I own a machine shop. Yesterday we were approached by a customer wanting us to make a suppressor he had designed. He says that it is legal for us to build he will then fill out the paperwork for him to own it. My question is is this true. I dont want to do anything that is not legal.

What Gary said. You can make one for yourself and register it for yourself. For someone else? Like an 80 percent lower I'd say no.

Its legal under state law so long as you stamp Made in Kansas on it. That has been tried though by a couple guys in Junction City. The feds will enforce gun law no matter what state law says. They ignore drug laws over state laws but not gun laws. In fact here in Kansas the law says it is a felony to enforce federal gun law but the state let the wolves eat those guys. Don't do it. Its a good bet he is an ATF agent.

We know the guy pretty well he owns a business close by and we have made things for him in the past. The part where he wanted us to make it before he done the paperwork scared me.

You need a approved BAFA form 1 before starting a build from what I read.
