What's a "Form 1?" Also, I understand they (machined adapter) are legal to own, but if you screw a car oil filter onto one on your firearm THAT would be illegal as then it's a home made suppressor?

Too many damned laws these days.

Ohhhhhhhhh, you should have known better than to open the door that wide with me around here...

What's a "Form 1"?

A form 4 is a permission slip to buy a silencer. You fill out a form , pay $200, get fingerprinted and attach a picture and send it in. Takes over a year currently to get approved to buy one on a form 4.

A form 1 is a permission slip to build a silencer. You fill out a form online, attach a selfie and send some prints in, pay $200. Takes 3 WEEKS to get approved. Then you do some machine work , drill some holes etc. Get it engraved with your information and you are good to go. Depending on your skill with machine tools and hand tools and how well you can follow simple instructions you can make a bad silencer or a really good one.


Basically it comes down to how handy are you? Most people cant build their own silencer. Most people are soft.

Hmmm!

Are there places you can mail an incomplete off to get engraved, or do you need to be there?

Thanks.

Were one interested in doing a form 1 build from one of these traps, which variety would work well for 5.56?

You're askin' for a friend, right?

Nope, I want to form one a can for my AR pistol. I haz the tools necessary, and have always wanted a can. The DIY form 1 approach is not only cheaper and faster, but there's some satisfaction in building your stuff vs buying it.

Ti Tube from SD Tactical UNLESS you want a QD setup . If you do want QD get a Hawk innovative Tech ASR tube. You can use a Silencerco QD on one side ( $50 or $140 )

60 degree 17-4 or 303 Cones from Pure Performance Armory ( 7 @ $20 a pop and one heat treated cone for $24 )

Ti End cap(s) from preppers discount. ( $35 each )

Total cost for a QD can that will handle .223 or 300 Win Mag for that matter if you make it 30 cal is about $470. ( the QD mounts are $130 )
Non QD thread on closer to $250.

Doesn't sound like there's any machining in the above, just assembly?

You need to drill the center and clip the sides. And drill the end cap.
