m&p15-22 suppressor

[27 Beck]

I live in western colo. Yeah I guess it might be a little tougher to get an approval in Detroit or Denver But for the most part unless they can prove that you are a menace to society you should
be able to get your TAX stamp!! People do it everyday, I would suggest you check your local laws etc. Then think back and try n remember how bad a boy you were back in the day!! LOL

In my area you can own Class 3 weapons. But the CLEO will not sign. Just refuses. Doesn't matter that there is no known reason, just won't sign. No law that says they MUST sign.

Which is just stupid, because CLEO is not giving you a authorization to own a class 3 item, it's just his acknowledgment that owning said class 3 item is not against the law in his city/county/state. Of course, you can get around this with a simple revocable trust or a corporation.

Here is the one I made for about a dollar. 1in. piece of pvc pipe cut to size and thre strips of the pipe glued to the inside for a tight slip on fit then painted flat black.

Onapar,

wondering if you have anymore pics of that PVC. maybe from the front?

If you make it yourself i take it that you don't need a tax stamp right?
and if that is the case being a plumber ican make as many as i want to.
but would that be breaking any laws i don't need them knocking on my door.

nooo... dont do it! lol, im not 100% versed on the 'making-you-own' part of it, but i DO know that you need a stamp, no matter where it comes from. as far as making it yourself, you better do some homework on the subject... i think there might be a pop-test! or at least, dont let anyone see it...

 

[springfield.45]

Yeah i guess you're right about the homework don't want a "Hey guys watch this" to happen or one of my cop buddies to see it, so i'll just leave this one alone!!!.

lol, yeah.. theres nothing saying that you cant make a faux suppressor tho! your best bet might be to call a local class 3 dealer, and ask. even then, im sure he'd try to sway you to buy a factory one from him. take a look at the Gemtech ummm... outback II or something like that, i cant recall, but its right on their site.

As far as federal laws go, there's nothing to keep you from making your own supressor without a manufacturers license so long as it's for your own personal use (do not sell it) But it's still a NFA item and still requires a tax stamp. Local laws are the big limiting factor. If you're interested in making your own, contact the BATFE to get the info on what they require.

I believe he was asking about a fake can. but as long as it doesnt lower the sound by more than 2dbs then its legal (if i recall correctly) atf says to be classify as a suppressor it has to lower the sound level that much but check me on that... ive built a fake can and have it on mine. it looks like an intregally suppressed ar now(it adds no length to the rifle) i get alot of thats cool as *ell remarks... i work for a class 2 weapons manu. so i actually have several different flash hiders / muzzel tamers ive put on it. if anyone wants to see pics i can post them ... i think lol.... just so people know flash hiders and muzzel tamers usally raise the volume of the gun.. dummy cans shouldnt change sound level at all but can if they extend past the barrel ... i did notice a slight accuracy increase when i installed my fake can im assuming its from the weight hanging off the end of the barrel

Belt Fed, lets see those pics.
There is a thread adapter on ebay for non threaded barrels. It slips over the end and is held on with set screws. It should work fine for a flash hider or a fake can. But you really need to have the barrel threaded concentric to the bore within .002 In. T.I.R. .0005 In. would be ideal. The barrel has no taper except for the last few inches by the chamber. This lets your machinist or gunsmith chuck up close to the muzzle, and use a 4 jaw chuck to get inside the tolerance needed. Turning between centers is the old easy way of threading tapered barrels. It works well, but it can damage the breech face and the crown. Plus there is a slew of other problems with a length of pipe spinning in a lathe. Very experience machinists can pull it off without a hitch.

ive threaded well over 100 barrels for myself and other people.. ive found the best way to get it right is to build a jig(aka setup tool) that inserts in the barrel so that u can locate off the i.d. of the barrel i have never picked up a barrel that the i.d. and o.d. were true to each other... But i can say that the smiths r pretty close... i did go ahead and put an 11* target crown back on mine causr the 1/2-28 threads leave a sharp edge with the recess that is cut from the factory... and i may need some help on those pics havent figured it out yet lol

I agree 100% that the I.D. and O.D. are almost never concentric. Thats why I use an indicator in the bore and not on the barrel O.D. plus a 4 jaw lathe chuck gets you right on the money. I did the same crown on the muzzle, for the same reason.
Maybe you should advertise your services. I bet you would get a lot of work from 15-22 owners.
For the pics, Use the "go advanced" reply. At the top, there is a paperclip. That is where you can attach pics that are on your computer, to the post. If you have pics online, photobucket for instance, use the mountain with a little sun, and it will ask for the URL of your image. The paperclip images are the little ones in the posts and the mountain / sun are the large images.

[ditrina]

The M&P 15-22's with the threaded barrel/ flash hider are in the stores... I had one in my hand last week.. SKU # 811033

Enjoy!!

 

[tacticool22]

The shroud looks great. What are the details? Ya gotta love that threaded barrel. Now all you need is a new handguard;-)

 

[BELT_FED]

i had to retake them in a lesser setting but here r a few more...just incase anyone cares the browning 1919 is what i help the classII friend build the most of and i mean we build alot of them... that 1 is mine that i built out of spare parts it is a 50 state legal semi auto monster....

 

[BELT_FED]

ya ive allready made the nut just havent found the right grip or should i say right grip for the price

 

[BELT_FED]

as far as details go... i work for a class II weapon manuf. on my days off from my real job and in my free time i monkey with my own stuff... i had the rifle less than 1 hr before me and the mad scientist tore it apart and started dreaming stuff up for it... i really like the attention the gsg-5sd gets at the range so i threaded the barrel 1/2-28 and made the can to copy that look.. it really balances the rifle out in looks and feel... its made from a piece of t6 billet aluminum and ive played with the weight till it feels like i think it should... right now its just painted but it will be duracoated this week (simular to the coating on a h&k mp5) we do alot of threading barrels for people with legal suppressors so we r tooled to do it right.. hope every1 likes the pics and if i can help any1 on here let me know
