I came across some info about a suppressor made from a D cell maglite, and now I’m kind of intrigued by them. Do any of y’all have one? If so, what’s the process of filing a form 1 on one? Can you use the maglite serial number or do you need to engrave your own? Also would you have to engrave a manufacturer and city?

IMHO, there are so many great “solvent trap” manufacturers that it is not worth going the maglite route anymore. It used to be one of the best ways if you didn’t own machining equipment. But to answer your question, if the serial number is deep enough and >1/16” tall you could “adopt” it. You’d still need to engrave the model, caliber, manufacturer and city, state. My favorite solvent trap manufacturer is diversified machine. I’ve made 4 form one cans.

DM sells different styles of baffles as well that fit his tubes, you just email him to see what’s in stock. I think he keeps a list in the vendor section of the Form 1 forum as well. I’ve got Ti valve spring retainers in my 22 can , but the rest were made by DM. I can post pictures if you want.

In my opinion what would be a better option would be to retro fit a maglight over a suppressor for the look but also maintain good sound and suppression of a well built can

Go to the form1 suppressor board and read everything rust has written. Great info.

Yeah, the longevity of it is my concern. I think I’m going to go the route of buying a titanium “solvent trap” tube instead. It isn’t much more expensive, and should be a lot more durable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

With 100% Ti parts it was just over $400. $200 for the tube and end cap and $200 for internals. It’s much cheaper to go SS or aluminum, but I wanted lightweight and durable. If you like to tinker and build things it’s the way to go, if not you can spend a couple hundred extra and have a factory can with warranty.

I should get my can back from Rusty some time this next week. I’ll report back when I get to try it out.

I just sent him $ for the can. Now looking to decipher filling out the Eform paperwork. Anybody have a ‘Dumnys guide to Eform for the Form 1?

I am continually amazed at what a little bit of intelligence and want-to will do in the right hands. I would have never thought of making a flipping gun suppressor out of a flashlight. I have 2 suppressors (that I bought off the shelf) and this is awesome...

![]() It’s working for me right now. Their site goes down every Wednesday and periodically at other times. You would think with every person using it paying $200 each that they would have a decent website, but that’s certainly not the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But another link to Eforms says NFA Form 1, 4, and 5 are not in service at the preset times me, due to regulatory implementation with no set date of restoration to service. Last edited by Witchgrass; 01-10-2019 at 03:04 PM. |

Ok. Banging my head here. The only form I can get to work, is the paper form 1. Will that work? I know it won’t be near as fast as Eforms, but, for the life of me, I can’t get it to work.

Try this link: https://eforms.atf.gov/EForms/faces/...e=306296f52_61 Don’t do it on paper. I would try a different browser or computer. Like I said earlier, the website is a POS and is finicky. If you can’t get it to work, wait a day or to and try it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
