Does anyone have some first hand knowledge about what the registered owner of a suppressor can potentially do to alter the suppressor? I am specifically interested in options for adding additional suppressor volume to some of the units I have that do not take full advantage of the space made available by elevated sights, etc. In other words, are we allowed to add additional "suppressor-like" features to an existing, registered suppressor?
Here is an example that I think will get some of you other suppressor owners interested: One of my units is a .45 pistol suppressor that I also use on an HK UMP conversion. If allowable, I could easily double the amount of volume of the existing can without interfering with the sights. And, this can has a LID that I use with pistols so obviously it is allowable to change the length of the suppressor when the LID is attached.
The potential is there for many rifles too. The 5.56 can I have for my AR's could basically fit inside of another larger can for greater sound suppression when used on my MSAR. The question is, are we allowed to do this? Or, are any savvy suppressor manufacturers working on this type of configurable/modular strategy already?
