Yep, I keep a stack of em just in case I screw some up.

Just FYI for everyone, my last set of prints I sent in looked horrible. I had serious doubts if they would be accepted. They were accepted so y’all don’t worry too much about them.

I've got two 5in 223 dedicated cans in with Nick now. My form 1s should be coming back any day. This will be can number two and three he has done for me. I simply will not use anyone else no matter the time frame. His communication, workmanship and professionalism is second to none. As some have stated above, I hope he make a fortune and he and his wife enjoy their working relationship. All positive feedback on my end brother. If anyone is hesitant, just freakin do it. I'm en route to probably another three of four cans this year. End goal, dedicated can for each host lol.

Sounds nice on camera. How's the blowback and what ammo were you using?

The blowback was noticeable but not too terrible. The supers were mostly Winchester white box and the subs were homemade 147’s over 3.5 grains of titegroup. I assume this is normal as well? Came out of the booster end of my can.

Sometimes carbon deposits,  bits of lead and even small pieces of bullet jacket end up loose in the can, even though there's been no contact with baffles or end cap.

Same stuff you'll find in a pile after sweeping an indoor range (well, not so much the carbon chunks), but trapped in the can instead of all over the floor.

My sub-load is 147 over 3.6 grn Titegroup. Prior to that I was using Accurate #5 and the blowback from my Octane 45 on a G19 was like a mini face sand blaster.

This is garnering my interest, and it seems like ECCO does some great work.

But I can’t find a website that I can really figure out anywhere.

Is there somewhere that I can look through what options he offers, and pricing so I can figure out what I want to do and start saving?

This is the link to form1suppressorboards with all that info (account required), if it's OK with ECCO I'll copy/paste the info over to here so that it won't be behind a login screen for others to view. I won't do that until Nick chimes in though...

Would a recore that involves modifying a tube to a modular design be considered custom work?

Well, everything I do is custom work.

If you're asking if it can be done, the answer is yes, I can cut the tube at some point and make a coupler as long as it won't interfere with engraving, provided you didn't submit any descriptions or drawings to the contrary with your F1.  It must retain the original F1 length in full configuration.

If you didn't receive any response, your message just got lost in the shuffle at some point.   I apologize for that, I try to respond to everyone quickly even if I can't help them at that moment.

Let me get caught up a bit and I'll start taking on parts orders again. Hopefully be there by end of this month.

Why are the tube kits called solvent traps and not just 80% suppressors or Form 1 supressor kits ?
Not using as some sort of workaround.

You cannot legally possess parts that are exclusively for a suppressor without a stamp, even a single baffle or wipe.

Adapters, mounts, muzzle devices are all fine. Un-drilled baffles are fine. Un-drilled end caps are fine. Don’t over think it.

Bingo.

US v Thompson-Center Arms was a US Supreme Court case from back in the 90s, but it came down to the Court telling the ATF that if you had a legal use for all the parts in your possession, even if an illegal use could also be surmised, the legal use must be assumed. TC was selling a kit that contained a short barrel, a pistol grip, a long barrel, a rifle stock, and a Contender frame, with the stock engraved with a warning to not use it with the short barrel, ATF objected, so they registered it as an SBR and sued to get their $200 back as it wasn't legally an SBR.  The ruling is here, and a good quote:
Two courts to our knowledge have dealt in some way with claims that when a [non-NFA] gun other than a [NFA] firearm was placed together with a further part or parts that would have no use in association with the gun except to convert it into a firearm, a firearm was produced. See US v Kokin (carbine together with all parts necessary to convert it into a machine gun is a machine gun); see also US v Zeidman (pistol and attachable shoulder stock found "in different drawers of the same dresser" constitute a short-barreled rifle) Here it is true, of course, that some of the parts could be used without ever assembling a firearm, but the likelihood of that is belied by the utter uselessness of placing the converting parts with the others except for just such a conversion. Where the evidence in a given case supports a finding of such uselessness, the case falls within the fair intendment of "otherwise producing a firearm."

Here, however, we are not dealing with an aggregation of parts that can serve no useful prupose except the assembly of a firearm, or with an aggregation having no ostensible utility except to convert a gun into such a weapon.
Without a suppressor, you don't have a use for baffles or bored end caps, but you do have a use for a solvent trap tube, threaded end caps, solid end caps, storage cups, etc.

@BigWaylon any more detail on this? How do I notify the ATF and do they acknowledge it? Can I go shorter and longer? What about caliber?

Also what’s the timeframe from stamp approval? Can I wait a few years...?

I think ATF has ruled you don’t need extras for a constructed suppressor. I figure on keeping an unbuilt but approved Form1 around to cover this case...

A lot of people thing you can only make it shorter, but that’s based on a repair Q&A. I have a copy of an email somewhere but can’t find it right now, where the Director said the length on the Form 1 is your best guess. If it ends up being longer or shorter you can let them know.

I think somebody here did the same thing with caliber, but can’t remember.

There’s no timeline I know of. But you can ask for a refund up to three years after you paid the tax, if you never get around to making it.

No need, you're here, now.

You can amend length (longer or shorter) and caliber. I've done both.
They accept it by email, but you must sign it in ink.

Make it stupid simple, don't go rambling on.

Dear ATF,

I'd like to amend the length, of an unbuilt silencer, on an approved Form 1.

Control No. 2019652325

Date of Approval 11/14/2019

Length to be amended to 9"

Thank you,

I was referring the announcement that you were suspending custom work and parts orders, but would continue with recores and mount alterations.

To rephrase the question, would you still accept such a request as recore work?

My apologies, I jumped the gun and thought you were referring to Form 1 cans in general and their quick wait time as opposed to F4 cans. I’ve had quite a few “discussions” lately regarding F1 vs F4 and the supposed lack of quality with home made cans.

Amen to this brother. I purchased 2000 rds of S&B subs to break in my SP5 just before the panic and now I'm torn between hanging onto them or quadrupling my money. I got them from my FFL at a real great price.
