Why are suppressors $$$?
#10
another factor people do not consider when looking at the cost of suppressors is the labor tooling and machines required to produce a quality product, titanium is actually a very difficult metal to work with as it doe not conduct heat well so the part you are machining holds and extreme about of heat at the work surface which anneals and destroys tooling far faster than steel..... inconel which is a common baffle material particularly the blast baffle, makes titanium seem like butter

there are cheap suppressors on the US market though they are typically small operations and marketed as "hunting" suppressors they are not intended for any sort of rapid fire, additionally many 22 lr cans are reasonably priced as the nature of 22 lr does not require super tough materials

if you have the tools and knowledge you can make them yourself AFTER submitting form1 paperwork and paying your tax stamp and getting approval i know a few people who have went that route and a few more who have nice professionally manufactured suppressors generally speaking the form 1 cans are not as nice as the high end deals but often cost pennies on the dollar excluding the tax stamp
Punctuation is for the weak....
