Just so you understand the seriousness of weapon manufacturing - to include prototypes - if you get caught with a PART of a suppressor and no NFA paperwork, you can and will be charged with a felony, 10 yrs in jail and $10,000 or more fine. They (ATF) don't play around with this stuff. You would need to be an FFL holder and a SOT manufacturer to make a suppressor
Violations of the Act are punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individual's right to own or possess firearms in the future. The Act provides for a penalty of $10,000 for certain violations.[6] A willful attempt to evade or defeat a tax imposed by the Act is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $100,000 fine ($500,000 in the case of a corporation or trust), under the general tax evasion statute.[7] For an individual, the felony fine of $100,000 for tax evasion could be increased to $250,000.[8]
