looks like a crappy die I would look for a tungsten one or just go visit my buddie a machinist. That is not a common size that comes in a set.

a HSS die will work fine. Stay away from carbon steel.

If your just going to do it one time, I would just pay somebody to do it for me

Yep, just have a gunsmith do it, it'll work out a lot better, especially if you are asking this question. Are you looking to put a can on it or what?

well for now just a dummy silencer, but eventually when i can afford a real one...... assuming obama doesnt totally outlaw them.

that says TN allows them and i know for a fact that it is illegal here...im guessing they dont mean silencer when they say suppressor

silencer = suppressor

that site was updated in 2003...

silencer = suppressor

obviously thats why i said it. i wouldnt have mentioned it if it was 2 different things dumb ass

either way that site is wrong...you should go to your local court house or pd and ask first. im pretty sure you have to get a permit to get one and that is nearly impossible

edit: i just looked at it again and it said machine guns are legal too...you have to get a permit for those so i am guessing that is why they said suppressors are legal...but like i said you have to jump through hoops to get the permit and then the police still keep a watch on you

Permit Required =/= Illegal
