Hi,
Does anyone have a feel for what a fair price for a machine shop to cut inside threads on a tube, and turn-down and outside thread a pair of endcaps for that tube? I understand this would have to be done on an approved BATF form 1 for suppressor manufacture.
Thanks

Not allowed, these are considered supressor parts and must be made by the person who holds the already approved stamp or by an 07/02
I know this sounds crazy but if you are making a part for a supressor then it has to be pre-approved via the $200 tax stamp.
Do not make the parts and then ask for permission to make it!

Just to expand on what HB is saying....

With an approved form 1 in hand, it is my understanding that the maker listed on the form could have someone do the machining if he/she was in the presence of the item at the time of manufacture. This would not allow you to just drop your form 1 with someone and tell them to get to work. I also wouldent think it would allow an 07/02 to make it for you but they could work on it after it is completed

With an approved form 1 you can send a rifle to an 01/03 or an 07/02 to be shortened for you. I don't see why you couldn't have your form 1 can worked on the same way.

A normal every day machine shop, you'd have to be there with it the entire time.
