Two questions.
1. By the Choid/ATF logic, is every formed freeze plug, or machined cone, every tube, and every threaded end cap a silencer part? How much of a billet piece can be machined away before it stops becoming a piece of metal and becomes a silencer part?
2. The DM setup was a kit that included all the parts but was home machined. But when filling out the paperwork, you don’t tell the ATF that DM made my silencer. You tell them the length, and bore of it. Where you get that parts should be irrelevant as long as those parts haven’t been machined. So question 2 is how much of the silencer can come from one company to be considered such a kit. You can order all those parts from a variety of companies to build the silencer, so where is the line?
