Silencer made from stuff at Lowe's

I just finished making a silencer for my Sig Mosquito and the damn thing works like a charm, especially with subsonic ammo.

I have Glock I tricked out with a silencer years ago and I disected it with a band saw. I just got a new barrel for my XDm .40 and was going to get another silencer to fit it because the threads are different than the one on my Glock. (I screwed the silencer up when I tried to put it on my XDM, thats why I disected it)

Anyway, I saw how this thing was made and figured I would try making it myself. So I went shopping at Lowes and spent less than $20. bucks on a brass fitting and tube, and some PVC and 0-steel wool. It is a little bulkier than my old one but weighs less. I have put about 150 rounds through it so far and am just tickled to death how nice it works.I can't believe how easy it was. I will make a newer improved model for my .40

Anyone else done this and do you have any tips if you do? Especially on material and how to make it thinner. Thanks

Be very careful about posting this kind of stuff online. It could be in violation of local and Federal laws.
 
Bad juju!

You can make your own silencer BUT only after getting you $200 stamp back from BATFE and really big fires.


DO NOT EVEN THINK about doing this.

I love silencers and wish everyone had access to them, but pay up and do it legally!

Assuming suppressors are legal in your state...What are the laws about making your own suppressors? Still need a tax stamp?
 
You better figure out how to pay the tax! If you didn't obtain the correct license's you just screwed up! Go to Class III/NFA Weapons this site. Lots of info.
 
Anyone want to pitch in to put some money in his prision commissary? Help the guy buy some soap on a rope?
 
I just looked at this guy's profile.

"USMC vet 16 yrs, Strategic operations and tactical advisor 11 yrs, demolitions specialist"

I don't see how somebody could be a demo specialist and not know that supressors are regulated by the BATFE.
 
I didn't say he was a troll. It just seems impossible to me that someone who is licensed BY the BATFE doesn't know the rules/laws they enforce. I just find it very hard to believe.

And, if he is putting false information in his profile, and especially posting things like this, he needs to be banned before the site gets in legal trouble.
 
What I want to know is, what ever happened to the guy who claimed he committed homicide? He posted on here a few months back.
 
WOW! Some of you people sound like my grandma. Do I really have to post all of my license, stamp, qualifications and give a urine sample. Some of you need to get a freakin life.
Yes it is legal to build your own as long as you have the stamp.
Yes I have the stamp.
Bunch of children

Nope, still calling BS on this guy. He is either illegal or just plain stupid. He is wanting us to believe he paid ten times his cost in parts to register some pvc.

Just another thing that I believe the movies scared politicians into trying to prohibit...although many countries also ban them outright, while others make them available to anyone.

I recall as paintball was becoming popular, many places put together paintball 'silencers' which really did cut down on the noise...until the ATF came in and pointed out that if any of them could suppress the sound of an actual firearm by a certain amount, it would be considered illegal, and the supply dried up.
 
He said in his post that he dissected an old silencer. Needless to say it probably means he already has a stamp.

You need an tax stamp for each item. Unless you are setup as a class 3 dealer or manufacture then you can own multiple under that.

If he cut up the first one, then he would only have one to be covered by his stamp.
