Suppressors Anyone built their own suppressor?

ive done a bunch of home made cans. with a form 1 of course :confused:. ive helped a dude (family member) do a wix... from a website of, or similar to. For a pistol though if it is a pistol that is partial to using the browning recoil action for slide movement, its NOT going to cycle. You look like solid snake racking the slide every shot. You'll need a recoil booster of a type to go on it. If its already threaded then you will need to make an adapter and find a booster that will A. thread the adapter then for the booster and then B. thread the adapter for the can. Or to simply effects, tap and die a proper ID and OD of a adapter to fit a booster. If it doesnt use a browning style recoil, like a gas/blowback operator gun, like say a ruger mk4, then it can thread on directly and it would be fine.
 
As far as how "supressed" it is...it works fine actually. In regards to sniperhide and the precision shooting world...no idea. Never tested it for accuracy, SD or ES....or anything really. I was cool with no baffle strikes. Win in my book.
 
Form 1 suppressor sa really becoming easier and easier. Basically every part is available online nowadays to construct one. Tubes, baffles, adapters....everything. All you need to do is decide what your needs are and what style of baffle you want to use. We built many Form 1s back in the day when cans were exorbitantly expensive but honestly the price is coming down to not a LOT more than the price you would need to pay for parts. Of course if you are a machinist and capable of building your own from scratch then the savings will be much better. Of course this is all depending on what you are looking to build.

The lead times on a form1 home built and a regular form are the same so get a couple sent in if you want to build a couple. All you need to do is serial number the tube and give them the dimensions and caliber. After your paperwork comes back you can take your time in assembly.
 
A close friend of mine has been building them off of some cheap kits he’s been ordering (Id have to ask him who makes them but they have all worked supprisingly well. Next time I get a chance to shoot with him I’ll sit down with him to do a proper test with them to se the measurable results. He’s been running them on his glocks and RPR.
