Form 1 suppressor build
bkoenig:
Sure, I should have the .22 done in the next week or so. Is your Mosquito threaded 1/2-28?
RobertH:
i have an adapter for it. otherwise, its some weird metric crap.
bkoenig:
Sounds good, we'll give it a try.
Got the tube threaded for endcaps tonight. This was the part I was most nervous about, since I had to use a steady rest for the first time. And my steady rest is a home made job. It worked ok, though, so now it's on to the endcaps. My ball mill also showed up, so I can cut the scoops and ports into the baffles. The baffles also may need a slight skim off their outside diameter since they're fitting really tight in the tube right now. Once they're all crudded up there's no way they'll come out when they're this tight.
JimP:
bk, have you seen these:
bkoenig:
I've seen them and honestly I don't see the point. If I'm going to wait 6 months and pay $200 for a stamp I'm going to do it right. Also, the ATF considers replacing a baffle to be the same as building a new suppressor, which will land you in the pokey. It seems to me that screwing a new filter on would constitute a baffle replacement in the ATF's eyes. NFA regulations are completely arbitrary and subject to the whims of the government so I couldn't say for sure, but that thing seems legally dubious.
