Suppressors Building your own suppressor

[svt_tactical]

Can someone lay out the process involved in this? Fees? I have a can on a form 4 now but thought about trying to build my own for a 22 just for kicks.

Try www.silencertalk.com
They have a build your own section with designs and requirements.

Same "fee" as your form 4, you just will be doing a Form 1. Fill it out, send it off, once approved, build your can

Would I just make up a random serial and note that on the Form 1, and when approved, I just put the serial on the can?

Dude, that is like far out.

I love how this works...you have to pay the government just to weld some metal together.

SO basically if you filled the form out and then couldn't make one work you're SOL?

Man, you can't try your cutting your first chip before you receive your signed, approved Form 1.
