If I wanted a suppressor I'd get something better. If you get one of these don't modify until you get the stamp back from the ATF. I wouldn't even take it out of the package if shrink wrapped.

Depends what youre doing. Some of the solvent traps and just undrilled silencers. Easy to make work well. Some not so much.

I have no intentions in ordering one that was my point I would advise anyone not to reply to a unsolicited email.

Simplest possible answer.
Scammers mining for "gold".

Sometimes I actually submit the emails to the ftc fraud system.

Report Fraud

Protect your community by reporting fraud, scams, and bad business practices

reportfraud.ftc.gov

Sometimes I respond with a screen capture of a fraud submission with comments like "Guess who's going to get a "No-Knock" warrant visit.

If you use Gmail you can do user+website@gmail .com when you sign up with something so you know where your information is leaking from. It also makes it easier to auto delete them if you do get a leak.

These days better safe than sorry, right? There's nothing paranoid about being careful.

Just unnecessary.

I actually finished the work on one of those for a guy the other month. It took two holes. But I looked at his tax stamp first. He said it took less than a month to get the stamp back while another friend has been waiting for six months for the stamp for a manufactured suppressor made about the same.

I buy that stuff all the time. It's just raw materials until you make it a silencer.

True. And the ATF just recently busted a guy, closed his business, and confiscated all his product, which was simply a metal business card with the outline of a couple of parts etched on the card. And of course stated anyone in possession of said card was in violation of the law and subject to arrest for possession of parts to make automatic weapons. Remember "The X Files?" Trust no one.

He got busted for his other line that was stamped out except for a few nubs.

Which has little to do with the fact that the cards with several outlined parts were declared essentially completed parts. Hard to argue the ATF didn't do that as it is a matter or public record.
