Neat, looks a lot like an r700

I should read the whole article, it was made for PTG 40xb rimfire bolt.
-
Yeah, Wayne sent me that a couple weeks ago. Pretty cool.
-
I feel like Orkan should start printing these off.

Sorry fellas, I don't have a printer that will do steel. ... yet.

Imagine the complex baffle stacks you could build with a 3D printer that would do titanium...If they would hold up.
I think I remember someone in England or something like that trying it...but I don't remember the outcome.
-
Yeah, I saw that printed 338 suppressor a guy has been using. Haven't heard anything about it in a while.
We are on the forefront of the second industrial revolution. No doubt about it.

You can't manufacture your own suppressor can you? I know you can manufacture your own gun, which doesn't make sense at all. I can make a gun, but not a gun part. Stupid politicians.
-
Yes, you can make your own suppressor. Form 1 is sent in, once approved, you can begin building.
-
you can actually legally make a suppressor out of a coke bottle...as long as you get an approved form 1 first. I have two form 1's...but both are on SBR's. I don't have the equipment or the knowledge to build a quality suppressor or else I would have already tried it.
An easier way is to buy the mag-light solvent trap adapters, file a form 1 on it, then when the form 1 clears (6-9 months later) drill out the end cap to the appropriate diameter. However...if you are going to acquire a suppressor, spend the money up front and get a good one. Ain't no reason to spend $200 on a tax stamp for a piece of garbage suppressor.
If you try the form 1 route, there are other specific laws that must be taken into account such as serialization and engraving.
