Silencer made from stuff at Lowe's

[rudiepop]

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.

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?

[TlWheatley]

Sounds great but I would not Carry it out.

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?

Either a troll or someone looking for a decade in "Club Fed."

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 don't think rudie is a troll. He's posted quite a few times before.
