How To Build Military Grade Suppressors

Suppressor Building Manual

How To Build Military Grade Suppressors is Keith Anderson's workshop manual for making a rifle suppressor, the muzzle device that cuts the report of a gunshot, starting from raw material and ending with a finished unit. It covers designs for calibers from .22 up to .50 BMG, the heavy Browning Machine Gun cartridge. The book is written for home machinists, gunsmiths and NFA hobbyists who want to understand how a suppressor is engineered and put together.

Before You Build

Suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act. In the US, making one requires approved federal paperwork before any work starts, and some states ban civilian ownership outright. Treat this book as a technical reference, and check federal, state and local law before you machine a single part.
