Testing out my homemade suppressor

[DukeConnor]

Nice job. Better than my first experience with suppresors.
We were kids and my buddy heard if you shove a potato over the barrel of your 22 it will be like a silencer.
Perfect plan for shooting those pesky squirrels from his bedroom window.
We found out that a potato will explode when shoved on the barrel of a 22 rifle.

You actually need to do tha5 for a form 1 can.

As memory serves, yes.

Hey, I was just trying to help. You guys are right, I don't know the law, which is why I said I wasn't a lawyer. I was hoping to save the original poster some grief at the hands of the all too zealous govmt agencies. I didn't know you could legally manufacture your own (with a form 1 - whatever that is? please elucidate) everything I've seen has always said suppressors were illegal without jumping through the hoops and the $200 tax stamp. More info would be helpful for people to learn rather than just calling us losers or saying "fail" ...

sincerely, Cb

A quick Google search always helps

Many people are not familiar with NFA regulations. He was trying to help. I'd rather educate than call out fails.

My point was you need the governments permission, now I'm better informed to the correct process.

I’m not trying to be a prick. Most of us aren’t lawyers, all of us can get it wrong. My intent was to mark it so the newbie doesn’t add the info to the "truth file". Not ridiculing. Just lazy.

Good job. I have a Handi rifle in 300 blk. It's silly quiet with a store bought can and subsonics. Easy on ammo too because it's a single shot.

Funny reading the responses here. I was wondering why my “Don’t be one of those douchebags” thread was deleted without any notice to me! No PM, no email...just mysteriously DELETED! Like it never existed! But the content was: Why is it that some gun owners think they are “junior ATF officers” or something??? How about when you see someone with a silencer, or an SBR or full auto, you KEEP YOUR MOUTHS CLOSED!?? Is it somehow YOUR business all of a sudden, to ask about paperwork? Why is it some people feel the need to point in out a position, to bring attention to wrongdoing?? I remember another group of people that was always concerned with OTHERS paperwork. How about, DONT BE ONE OF THOSE DOUCHEBAGS!

I see now why my thread was so SECRETLY deleted.

I could give a rats ass who has papers or not, none of my business.
