homemade suppressor

[Pa. Patriot]

Class 3= A fully automatic firearm. That's what my paperwork says, but hey, the ATF could be wrong.

PA Patriot and MR Bell, I would like to make a suggestion. Before this topic becomes a cluster f**k and any more hard feelings are generated and for the good of the Forum and it's members, simply make a public statement to the topic starter that in fact he can legally make and install and use a potato as a suppressor. It comes down to the manufacture of the suppressor, IE; fitting it on the firearm and having it in one's possession.

To the topic starter, make a paper copy of their statement and put it away for that rainy day. The Gov. operates with the knowledge that it has all the time and recourses in the world and will in time take all of your assets and freedom in your prosecution.Not to mention the nasty stuff that will happen to you in prison. Oh and BTW, if convicted of a felony, you'll never own a firearm again.

PA P and MR. Bell, you do realize that at this point one could see the both of you as, at worst co-conspirators and at least enabler's. All of this over a potato....

I await for your statements to be posted.

PS, If I am proven wrong I will quickly admit being so.

How did I miss this nonsense?!?

Do I know if a "potato" has ever been approved on a ATF From 1?
-- No.

Would the ATF even approve a Form -1 for a potoato?
-- I have no idea

Do I care?

-- NO?

Stimpy. Who cares about the damn potatoes?

READ the thread again, FROM THE BEGINNING...

The original poster asked about making a suppressor.
He said nothing about potatoes!

The correct answer was posted. IE: YES, on an approved Form 1

-THE END

The potato nonsense was a side bar of the discussion that is meaningless to the OP's original question.

As far as your drivel about being co-conspirators? Give me a break. You don't even understand the NFA process, as indicated by your inaccuracies in your posts.
If you applied for a "potato suppressor" on a form 1, one of two things are going to happen.
1) The ATF will approve it and you can make your one time use potato suppressor.
Of course, nobody will do this.
2) They deny the application and you don't make the supressor.

No way in hell is that considered "conspiracy".

Please refrain from accusations and continued posting of legally inaccurate crap like this in the NFA forum. That kind of childish crap makes the whole board look bad.

If everyone would have just listened to me when I suggested we stop discussing potatoes in here, none of this would have happened.

I'm getting a chair and a megaphone.

Now what does everyone have against potatoes all of a sudden??? LOL

A form 1 from the ATF can be submitted to make.....suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs by anyone legally able to do so. Only certian DDs and machineguns cannot be made by an individual. Although on another board a guy actually got an approved form 1 back for a machinegun! After a month of phone calls to verrify if he could get in trouble if he did the ATF admitted their mistake and refunded his money.

If they could do that I doubt there would be a hold up with the potato.....

ok i called the nfa office of the atf today and asked about filing a forum 1 for a suppressor if i was over 18 (20) they asked me what state i lived in i replied pa he said "affirmative" told me what paper work to fill out and send in so the big mastery is solved you can make your own suppressor and in pa at least you can do it at the age of 18

[Mtdew]

Yes......you can use a potato as a suppressor......as long as you register it with the ATF via form 1. After doing that do you really wanna shoot your $200 potato?

Yes you can make your own suppressor after getting an approved form 1 from the ATF. You will however need to be sure you have the specs for your design as it is required on the form. Any change to the specs after the form is approved will leave the form invalid however so know what you are doing and how you are doing it before you plunk down $200 on a peice of paper. You will need at the very least a lathe with many bits, a drill press and possibly a welder depending on your design.(type depending on materials used) You will also need the knowledge to design said supppressor and use the mentioned tools. I would say you are probably better off just buying one though. The big companies spend big bucks on R&D and I doubt that one of us could do any better than one of their designs much less have it look as nice.

Actually specs are not required at all including length... only the caliber.

If anyone dosen't belive me i'll post pics of approved F1's

C'mon guys!

We're supposed to be a community of mature gun owners looking to enrich our breadth of firearms knowledge!

It's not nice to pick on fellow forum members.

I, for one, am prepared to take Mr. Stimpy's potato issue very seriously.




Why can't you???
