The e file system was still working for form 1. Its typically under a month. Downside right now would be find a place to do fingerprints to send in.  Thanks for the clarification.

It’s important to point out you CANNOT do any R&D before settling on length, number of baffles or anything else regarding design. How can that possibly be right? Just reading this thread alone constitutes R&D, or at least the R.

I guess I should have focused the Development side. As a maker, you cannot ‘test’ or ‘prototype’ your designs like a manufacturer may be allowed to do. Your approved BATFE Form 5320.1 “Form 1” allows you to build one suppressor as described. May sound silly, but apparently the ATF defines a maker and manufacturer as two totally different things.

Big joe, I believe you’re probably right as long as you add the term “complete” to it. That’s why it’s legal to sell solvent traps, or even highly modified solvent traps.....they are not “suppressors” until they are properly drilled and threaded and anything else needed to make them function as a suppressor.

The lesson from this thread is that anyone who does a form 1 build, needs to completely research what they can and can't do during the build.
