[QUOTE="Seth247, post: 1619206, member: 12010"] I will ignore any personal attacks since i infact have my big boy pants on allready. THis isn't a thread about the validity of form one suppressors versus comercial suppressors. It is a thread asking for local machinists who are dabling in suppressors and may be trying to start up a buisiness with whom I can possibly do buisiness. As for material expense, titanium is more expensive than steel yes, but it's not gold. I would approximate that for a standard titanium tube/stainless baffle setup there would be approximately 100$ worth of material costs involved. Titanium, while rarer than steel is not the holy grail, and there isn't a while lot of it in a standard suppressor. stainless is stainless, it's not that expensive. Suppressors involving inconel are ofcourse the exeption as inconel is expensive and expensive to machine, just look at the triple tap break. This is why I said SOME supressors are overpriced. Not all. I will guarantee right now that there is much less than 100$ worth of materials in a 500$ tac-16 or whatever model. Supressors are much cheaper in european countries where they are unregulated. Us manufacturers know they can rip consumers off because the market is less saturated. Once again. I am simply asking about local machinists. [/QUOTE]
