I always understood that unless you possess a curent and valid ClassII manufacturers license along with an FFL it would be unlawful to manufacture any type of device which would lower firearm noise levels. Just my .02
Btw, I've been doing range evaluations using supressors manufactured by "Jet Suppressors" with 5.56, 7.62x39,51 and 54R, and Walther pistols in .22LR, 9mm and .45. Included in their waiver of liability form agreement there is a line which states that the disassembly of their suppressors beyond the levels necessary for maintenence will not only void the warranty but it's also a violation of NFA guidelines.
Trying to save a few bucks is never worth the risk of losing your freedom, the right to bear arms FOREVER, and the compromise of your personal safety from inexperience.
