Re: homemade suppressor
i was reading through this thread this morning and after eating fried potatoes for dinner i had an idea. would it not be cool as hell for someone to manufacture a suppressor that looks like a potato. have it shaped on the outside like a potato and painted to look like one.

Re: homemade suppressor
Okay, this is likely a stupid question.
HOW do you build a suppressor?
I'm not talking about paperwork, I'm talking about the physical act or getting a lathe and some stock and putting it together. Besides the money bit, I am VERY interested in a suppressor and like to tinker with stuff....
Any links?

Re: homemade suppressor
well i am a very novice machinist just getting started really. anyway you will most definitely need a lathe any good lathe will do and you need a good set of bits. what you need specifically will depend on how you plan to build it. a mill is good also for doing the baffle, again what type of mill depends on design. others who do this a lot can give you better insight.

Re: homemade suppressor
I've never built a silencer, but I own a couple and have researched the various designs a bit. For the beginner, the two key things (3 if you count the approved Form 1) are using a tube that will contain the enormous pressure without turning to shrapnel; and connecting the assembly to the weapon perfectly concentrically so that you don't get baffle strikes.
The guts can be simple. Home machinists aren't going to be making K baffles or other exotic twisty-turning things, but with some washers, a hack saw, a drill and an inner tube of slightly smaller dimension, one could make a decent unit after FIRST getting the approved Form 1 back with stamp affixed.
Remember, a 2-liter soda bottle will make an effective silencer for a few shots, so spacing a washer every inch or so should create enough dissipation to work OK.
Look at the old Maxim silencer designs, there are some pics of traditional internals to be found.

As someone with a professional interest in legal matters, I've noticed that the majority of members of PAFOA are intensely concerned with staying within the law, and therefor would not consider the quoted text to be a value-added feature.
But hey, thanks for spamming the site.Last edited by Pa. Patriot; August 19th, 2009 at 10:19 AM.
