[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1619047, member: 423"] The cost of the materials and machine time are just part of the cost. R&D is probably as much or more than the raw cost of the suppressor. Also, the precision machines these *should* be made with are not cheap either. "Sticker shock" would probably aptly describe most people's reaction if they saw how much a full CNC lathe or mill costs. Many manufacturers also offer warranties, and then there is the all important profit. If you don't count your time, and are ok with not having the research and testing that is done by suppressor manufacturers, then sure, you can build one cheaper. I want to build my own someday, but not because I think I can build it cheaper overall, or because I think I can have something better; I want to do it just because I can. [/QUOTE]
