I have manufactured a Machinegun, legally licensed (see http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=1705), and have many Class III Dealers as friends. Even discussing how to manufacture something can be construed into "Conspiring to Manufacture"!! While discussing Sub-sonic ammo is not illegal, the external mechanics of keeping it quiet are!! BE CAREFUL!!!

Take care.

Yup, its a big no no for sure... unless you are doing it legally. he did mention paying the $200 tax stamp. it is legal (at least thats what letters from the BATF have led me to believe) to manufacture suppressors yourself provided 2 things...

1.) you CANNOT manufacture them for commercial purposes, and you may never transfer them to another individual.

2.) you MUST physically make it yourself. someone may guide you, but your hand needs to be running the tool the entire time.

3.) be aware that the can needs to be serialized just like a commercial one.

still, you are skating in a dangerous gray area when you start doing shit like this... much better to just buy one off the shelf and not worry about the ATF kicking down your door.
