How to build a suppressor. Buy a tubular shaped muffler for small engines. Tap the end of the barrel to permit attaching the muffler to the barrel. Drill out the muffler to accomodate the width (caliber) of the round plus added tolerance. Set weapon up in firing stand and use a string puller to test fire rig. Fire the rig at least 20 times and inspect the muffler, its connection to the barrel for signs of cracking.
The mufflers on your cars are a suppressor. The only difference is with a weapon you are delivering a solid slug through the muffler. The larger the muffler the more sound it can suppress. Finally, if you dip your suppressor into water, the water in gas form will further suppress the sound of the explosion following the bullet.
Don’t know why you are so interested in suppressors.

Because NM is really great for it’s permissiveness of firearms and attendant accessories; if it were to pass the FFA I would like to be able to offer weapons with integrated suppressors.
And, being New Mexico, I would love the irony of owning a firearms company named “Iron River.”
