out, and send in.

I really am not interested in getting my SOT because of the ITAR thing now....I just wanted to make some SBR's and make the mounts for Wheelchairs for Wounded Vets at no profit but with ITAR involvement, its not worth it.... ITAR registration opens you up to international prosecution so no way im doing that.
