Suppressor Plans


Recommended Posts

Okay, I know you have to have your paperwork in order before beginning contruction of a suppressor. But it is perfectly legal to possess plans or drawings for a suppressor correct? I am wanting to see some plans or blueprints on how to construct one before I pay for a stamp. I have a lathe and have seen where others have made their own. If somebody has some plans or knows a good source let me know. Thanks.

I am posting from my phone so I can't send the files right now but pm me your email and I can email you a couple of PDFs for .22, .223 and a book on improvised suppressors. I can't vouch for any of it as I have not actually built any cans, just read a bit about them.

After having my inbox inundated with PMs, I managed to set up some DL links for the PDFs. Of course all NFA rules apply to the info contained in the PDF's, so don't go building anything without Uncle Sugar's OK.

Has anyone on here built one themselves? Any suggestions on which designs work best? Some of the designs I have seen are pretty complicated. Do these work that much better or are the gains (or loss of decibels) nominal?

From what I've learned with my F1 can unless you're ok with making a lot of K baffles and threading or welding your tube I'd stick to a monocore. That said try to make your blast chamber smaller to reduce FRP [First Round Pop] and don't make it too long like I did which also increases FRP. There are a number of different monocore designs that are easy to copy with a CNC mill, or you can do a staggered chamber core with a manual mill and some good end mills [or on a drill press if you're really stretched]. I would recommend you stick to 7075 and use Ti tubing or 7075 Al tubing of a reasonable thickness [i'd try to stay at or above 0.065" wall]
