Need A Local Machine Shop

I need to get moving on making my HEL suppressor.

My buddy with the lathe moved and it's been in a holding pattern for, literally, years because of it.

The design is simple, but to fairly tight tolerances.

Anyone know of a good, small, shop around Tampa that would let me rent a machine?

  1. Just out of curiosity, what keeps the big middle piece (dimensioned at 3.8110 and 4.6860) from sliding to the right?

    1. It's welded to the tube. I sectioned it so that it looks solid, but it's really a cross-shape. That's the part that threads to the barrel. The HEL uses a rear expansion chamber.

  2. Interesting design. It looks like it adds a lot less overall length than a lot of other designs.

    1. Pay for the equipment and licenses to become a manufacturer and I will give you the first production model once your Form 4 clears!
