I’ve made a maglite suppressor before. I know how to submit them and what not, but now I’m wanting to venture off into a titanium tube still using freeze plugs for now. But anyway, for that, I’m gonna need a d cell sized tube, right? And end caps for those what are we doing? Just direct thread 1/2″×28, or are we doing something bigger to support thread on for a muzzle device?
Form1 sbr on this dumb lower, with an FTN.5 in the works. Damn, it feels good.
Two weeks ago I posted here that the Form 1 individual median had gone 83, 73, 48, 22 over the last four weeks of July, and I said the 22 would rise because that week was only about a third reported.
It didn't rise. With the rest of the records in, that week still reads 22. The two weeks before it actually came down, 73 to 62 and 48 to 44, because the later reports were faster rather than slower. That was the opposite of what I told you to expect, so I'm saying it plainly.
The weeks since read 8 days and 4 days.
The thing I couldn't call last time was trusts. That lane had turned on fourteen approvals, which is not enough to say anything. It's now on a hundred and two. Median over the thirty days to July 15 was 82 days; over the thirty days after, 66. Three things I checked before posting that.
Virginia dominates that lane's June records, to the point where one week is thirteen Virginia records out of thirteen. Dropping Virginia from both windows makes the fall bigger, 84 to 65, not smaller. Dropping Texas, the most common state recently, leaves it unchanged.
Recomputing the whole series using only approvals reported within three days of approval holds the reporting window constant, so slower reporting can't manufacture a trend. The most recent week reads the same either way.
Counting only approvals that waited 30 days or less takes filings still sitting in the queue out of the question entirely. Trusts produced none of those in most weeks through mid-July, then 6, then 3, then 16.
Where the two lanes actually are is different, though. In the week of August 10, the individual lane approved 30 filings and 29 of them were filed that same month. There's no old work left in it. The trust lane approved 33 that week: one from May, ten from June, fifteen from July, seven from August. It's still working a backlog. Trusts look roughly like individuals did in mid-July.
Over the last fourteen days, individual Form 1s are running a median of 6 days against Form 4 individual's 5, on 110 and 43 approvals, with overlapping confidence intervals. In June those two were 69 days and 6. Trusts are at 53.
What I can't tell you is why. This data has approvals in it and never applications, so ATF adding capacity and a backlog running dry look exactly the same from where I'm sitting.
Community-reported data, so it's a sample. If your Form 1 came through recently, the filing date and the approval date are the two numbers that make this better.
So I put in a batch of 6 Form 1s the other day, and goofed up and accidentally answered yes to being dishonorably discharged from the armed forces. About 8 hours later I got the one denied notification.
Before anything says anything, I know I should have proofread, but I'm an idiot and the one time I didn't, I did this.
Anyway, I never served at all. I'm sure the ATF can see if I served or not, and I know it was denied because I put in the wrong answer.
My question is this: Should I call the ATF to make sure everything is straightened out and explain I messed up, or just roll with it at this point and see what happens with the rest of the batch?
I've been on the fence about 3d printing our first can for a couple of months now and stopped just short of submitting my form.
What stopped me?
I don't know what fkn can to build out.
We just paid for a LNIB Walther p22Q for my daughter. Normally id want as much suppression as possible but 22lr being inherently dirty makes me think we should probably get some flow through activity...
The plan is to print in CF nylon.
What cans should I be considering?
At the moment I'm thinking ftn6 rimfire flow?
Currently trying to submit a bunch of f1s but I’m stuck at birth country. It’s showing everywhere but the US. Am I missing something? This isn’t my first f1 so I’m not sure what happened
Has anyone tried pps cf? What do you think about it over ppacf for supressors? Now that we have the ruling im sure more people willing to share their experience.

I've seen dozens of posts, articles, videos about this. But they all only mention Form 4. What about those of us that build things for themselves. Are Form 1 Suppressor builds also deregulated federally?
Anybody have information on building short barrel rifles or suppressors now that registration is no longer required.
As I understood its for a pin in the can to align and keep the can from rotating, so you can tighten it on the barrel threads. Please let me know if I got this all backwards.
Ugly and IDGAF, what’s the life expectancy of these cans, under regular not crazy shooting load?
I increased walls and max infill on everything.
Submitted a Form 1 SBR via Silencer Shop on 8-04, approved this morning 8-13.
I have a Form 4 in progress too, I wonder if it will clear as well.
Where are we engraving these at? Need to know where trust info can fit, ideally out of site once reassembled.
Two day approval on an SBR I filed Wednesday. Just got it this afternoon.
