The New Addition

I purchased another suppressor yesterday. This one is for my Glock 17.

I purchased an AAC Ti-RANT. I decided on this can because it is designed to be used on other cals as well. Even 300 Blackout.

The internals are heavy duty Titanium and heat treated stainless steel.

So the timer has begun. 

1. Purchase date - 9/22/14
2. Obtained 2 passport photos from CVS - 9/22/14
3. ATF Form 4 completed - 9/22/14
4. Two fingerprint cards. 9/23/14
5. Drop off for County Sheriff signature. 9/23/14

Next up is the two fingerprint cards and submission to the County Sheriff.

It is worth noting that the guys at the gun store said that the ATF has more than doubled the staff processing Class III paperwork. They said the goal, after the backlog has been addressed, is to make the process be only 8 weeks.

--We shall see. I will keep you informed!

Part 1: How to Legally Build a Suppressor

I have my new AR15 SBR that has all the paperwork done as detailed in the series How to Register an SBR.

One thing you should know is that these SBRs are seriously LOUD!

I started shopping for a suppressor. The prices are high: $800 to $1600

I have decided to build a suppressor. The odd thing is that I can't start making it until the paperwork is back. Here is where I start:

• Download and fill out the following forms: 
  
• ATF Form 1 (print 2 sided)
• Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B)
• Go to CVS for two passport photos
• Go to the County Courthouse and get two fingerprint cards ($10)
• Submit copies for the County Sheriff to sign
• Wait

There are hundreds of designs already available on the Internet. I think I will start with a .22 LR suppressor. I can decide that later because a design is not required on the form. I do need to tell the the Serial Number: JBM0001

--Might be a collectors item one day!!
