I see a lot of references to a "DM".  Is this someone that can machine parts for me for my form 1 build?

What exactly can he do that's not available from SD?

Meant SD Tactical.

What kind of parts does Chris machine?  I thought I had to build the can myself?

ETA:  I have very little machining knowledge and was under the impression that I could purchase the parts needed from SD and the only thing I needed to do was drill the baffles and end cap.

What am I missing besides a whole lot?

Same deal. My mount adaptor, and cap, and spacer material is from DM. Tube is a modified SDTA and I'll use sealed power FPs and a spring

Why did you decide to go with DM for the mount adapter and cap vs SDTA?  What does DM provide that I cant get from SDTA?

ETA:  I am assuming I can send DM un formed freeze plugs and he can form the baffles....just cant drill the holes?  Basically I can have him do everything but drill the holes?

YHM mount in Ti or SS
ETA: SDTA could never get their YHM adaptor correct. To my knowledge, DM is the only game in town

Can he machine mounts for specific muzzle devices such as a AAC blackout flash hider?

Not to my knowledge. I'd buy a blast shield and use that as a the back adaptor. Same concept on griffin or Surefire's

No one seems to know if DM has an 01/07 FFL and where is is located seems to be a closely held secret, so it's hard to know what the process for him to legally machine baffles for you would be. There would be one but it would require at least 1 tax stamp, possibly more than 1. Disregarding that, he can not under any circumstance legally just make your baffles and drop them in the mail to you.

He could machine shot glasses and you could drill them

Or make you some VSRs that don't need to be drilled...in case you were working on a motor.

FYI. This has been discussed in a few threads.
