Kind of a long story on how I got into this position...
For the past four weeks, I've been enrolled in college for precision machining. I would very much like to try my hand at building a suppressor on a Form 1. While I have no previous skills, the course goes very in depth.
Some of the designs I have seen don't look too terribly complicated, but I always assume that any project will end up being 10x harder than what you initially think. However, I'm only 18, so while it's perfectly legal to fill out a Form 1 and build a suppressor, I'm pretty limited on being able to buy one, since Class III dealers are out of the question.
As for the subject line... I would like to build a suppressor to pin to a 10.5" upper. We've all seen the goofy 11.5" uppers with long flash hiders to 16", I figured "why not get something that gives you some benefit for your drop in muzzle velocity?"
Where would I go to find information on the skills involved to build one? I know nothing, and would like to gather as much information as possible before shelling out $200 to build parts that cant be replaced.
Also, regarding the idea in general; do you guys think it's worth it? To anyone who wants a suppressed SBR, this seems like a great MI-Legal compromise. Thanks for the input!
