    wonder how many shots you get before the suppressor is so packed with gunk it no longer suppresses.

    It should work pretty well and for a very long time if you clean it. Cleaning black powder residue from stainless is easy if you use hot soapy water. You could make up a soaking/flushing tank out of some large diameter pvc pipe and a small electric pump.

    Wish they would hurry up and deregulate suppressors. I don't care what anyone says, what goes into making a suppressor isn't worth anywhere near their prices. I certainly wouldn't pay those prices for a muffler and essentially that's all it is, a small muffler that machined to fit a gun.

    as long as people will pay, they'll always be expensive.

    just like $200 muzzle devices and $300 handguards.

    My buddy who manufacturers AR parts says the materials for a lower is like $4-7. Granted, he's got a couple hundred grand in equipment, but started about $30-40k on his first CNC, a used Haas.

    Well, think about it. You have a piece of seamless tube for the outside plus another tube that goes inside to use a spacers for the baffles. Plus some plate for the A blast baffle and some thin plate for a few standard baffles. Everything can be purchased off Amazon and is pretty easy to fabricate. The only real trick is the threading which can be done in a lathe with speeds and feeds from harbor freight $750 or so. This is 100 year old technology and if you want a titanium can that looks like a mailbox you will need so spend some money on a CNC plasma cutter.
    The web is loaded with x-ray photos of cans and you can see they are easy to put together.

    Easy is only easy if you know what the hell you are doing and have the tools to do it.

    Take someone that has never used a tape measure let alone calipers and let them loose on amazon to buy everything needed to make one so now your at a minimum of 1K<low in my opinion> inducing all tools and tooling. Now set him on Youtube for oh 20-40 hours to learn how to turn on a lathe and make it move.

    Now another 20+hours researching sizes and tolerances. blah blah blah.

    Now if its a company over a individual factor in employees, healthcare, liability insurance,rent,power,gas and the 100's of other costs of doing business.

    Sure its only 20-50 bucks in time and material but thats the cheap part add in the ass load of over head and itar taxes

    I forget there are people in this world, who only appear to be adults. They can't shoot, ride a horse, operate a boat, clean themselves properly, cook a good meal or any other skill worth mentioning. These people often make more than a man you can drop 100 miles from nowhere and expect him to walk to civilization. But we have books. Not that anyone can read anymore.

    Are you supposed to load it through the can or unscrew it for loading and then screw it back on?

    You load it thru the can. In their spare parts and accessories section They sell a combination guide and sleeve that you insert thru the can to keep the powder from going everywhere.
