Re: Anybody do a form 1 can? (Doc?)

My suggestion is to get the solvent traps before you send the form1. The form one needs dimensions. By buying the trap first you know exact measurements. Also I would get two kits or buy additional baffles, end caps as when you go to buy a replacement part two years from now will the exact part be a...

Re: Anybody do a form 1 can? (Doc?)

If you have extra drilled baffles and end caps AND a registered tube you may NOT have the parts to make another complete suppressor. If he had not drilled the baffles and end caps he would have been fine but once they were drilled he had to destroy the “extra” tube.
