joeschmoe,
Your attitude towards guns on this forum is appalling. It seems as though you have some sort of grudge against those of us who make their own silencers. I make silencers as a hobby; 18 silencers in eleven years so far. None of them are disposable and most of them work well. While I have made a few that did not perform to my expectations, I have no regrets.
Also the problem with building your own silencers is that they don't last more than a few rounds, and once ruined, the main body cannot be replaced.
All of my silencers so far have more than 1000 rounds through them; my 223 can has nearly 5000 and should last at least 10,000. I can replace any part I want as long as I send it to a FFL/SOT class 2 or pay another $200 tax. It takes a lot to ruin the main tube. I assembled a 308 can with a front end cap weld that did not penetrate enough. The second round sent all of the parts up to 80 yards down range. I found them all and re-welded the can together and it is still working just fine today
You have to go thru the whole permit process again.
Please tell us more about this "permitting process". Is it something new I have yet to hear about? I make silencers and do not obtain a permit or license to do so; I just pay the tax on each one before making parts.
That is why people pay more for silencers that are tough and/or can be repaired without a new stamp.
My silencers are tough, maybe tougher than those made by the pros. They are also heavier than some made for the military or civilian market. The real trick is making a durable silencer that is effective and not bulky and heavy.
So although we can make silencers pretty easy, making a good one that lasts, or can be repaired, is not easy.
Actually I have found that making a newly designed part is hard, making it a second time is easy.
It's worth the few hundred extra dollars for a commercially built one.
A few hundred extra dollars? Silencers cost between $200 and $3500 in the USA. I will make a 50 bmg silencer for $250 plus the ATF's tax. Where are you getting these silencers that cost a few hundred bucks?
Otherwise you're paying a $200 stamp, a stack of paperwork and months of waiting just for a disposable silencer.
Who is making these disposable registered silencers?
What rational reason do you have to believe anything in your post?
