Why does having this freak people out so much? "Constructive intent" ?
If that was the case then everyone that has a hacksaw and rifle or shotgun is about 100 times more guilty of constructive intent because only one action is needed to make a SBS or SBR while this takes many actions and power tools to make a can. |

That looks like a solid kit to make a simple form one can, but with my luck I'd buy one now to finish once I move and they will get raided approximately 20 minutes after my order ships. This kinda thing is something you should buy in cash, even with an approved form one in hand.

I strongly advise that you do NOT do what you were talking about in the portion of your post that I deleted and it wouldn't be a bad idea to edit your post, either. If you get a solvent trap, do NOT tell people that you plan to build a silencer without registering it. At that point, there is no rational argument against constructive intent.

How is having this any better? View Quote I would guess that people like them because they can build exactly the can they want. The maglite tube sizes are pretty much standard now for Form 1 builds so you can source various parts from different suppliers. While you may be able to buy a $200 aluminum silencer, it might or might not be in stock at your dealer and it may be heavier than what you need or you may want a steel blast baffle and the $200 can uses an aluminum monocore*. In any case, people like options and people like tinkering. *this is entirely speculative. I haven't seen these $200 silencers people are talking about so I have no idea how they are designed. |

and it was just a muzzle brake on that Sig... That Sig "muzzle brake" didn't require any machining or tools to convert into a silencer. It was ready to go. Bullshit. It's an open muzzle break with no tube. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/MPX-C-Detail-Hero.jpg Exactly. The baffles and "end cap" were already drilled and all it required was a tube. Remember that to be a silencer, it doesn't have to perform well or be durable, it only has to muffle the sound of a shot and not blow up immediately. If someone slipped a tube of the right size over that thing and Krazy glued it on, it would last a few shots. If someone tried to shoot through one of these kits, it would immediately blow up and probably damage the gun as well as cause serious injury to the shooter. |
