After reading the FAQs here about suppressors, I believe that after filing the proper forms and paying the tax, it is legal for me to make my own suppressor. I am a fairly talented toolmaker and have no doubt that a suppressor is well within my capabilities.
My question is when does whatever I come up with, officially become the suppressor I paid my tax on?
If I was to machine all the pieces from machineable wax to prove out the mechanical design, would that count as my suppressor? How about if I used aluminum to test actual funtion even though final design is meant to be stainless and titanium? If I screw up a few parts in the process, would they have to be destroyed or could they be left on the shelf for other possible uses?
Thanks for any insight into the laws.
